Can you believe it? 10 months!!
Time is sure flying by so
quickly and I couldn't believe it. I don't know how I feel about it, I'm happy
but sad at the same time. Such a weird feeling! Well, today we find out who
will have changes and who will stay. We always find out after internet, so next
week I may have a new companion, or I might be with Hermana Aceituno, we don't
know yet! But, we'll just have to see!

| My Missionary Plaques So, my entire mission I've only used one of my plaques... well, I think it's gotten a little worn. Time to use my other! |
So, this week was great! Yesterday, we had one
of our investigators accept a date for her baptism! February 14th (Bryant's
Birthday!) we were so happy! It's been hard to teach her, because her Dad is a
preacher of another church. But Milagros (that's her name) didn't know what to
do. Because she knew that what she was learning was correct, but she was scared
as to what her father would say. Normally, all the lessons are in a members
house, but, she doesn't want her father to know that she's listening to the
missionaries. But, yesterday we decided that we needed to teach her in her house
to try to get to know her father. So we went there and we introduced ourselves
to him and he told us, "I have such respect for you because you came to my
house and you want to do this right. If my daughter wants to go down this path,
I'll allow it." When we said that, all of our mouths just dropped.
Especially Milagros. We went on to teach her, and as we finished we decided to
invite her to baptism. We did and we originally planned for the 21st of
February, but when we said that date, she asked, "Can we do it sooner?"
The sooner the better! I'm just sooo happy!

| Our "Mother" Hermana Jesus always signs up to serve us lunch... Such a cute lady!! |
Also this week, we found a less-active family.
Well, last week we were in the Chapel and our Ward Mission Leader told us that
we should go talk to a family that was walking into the Chapel. We went up to
introduce ourselves and they were less-actives. Apparentl,y they haven't been to
church in over 5 years. They're the Robles Family (that sounds weird in
English... Familia Robles, yeah that's better) and they decided to go back to
church when their youngest daughter, Lusiana who is 8 found a Book of Mormon on
their bookshelf. She asked what this book was, and Hermano Luis (the father)
started to explain it a little and he also explained if she wanted she could be
baptized. Lusiana went on to ask her family why they weren't going to church,
and her parents couldn't really come up with a good reason as to why. So, they
came, and all this week we've been visiting with them. They're a wonderful
family and I'm so thankful for Lusiana and her desire to learn more! She's such
a cutie!

Well, this week was
pretty great! I hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy the last week of
January! How crazy is that?? Well, I love you and miss you all! Have a
wonderful week and know you're always in my prayers. Like Rosemary M. Wixom
once said, “As individuals we are strong. Together, with God, we are
unstoppable.”
May God
bless you all this week!
Con mucho amor,
