This week was
wonderful, and full of cakes, cookies, and goodies!
Everyday at lunch this week, members gave us some pastel or
something for my birthday and WOW!! It
was a great week! On Thursday, my Zone
even gave me a cake and sang to me! But,
thanks to the wonderful Elders in my Zone, half of the cake went on my face… I
went to take the “bite” out of the cake (a tradition here) and the Elders
pushed the cake on my face. Tasted
really good! One of the American Elders
said, “Hey look, Mrs. Doubtfire!” Only
the American Missionaries laughed, but, it was pretty funny.

Also, MILAGROS WAS
BAPTIZED!!!!! It was such a wonderful service. I don't know if I mentioned
this, but her boyfriend is a Return Missionary and he was able to baptize her.
It was wonderful. But this past week wasn't all butterflies and flowers for
her. It was actually really difficult. Like I said before her father is a
Preacher for the Adventist church and yes, he was fine with us teaching
Milagros. But, when she went up to him to tell him that she was going to be
baptized, he wasn't very happy with her decision. Actually, in better terms, he
was furious! He almost threw her out of the house. While she was telling us all
of this we were in shock, but she told us something really special. I wasn't
worried about what my father thought, or what my father did. I know that this
church is true, and I know that God was with me. I didn't have any reason to
fear. I was truly amazed! On Saturday, we were able to watch her make this
sacred covenant with our Heavenly Father and I was so honored to be apart of
it. After she was confirmed yesterday, she came up to Hermana Valdez and I
telling us that she now wants to serve a mission! Yay!!!!

Also, this last week we
had Zone Conference with our Mission President, President Erickson and
Hermana Erickson, and it was great! We learned a lot and even ate pulled-pork
sandwiches! First time I've eaten that in 11 months.... Yum!

Well, I couldn't be
happier to be a missionary and I love it more than words can say! I hope this
finds you all well and happy. Pray for the missionaries, we need it! Have a
wonderful week, I LOVE YOU ALL!!
Con mucho amor,
Herm'ANNA' Karratti
