Hola a todos! This week was tough but exciting. We received two new member referrals L & L. Please keep these individuals in your prayers. We also had the chance to continue teaching B—a lady who has been investigating the Church for about a month now. For the longest time, she tried to prove us missionaries wrong but when we taught the Plan of Salvation, her mindset changed and now she is completely open to hearing all the lessons. This circumstance is a large miracle I saw this week. Her friend Justin whom we have been teaching for awhile told us that she would like to be baptized and become a member of the Church! 😮 That is so amazing! 👏

Speaking of baptisms, this coming weekend on Saturday, we have a baptism for a lady named J! She is ready and prepared to begin her journey back to our Heavenly Father. In Preach My Gospel, I recently read the story of Jesus Christ when he asked John the Baptist to Baptize him so he could be an example of whom we should follow. 

In 3^rd Nephi 17:20, the Savior taught:

“Repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me and be baptized in my name, that ye may be sanctified by the reception of the Holy Ghost”.

With these memorable words, Christ invites all to follow Him and to be baptized in His name. I can promise you that if you do this, your life will change and you will see joy and peace in this life more often. I know that Christ lives and that we are the sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father who is always waiting to hear from us through prayer. I invite you all to find someone you know and share the Book of Mormon with them. I promise that the Holy Spirit will be there and that you will be blessed for doing so. 

On another note, we also fed an elk this week. It was an experience of a lifetime that you won’t find unless you go outside the big city to someplace like Africa. I found it hilarious that the elk was munching on a block of bird seed. 😂 

Love you all and 3 1/2 months left to go!

❤️ ✌️ 😎
