Hey Everyone....
So that postal service eh? it's been rough! no mail now for three weeks in a row! The mail boxes here are locked so don't be offended if you don't get mail from me in the near future! The word on the street is that the government will step in this week and force them to go back to work but you can only dream!
So this week on the mission has been busy! We have so much to be greatful for in the kingsway ysa area!! My most exciting news is that we have three solid baptismal dates set now for july and i just feel so blessed to have seen the change of heart occur in these people's lives!
Michelle is amazing! We asked her to pray this week and ask heavenly father when she should be baptized. We told her preferable on a friday or saturday. She said she prayed and after her prayer the date july sixteenth came to her head.... she then thought wait when is that? looked at a calendar and saw it was a saturday! i was so impressed by the faith she had to ask heavenly father and open her heart and mind to an answer from the spirit. i know and am confident that when we go forward in faith every pray we say is answered!
Alvaro is a sweet heart and says "wow" after we teach him a gospel principle! he's so excited to learn more and feels that everything we believe just makes sense. he's preparing to be baptized july 23 and is amazing and reading and understanding the book of mormon even though english is his recent second language! so impressive...
Andy bore his testimony to us this week on how he knows that the book of mormon is the word of god and that he wants to follow the savior. he's so excited to be baptized next saturday and we're working hard to help him feel ready and confident to enter the waters of baptism.
Right now there are so many things going on the world! Also so many things that at times i feel i'm missing out on... i've been really sick this week.... no mail.... and did everyone hear my brother was drafter june 24th in minnesota to the calgary flames!!!!!! i'm so proud of him! i wish so bad i could have been there and can't help but tell EVERYONE about it.... he's amazing and is such a great example of someone who works so hard and sacrifices to make his dream come true!
No matter what happens though i feel so blessed to be here on a mission, i've grown so much, and can you believe i've been out of just over four months! boy does time flie!!!! transfers are comming up fast again, july 13th! it's definitely the time of the transfer to really get to the grind and do everything you can to accomplish heavenly father's work in your area!
Love you all, stay strong, and keep the faith!!!
