Week 9

Nov 5, 2012

Well Hey There Family!

How are ya'll this fine Monday morning? As always I super loved all the emails and pictures that were sent my way. Oh, the smile they bring to my face. Dang also all those nieces and nephews of mine are SO stinkin cute its ridiculous!

Well lucky this week has been just super duper! We have witnessed some serious miracles! First of all we got to see our little cholito Jose last week a couple of times and we have just been able to see some changes in him. We had a really good lesson about the love of the Savior and by the end of it he was feeling really pumped and loved! Jose is great! He is just one of our favorite people. He is always happy to see us and is just so funny. We set a baptism date with him a couple week ago for July 27, 2014 haha :) That's the first Sunday after his probation is up. We can't really count that as having a date but it made us feel better. :) He is SUCH a champion. I am a huge fan of him!

Secondly, last Tuesday we got up nice and early as usual however we noticed that Ruby had texted us. I don't know if I mentioned Ruby before but she is 15 but acts like she’s 25, she speaks English so I love her lots! However about 3 weeks after I got here she had texted us and told us she was too busy with school and to stop coming by. SAD! But this is the great part, she texted us early early Tuesday morning saying the she just missed us so much and that she had been READING THE BOOK OF MORMON and she just really felt the peace it brought. She said that she loves the catholic religion and always will but everything we taught her and everything she has read just feels so right in her soul! Oh my goodness we were soo pumped! We texted her back and later that day she called us and told us she had watched the Restoration movie we left her a month ago and we was really sad it was only 20 mins! Can you believe her? She is so precious! So anyways she wanted us to come over that night to meet her mom and teach her because she really thought she would love it too. So we went over later and the two of them are MAJOR talkers. I love them so much! They just kept talking and talking! So we didn't have enough time to actually get to a lesson but we are going back this on wed to teach them the Plan of Salvation. Please be mindful of them in your prayers. We are so blessed to meet the people we do and have the experiences we do! God always takes care of us!

I missed ya'll a lot this week on Halloween. We were told to be in our apts by 6 and deep clean our apt. :) We deep cleaned our apt then watched all the Christmas movies we have while painting our nails and making el dia de los muertos paper dolls. We are SO exciting!

Well anyways-good things are always happening, even when we don't feel we deserve it. I love you all so very much!!
