week 45

This week was a miracle. Our president has always said, ¨One day, missionary work will come to the point where people come knock on our doors and ask us if they can be baptized.¨

This week as we walked to an appointment we had a little old lady stop us and ask us, Excuse me, Are you missinaries? 

Yes, we are, we share a special message about Jesus Christ.

Will you please come to my house and teach me?

..... Yes of course we will. 

Her house smelled of cigarrettes and coffee, not a good sign, but then again, she let us in. I couldnt complain. We explained our purpose, sang a hymn, and said a prayer and began talking with her. We let her know that her loved ones were resting in paradise if they had done well in this life to follow Jesus Christ, we explained how Jesus Christ was baptized. She said, Dont worry, I was baptized as a baby, along with all my children and grandchildren, but I have stopped going to the catholic chruch due to a lot of hipocritical leaders I have seen. 

We explained again what we meant by baptism, emphasizing the way Christ was baptized, by authority and immersion. She said, Do I need to be baptized again? If you tell me I need to, I will. I dont doubt anything you two tell me, i know you are sent from God. 

Leticia accepted the invitation to be baptized the 15th of august. It was a miracle. then on sunday, Leticia came to church with us, we explained that if she felt, she too could share her testimony and that today, was fast and testimony meeting. She gladly stood up, walked to the pulpit and shared with everyone how God answers prayers. It was absolutely Incredible. 

Also, Our family, 3 of the 4 have accepted a baptismal date for the 15th of august and the 14 year old is at FSY ( efy for mexico) right now for the whole week, the ward got him excited to go and he said, yeah why not, so he is currently being mormon brainwashed by a bunch of crazy efy conselors! haha but in a good spiritual brainwashing kind of way. We  are hoping he comes back excited for baptism. 

Our zone is doing awesome and we have 12 batpisms planned as a zone for the same night. Its going to be a noche blanca, a white night.  August 15, my companion and I are responsible for 6 of those. It should be a very special couple of weeks. A big problem right now for two of those investigators is quit smoking. Keep those fighting this terrible addiction in your prayers that they can have a testimony stronger than their addiction. 

I love you all, If you have any questions i will be here a tiny bit longer
