Week 4 Transfer 7

"Ahhhh" (Angels Singing)... Yay! Grace was interviewed for Baptism! She will be Baptized this Saturday!! A long tiring process of teaching her and figuring out her worries and questions and doubts to NOW! I'm so excited for her! I'll have pictures next week!

So this week. Brother Alimar.. He's totally like Brigham Young. He is studying everything out before he really is gonna make a decision in my point of view. I told him to look up Brigham Young's story on LDS.ORG. I'm hoping he reads it and it helps him come to be baptized faster and sooner! All he really needs to do now is go to church. That's the hardest thing on my mission I think... Getting people to go to church.. But, once they go to church its amazing!

Another awesome story.. So the Magan family; Its been a long time since we've been able to teach them.. There is always so much going on in their family. We were able to catch up to Brother and ride on his Jeep going home one night this week and he said, "Yah! Come over on Sunday!" What ended up happening is they had someone rent their Jeep for the day and Sister had to go so things ended up not working out... But! Guess what!?? Sister said Brother stopped drinking! Miracles truly do happen. Its amazing!! I love this work!

We were able to have Stake Conference yesterday and it was so funny. There were all these Relief Society Sisters from the 2nd Ward talking to me and they were super fun and were like "Elder! You need to be assigned to our ward!" I just thought it was so funny because all the members here are like that to all the missionaries. They'll always say "Elder! You need to be assigned to us!" They're awesome though!

Last night we went to this sister that we were trying to visit earlier in the afternoon but just lost track of time (Just didn't have time...) Her daughter has been wanting to be baptized forever... I mean a long time but she was never allowed. Well Sister's husband passed away about 3 months ago and now sister is truly wondering what happens after we die. She has so many questions but also it is going to be hard to teach her as well. She of course has tons of hurt inside her and is super depressed but from what I could tell she is asking "why do people have to die?" This will be a great experience though to be able to start teaching her though. I pray that she will be content to listen to us and then ask questions after our lessons. I learned that yesterday.. "Let us share our message first and then afterwards ask all that you want."

We had Family Home Evening at Sister DelaBanda's house on Thursday. It was so fun and a great experience for Albert, Honeylyn, and their friend Cherry and her son as well. They were a little bored here because we were waiting to start.

Huge Preying Mantis (Tagatag-a)! He tricks his enemies. He acts as if he's super slow but he is crazy fast!!! He is a sneaky one. He tried to attack me! haha.

Love you all! Have a great week!
