Being Led by the Spirit

Mother, 

As I have explained before I have to fill out forms and that takes a while. And sometimes we don't have time to write our families. But I am trying really hard to find time to write you all. Also the time is takes to write this letter also takes time. But Hey when you are in the service of God you are in the service of your fellow beings. 

This week went really well! We were almost able to reach our goal as a zone of the baptisms for the month. We came short by one!!!

But there are some experiences that I wanted to share with you about last week and this week too! 

Well last week I get a call from a missionary that tells me that his person that was going to get baptized didn't come to church. And something inside me tells me this phrase, "He is in his house" and so I tell him to pass by his house and so they went by and he was there! They brought him to church we went and did a interview with him and yesterday he got baptized! That is crazy right! 

Also yesterday we got a call form a old investigator and he told us that we wants to get baptized. He has some troubles with drinking but has told us that he has not had a drink for 15 days and so today we are going to go by and help him get baptized! 

I am STUDYING The Book of Mormon and there are so many interesting things! I hope to keep discovering more!!!!

Fear Not!

This week has been full of surprises here in my area. I know that the Lord looks after his children and has an endless love for each and every one of us. 

But to start off we found a family that is really amazing. They want to know the things that we are teaching are true. We invited them to come to church.. haha and the funny thing about that is that they live like right in front of the church and guess what.... they didn't come... But they aren't married and need that and all so they will be a nice family for DEC if we can get them to come to church. 

The zone here is really good. The missionaries are excellent and love to work. They never settle for the easy way. They always want to get better and work for what they deserve. I am seeing a shift in the way the zone is working. We are putting more emphasis in the verification that we are doing as a zone. 

Well this week there isn't really much to tell. Only that my comp is dying or in other words he is ending is mission and is really, really wanting to go home. But I am putting firm in the schedule. I am not going to let him rest. I want to help him work till the last day! That is my plan and goal. 

Hope you all are well here is a scripture that I love. 
This week I gained a deep love for the pioneers that crossed those plains to get to the Great Salt Lake. We can't understand what they went through or how they did it but we can thank God that he loves His children and looks after them in their time of need. 

 17 Go thy way and do as I have told you, and fear not thine enemies; for they shall not have power to stop my work.

This family waited for a year to get baptized and then did it!! The guy in the white tie was the first elder to teach them. He already ended his mission but came back
