this week has been filled with blessings and testimony building events. we have been striving to contribute to our mssion goal by doing our part we have a couple baptismal dates planned for the end of this month, I am so excited for them and their progression. we had two really cool experiences this week actually countless but the first one we got this member refferal and so the very next night we went and blessed their home, I could feel the spirit so strong we left them after making a return appt. and they were so excited to have us back we taught them the restoration on our next visit and they ate it up as if they were starving for the truth the husband alex was asking us during the lesson the same question that joseph smith as well as many have had, we excitedley taught them and introduced the book of mormon to them. the wife who had been pretty quite yet receptive opened up to us and told us about a dream she had a few nights ago. it was about her neighbor the one who reffered the family and she had offered her a bible but this one was different, she said she didn't recognize the book til we pulled it out and gave it to her, she quickly said thats the book!! another family we found while harvesting the same street was excited as we blessed their home, in our first lesson the wife told us the day we knocked on her door she had been praying to find a church and not just any church but the true church. I was so excited as we asked both of these families to be baptized and they readily accepted. Another cool event happened as well we were teaching the 17 year old son of our recent converts we watched the testaments to help them understand a little more about christ coming to the americas. Maria told us for the last 3 nights as she has knelt in prayer she saw the very same image as the one on the movie of christ coming down in a pillar of light. I just know that was a strong testimony and it was awesome for her son to hear her testimony. I know that through obedience we have found these wonderful families and i feel so blessed to be an intrument in helping them come unto christ and finding the truth!!
Transfers are tomorrow and the two elders we live with are being transferred and their are white washed they were execting maybe one of them to leave but not both!!!! me and elder lamb are both staying in our are which i was excited about as well expected to happen. we have some awesome families coming up and im just getting used to this awesome are and wonderful ward!!! our recent converts are doing great they come and are still active!! the couple we baptized we still visit several times a week teaching their 17 year old son ramon has only been in the states a couple months speaks no english works fulll time to help support the family and has zero education but is just a solid kid he reminds a lot of Bailey in some ways just a big kid with a kind heart, everytime we teach him we have to go wake him up haha!!
