We have been SO blessed to have the investigators that we have been lead to. My whole mission has been a struggle with getting people to come to church for many reasons, mostly that they cannot afford to tryke to church. We have truly learned the power that comes through specific prayer and fasting. Sister Camille is going to be baptized on the 7th of feb. we are so excited for her!! She is so amazing. When we taught her the word of wisdom, the spirit was so strong with her that she quite her habits instantly and has not looked back. She is 21 and already talking about when she can serve a mission.
Brother Sixto is another amazing guy! He has gone to every church possible while traveling as a seaman. He, like sister Camille... has committed to the commandments of God with the word of wisdom and many more. Its so neat to teach people who have been searching because they werent settled with other sects. But thats the awesome thing! This church is not a "sect" because it is not sectioned off of anything. It is Jesus Christ's ORIGINAL church, and to see the excitement and willingness of a person who has finally found the truth of the full gospel... its so energizing!
This week has been good but busy. We had one sister have an asthma attack and... we had to go with her to be treated. Its funny because I guess I got so use to what i had to do for my asthma, that it all just came in my mind and we were able to get going again. So... THank you mom for all of the knowledge that is in my brain ;)
There are a few other things that happened this week that i cannot really remember... I got a pretty sweet burn scar from a tryke. I wasnt thinking and reached to grab s. briones' water bottle that fell and got burnt by the muffler. I will take a picture.
How is everyone doing over there though? What are some plans for valentines day? I love you all and miss you all! I will see you soon. :D
