This week not much happened but we spent a lot of time working with our 5 fechas that we have right now and are really hoping for awesome results this next week. We are planning to have a baptism this week, 2 baptisms the 19th of May, and 2 more on the 26th of May. I am looking forward to these next three weeks that are coming up and the fechas we have right now. This week I had a really awesome experience where I felt the Spirit so strong was in the capilla ayer. One of our compromisos this week was to bring one of our investigators to the pila bautismal and try to put a fecha with him right there in the pila. With one of our investigators se llama Kevin, he is 17 years old we brought him to the pila and intended to put a fecha with him. We have intended to put a fecha with Kevin for a good 3 weeks now but he keeps telling us that he doesn´t feel ready yet. We felt the need to bring him to the pila and we did and he acepted a fecha bautismal!!!!! I was so excited because he literally answered us without thinking and after mucha oracion y ayuno he acepted to be baptized and his fecha is for this Saturday. I am so looking forward to it as I have worked with Kevin for quite a while now too. Literally I know that this is the Lord´s work and he is preparing people to enter the waters of baptism. As missionaries we are only the guide to waters of baptism and perseverar hasta el fin.
This week we had zone conference and it was a good spiritual experiencia. I invited my conversos to the conference to compartir their testimonies in front of the other missionaries. One of my conversas started to share her testimony and I felt the spirit so strong because she talked about the first time that she met Elder May and I and how she thought we were crazy and what we were teaching was so wrong. She said that she decided to give us a chance though and began to go to church and involved herself in actividades. She began to like the Iglesia more and more and she began to give us more of a chance and listened to us more. I remember when she told us that she didn´t believe in the Book of Mormon and didn´t want to read it anymore and didn´t even want to touch the book because she only believed en la Biblia. To see that she is a member and to see her sharing her testimony of all this made me so happy. She even said to all the misioneros that she remembers when the Guerrito that being me showing up to her house and I understood nothing he said hahahhahah. She goes I don´t know how he did it but his Spanish is really good for only 4 months hahah. It made me laugh because I remember always having to repeat what I said or May had to say it because she didn´t understand me. I love this work to see the Lord´s work in progress and all that he does for us here in la tierra. I give thanks everyday for the oportunidad to Preach his gospel!
This week we started to teach un Hno se llama Oscar. Oscar just got out of jail and really wants a change in his life. The first lesson we had with him I could really feel his desire to change and to be better. I could feel the love that our Heavenly Father has for him even though he just got out of jail and they track everywhere he goes. We taught 2 lessons to him this week and I really enjoy teaching him and seeing his willigness to change. It is so awesome I have really developed a love for these people and the oportunidad to teach everyday and help others to come unto Christ!
Today we went bowling with a lot of missionaries! It was a good time and shoutout to Elder Clark for bowling a 210 hahah! It was a good time! Hope all is well back home and have a great week and awesome Mothers Day! Thanks to all the Moms out there and all that you do for your kids! We are truly grateful for you!
