Hello fam!
CONGRATS JESSICA AND REID!! I think that´s number 3 that has been born since i´ve been gone? That´s a good name, Brynlie! I´m sure her middle name is Ryana or something close to that. Dad, i´m glad everything went well with the surgery and that´s everything´s recovering. Why did you have to get surgery in the first place? sorry missed that part of the story.
The mission is so good. I say this way too much but i seriously love it. I cant believe that some of my friends are already heading home. It scares me. But i´m so glad i´ve still got time and i cant wait to see the miracles that are coming up. We see so many every day i cant even count them. We have 3 people preparing for baptism right now. I´ll let you know what happened with 2 of them...
A week ago, we went to visit our investigator Elizabeth and her 11 year old son André. They had had a date to get baptized before but because of her work schedule, they couldn´t come to church a couple of times and we were´nt able to teach them everything. In the visit, we asked them about baptism and invited them for the 3rd of November. Elizabeth was really unsure about it and didn´t want to commit to the date. We told her to pray about it and ask God if she should get baptized that day. A couple of days later we went back and visited her. We asked her how her prayer went and how she felt. She said "I felt good. I want to keep preparing for baptism on the 3rd." They came to church this last sunday and André even sang and participated in the primary program with the rest of the kids. Prayer is real. God answers prayers. Our other person with a date is Nallely. We contacted her in the metro and she came to the hermana´s baptism in the other ward on saturday and then came to church on sunday. She´s preparing for the 10th.
Nohemy is SO GOOD and she has so many desires to be baptized. The only problem... she´s not married!! That´s the worst part about missionary work here in Spain. About half the people living together aren´t married. Nohemy knows she needs to get married but her husband isn´t too open to it. She´s praying for him so that he´ll change and hopefully that he´ll start accepting us teaching him.
We´re finding new people every day that are prepared. We´re seeing more miracles than I ever thought possible. We have the goal to baptize 600 this year and we´re right at about 400 so we gotta get a move on. I still have complete faith that we´re going to reach our goal as the mission keeps working hard and stays obedient. The Lord and his angels are doing their part preparing people, now we just have to find them and baptize them. I love the mission family. I hope it never ends. I love the people here. And I love you all
