Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the father: Ye shall have eternal life. -2 Nephi 31:20

Barcelona week 19 - Nohemy and missionary work

You saw MIKEY TAYLOR in TAIWAN???? What?? Oh man, i didn´t even realize you would be going there! I´m so happy that he´s doing well and going strong. I miss that kid a ton. Valerie and Allyson happy birthday!! Sorry if i had time i wouldve sent you a gift or something. Hope you had a great day and party. Love you bothI wanted to write a quick miracle story about our investigator Nohemy. She´s working on getting married with her husband so that she can live the commandments and get baptized. She understands everything so well and has more desires to get baptized than I´ve ever seen in an investigator before. We´re only visiting her about once a week now, maybe twice, because she cant progress until she gets married. But every single time we visit her, she surprises us more. This last week we went to her house and she had invited her friend, Christie, who was one of our old investigators. We stopped teaching Christie before because she felt pressured and didn´t want to come to church or get baptized. Now Nohemy reads with her in the Book of Mormon and the pamphlets and talks to her about baptism andcoming to church. Nohemy brought her to church a couple of weeks ago and now she wants to come to church every week again. Nohemy is not only sharing it with Christie but with other people from other churches that contact her in the metro or other people that talk to her about the church. She´s already telling everyone she´s Mormon and she loves it. The Lord prepared her so well and she´s so amazing. It´s like people say here that she´s "una miembro seca" (a "dry" member that hasn´t gotten wet in the waters of baptism yet). Once she´s a member she´ll be the most faithful member ever.
This work is true. We´re seeing a lot of trials but I know the Lord is in charge of His work and He´ll make it happen. We´re still working for our 600 baptisms this year. Pray for the mission and pray for our investigators so that we can hit our goal. "Has God ceased to be a God of miracles? I say unto you, NAY." Love you all

Elder Reeves
