I hope everyone had a great week.

The last couple weeks have been very exciting. We found some new people who are really golden. We met them tracting. One family is a family of three, a husband, wife and their son. The wife said she saw us knocking on doors and she knew that we would be coming over to their door. The husband looked like he was going to be tough. About half way through our discussion the wife said that she has been thinking that they should be thinking about being active in a church and we happened to come by. The husband had some questions and my companion who is a star with the scriptures answered all the questions he had and backed it up with scripture. The next lesson we had with them I was on an interchange so I wasnt there but Elder Lizama came to me after the interchange and told me it was a miracle. The lesson started with them saying they read and then they asked if we do things like baptism. They said they want to come to church and we invited them to be baptized on the 30th. The husband has some less active members in his family and he invited them to his house to have dinner and try to get them to come back (hes already doing his home teaching). He really amazes me. we were talking about the baptism and he said I really feel like im headed there because I like this church. Im pretty sure hes going to be the next stake president.

We were also blessed to see Raphael and his sister Romina come to church. With them its a little harder to see their interest because theyre more easy going but they keep their commitments. I remember the first lesson we had with Raphael. We asked if we could share a message with him and he said sure why not. Its not what I would consider to be our best lesson, Raphael was watching football and it seemed like we were talking to the wall. I wouldnt of thought that he would be one to read and come to church but he does. We left them with third nephi chapter 11 which talks about the coming of christ to the americas. It also talks about baptism and thats what seemed to catch the attention because when we came back Raphael asked us about baptism and what it means. We hooked him up with a baptismal date and now hes considered a progressing investigator.
It was neat to see the name of our sector in the mission news along with the other sector who met the norma for the amount of progressing investigators but it was truly a blessing to see these people make progress. They are making changes in their lives and I just grateful that the lord allowed me to be a part of that. I didnt do anything, the lord knows his sheep and he knows his work. Im just grateful that he allowed me to see him work.

I hope everyone is having a great week.

I love you all very much.
