January 23, 2012

Well hola again! Hows everyone feeling after the fun "hospital story"? haha no worries, I really havent had any pain at all, and we are just working hard with all these investigators!

I had my first two baptisms yesterday! right after church ended we got everything ready and I baptized a little girl of a menos activo familia, and Elder Alvarez baptized Gabriel, the 18 year old that I have been working with my whole time here in peña Blanca! It was FANTASTIC to see them have this event and thaty I could be part of it! oh, and whats that? I have a broken finger, how did I baptize? well, I just used my magical *bur dur dur dur*glove! kept my hand dry and I just was careful! all was well! and luckily my first time in spanish and no problems! yes! haha it was awesome!

The really crazy thing that happened though was during church. We have one investigator who has been with us for a long time! but he doesnt understand why we need to pay tithing, but something clicked and the bishop talked with him yesterday and then found us and said " call the zone leaders, we need to go have a baptismal interview" HOLY COW! just like that, we made sure our other 5 investigators had a class and then we were off! whenwe got there The zone leaders were like jumping with excitement and they did their interview. In the mean time we waited and talked with the Bishop, and it was just crazy how on such an instant prompting of the bishop, we went and in the end, HE PASSED the interview! YAYAYAY! So now we have 2 more baptisms planned for this next sunday! It was crazy! so we should have 4 baptisms in the month of january! and we are working hard with the other investigators to progress for their baptisms too! haha The really crazy thing, we were going to be shy a baptism for our zone goals, but this investigator that was a surprise will bring us up and we should be able to lograr our goal for january! It just comes to show how the lord is really always aware of what we are doing and if we will be persistent with our part and do all we need to, he will bless us! The power of prayer is miraculous! now we just gotta keep praying so that all this can llevar a cabo! (come to pass, or happen) wooo hoo!

Well I dont really have much more time, but yes, a week of MORE MIRACLES! That just seems to be the life as a missionary, and I am just loving it! I love you all! take care!

Elder Marvin =D
