Milagros!

Feb 17

Hello family (why does 'family' look so weird?) and friends if I still have any in the USofA.

So really it is just incredible the miracles that are happening here. Our church attendance is continuing to improve and were nearing 60 which is our next goal. We're trying to jump start Mutual Activities for the young men and young women and also a night for FHE for the young single adults and get another ward activity planned (we're thinking karaoke or talent show). It's been super awesome to see how 2 of the youth here are becoming so involved in the mission work! Christian and Agustina are nearly always accompaning us or the elders and Christian is especialy excited to strengthen the ward and is inviting all his friends and family that aren't members or that are less actives to visit with the missionaries and to come to church and the activities. He'll be baptising his 20 year old friend Ezequiel in the next 2 weeks that we've been teaching. To see how happy it's made him and all the success that he's having it's made me think about why all of us members don't do the same... This gosple brings us so much joy and it brings us so much more when we share it. I spoke in sacrament meeting this week about missionary work and herrmanamiento (cant remember how you say that in english) and it made me reflect a lot on the example that this joven christian is giving. We all know so many people that currently don't have the blessings of the gosple in their lives, and we've all been able to see the miracles that have come in our lives from the gosple, so we should be sharing it with everyone!

So that's my invitation to you all, invite somebody to see the miracles that you've seen from the gosple:)

So our nearly deaf investigator Juan is finally progressing a lot more. He'll be getting baptised this saturday if all continues to go well:) And Ezequiel is getting baptised the 1 of march. And Jòse is close to getting baptised, but he had a relapse with alchohol this week, so we're trying to help him out with that. Really it's been a miracle though to see how the lord prepares people.

So... i might need to buy some new shoes.... if i find some time to do it. My Clarks shoes are basically eating all the dirt now because the sole has un-soled it's self and looks like a large mouth now.

Big news- I finally washed my sheets after 7 weeks of not washing them, this morning! hahah they were super gross.... it's pure dirt here so everything gets super dirty super fast. We don't have a clothes cleaner though and it takes a long time to really wash your stuff well in a bucket. But i finially couldn't stand the smell anymore ahha

well love you all so much! Hope you all are cleaner than me:)
