We had a really packed week, which made it go by quite fast. Had a couple exchanges with other missionaries, went to the temple (for the last time on my mission :( sad) and we had a baptism on Sunday! Kevin, our Domincan miracle guy got baptized and had a great day. He´s got a funny personality, just LOVES to speak english to everybody, even if they don´t speak english, so Kayla that´s why you got that one message from him haha--his real name is Narciso, or Narcy. He´s going to be in New York for a couple months here shortly and has said something about wanting to visit us there haha. We´ll see, we´re going to stay in good contact by email until I get home then I can talk more with him. I hope he can stay active while he´s there (he´ll be living with his sister and her family who are all members in NY actually).
Another miracle was having a great lesson with a new family, the parents names are Alberto and Marisela. Albert´s uncle is a strong member of the church here, and somehow we were just at the right place at the right time and got their number and an apt. to meet at their house. Found out later that that was the first time missionaries had ever been at the house. They fed us some amazing Ecuadorian food, then we had a really spiritual lessons based on the scriptures, namely the BOM, and how they can have a Christ centered home. They loved it! Then Alberto and Marisela were both so focused and attentive, and their two cute little kids were surprisingly very attentive as well. We´ll be meeting with them this Thursday and hopefully be able to see a big progression in their desire to learn more and progression.
Sacrament meeting continues to be pretty loud with all of the kids running around constantly and throwing things around. I just have to close my eyes and pretend like I´m not seeing it, or else I start having hernias.
Our other really great investigator, Jesus, is now on a trip to Holland for a couple weeks, and when he get´s back he´s getting baptized. We´re really excited for him, he´s doing really really good.
I love you all, never doubt that the Lord can do anything through his soft but powerful Spirit. I´ve seen so many miracles come from following that subtle guidance, and hope you all can feel it too.
Love you all so much!
