Week 84

Hola Everyone!

What a week it has been! We sure have been working like crazy here in th field and it’s been amazing!! What blessings we have been given as we have worked hard as a companionship and as a mission!

So just to inform you all a little bit, we saw a MIRACLE as a mission this month! So we have been baptizing about 40-60 people every month. Well President Conde gave us a goal as a mission that we could baptize 80 in a month. So we have all been working our tails off to be able to reach the goal. We asked the assistants yesterday how many baptisms we had for the month of March and they told us 117!! WOW. I don’t think there is another word I can say. We felt such such a paz (peace/joy). We started yelling in our apartment when they told us that!!!!!!!!!!

Also we had to change houses and everything this week. We have just been so dang busy here and there were also a few situations we had to deal with here in the zone, but we finished the week strong!! As we finished this change, my companion and I meditated on why we only had 1 baptism because we worked so dang hard. And I remembered the words of Elder Uchtdorf in his message in the March Liahona. He said basically that we may not receive the blessings today, maybe not tomorrow or next week or next year. But for those that are FAITHFUL the blessings WILL come - we might have to wait until heaven, BUT THEY WILL COME!! I KNOW that to be true!

I hope and pray that we can take our questions to conference this weekend with an open heart and I can promise you with all of my heart that you will receive an answer to your doubts or questions or problems, whatever it may be!! I love you all so dang much! Have an amazing week!
