Hey Family
The week went great, its getting hotter and hotter each day. 93.5 last night in our room, but the work is still moving right along, we see miracles each day.
I think the biggest miracle we saw this week is with our 2 favorite investigators sister Joy and sister Vilma. They really really enjoy church, they are extremely smart. but their knowledge has kept them from really humbling themselves, getting on their knees and asking god if these things are true. We had a really great lesson on Tuesday, and when we came back, sister Vilma had done it. She felt it, and she read all of 1st Nephi as a result, but sister Joy, she didn't seem to get it, she hadn't put these things first in her life yet, so we challenged her again, we came back Saturday night and she still didnt seem sure, we invited them to church and they came again, they've come quite often, and seem to enjoy it, they went to general conference, everything seems to make sense in their heads, but Joy was still lacking that witness from god that these things are true. Yesterday in our gospel principles class we discussed faith in Jesus Christ. It was a really great lesson on how every action we take in this life reflects our faith in god, and the blessings promised from righteous living. The spirit was there, and we had sister Joy say the prayer in the end. She began and then stopped, we waited with our heads bowed and heard her through tears ask god clearly if these things are true, she asked for forgiveness for her sins, and committed herself within her prayer to strive to do what was pleasing to him. It was a very special moment to see this individual make such a step, to humble herself enough to ask and I know that she now knows from no other power but god of the truthfulness of these things.
We tracted alot this week and found many more souls that the Lord has prepared, I know hes prepared them in all of our lives, there are people waiting to hear these things, and I know that the work will continue until everyone has heard it, We have Lances Baptism coming up on the 17th. and Joy and Vilma we hope on the 24th. There is so much good happening in a place that 12 weeks ago hadnt experienced a baptism in a year and a half. Its amazing what the Lord can help you become as you make yourself something he can work with. Im thankful for the growth we've seen.
Love you all
