I Hate Emails.

Wow, I am going to say that this week was milagroso! Holy crap, have I witnessed the coolest thing ever.


So on Monday, after our pday, we went to Cristin's house. She has been wanting to get baptized but keeps putting off a date for a reason we have no idea why. So we had her 7-year-old daughter offer a prayer. We had her daughter ask the question, "What date should my mom get baptized?" And I felt really strongly on May 22, so I told my companion what I experienced when she was praying. He didn't say anything, but a day later he randomly looked at me and went, "Yeah, I think May 22 is right." So we decided to make the invitation for her baptism before telling her because the Lord already told us May 22, so we weren't even scared at all for her answer. We were looking forward with the eye of faith, knowing that the Lord already promised. So we went to her house on Friday with the invitation to her baptism. We were super excited to talk to her and make it super exciting, and she was like, "Why are you guys so excited today?" So we had a really good lesson and we got to the point about the date and how we felt. We told her that we are going to kneel right now and have her pray about it. So we had her ask, and we finished the prayer. All her arm hairs were sticking up and she had goosebumps, and she looked at us and said, "God said yes." So Cristin will be baptized on Sunday!


The family that we randomly found last week when we got lost down the street, yeah, that family. We went and taught them, and they came to church, which was super cool. I was in sacrament watching them be there for the first time, and I just remember talking to them so randomly. The thought just comes back to my head that God will always put you in the path of those who are ready, or He will put them in your path. Her husband, when we first started talking to him, said he didn't believe in God, and now he's in church and he likes church more than his wife. It's crazy what two visits, the Spirit, an invitation, and a good experience with members can do for people. "I really liked church."


We had transfer calls. I'm staying here and staying with my companion.


I went on an exchange with Elder Nelson and Elder Jager.


I saw Remberto, the guy Elder Christensen baptized my first week here. He came and helped our zone with some service. It was so weird to hear him and actually understand him now and have a real conversation. But it was a blessing to see him again.


The family we were teaching in Arecibo got baptized. I don't know if you remember Sarylu and her kids, but that was also cool to see the power of a seed.
