merciful and has helped him achieve this goal!

As my title mentions...
7 weeks. 6 p-days.... that's it. You guys. This has been the best year and a
half of my life. I have learned so many things. This week was so much better. I
feel better health and spiritual wise. I feel so up and down with my emotions
recently but the Lord has been with me every step of the way. We are just
seeing little miracles left and right. The Lord has blessed me with the perfect
companion for my last 12 weeks in the mission. I love the way we work together.
She works harder for me because I am ending my mission and I work harder for
her because she is starting her mission.

A few of the members of my
ward...they are awesome!
|
We had a baptism on Saturday.
I totally forgot to tell you guys about a huge miracle that happened when we
got the whole ward a few weeks ago. Remember that I mentioned to you guys about
a lady named Mari? I found her with Sister Canales in February. Well, when we
had transfers and we were taken out of that part of the ward the other
missionaries and her just didn't get along that well. They weren't patient with
each other. Mari fell into deep depression and the other sisters just kind of
let her fall. Well when we got the whole ward we were able to visit her and see
how she was. She had A CHANGE OF HEART. Mari had a hard time with the Book of
Mormon. She said it made her stomach sick every time she read the word Mormon.
Well a member let her borrow another book of the church called Gospel
Principles. She began to read it and she was just looking for all of the
errors. Then she got about halfway and realized that she didn't get anything
out of it. She started to read it again, and read all of the references to
scriptures that it gave and came to a better understanding of all that we
teach. She finished the book and realized that she doesn't feel the way that
she did towards the Book of Mormon.

Last Monday we went to
Centro where you
find a lot of art and historical sites.
The big building you
guys see is called "Palacio de Cortez."
When Cortez came to colonize
the Americas he
stayed in this place for a while... If I am right haha
She began to read it and came to and
understanding that she had been doing everything that God asks us to do HER way
instead of His way. She came to love the Book of Mormon and finally was
baptized. She took is so seriously. After her baptism she just kept saying that
it's a new start and that she just sees up. Her daughter was able to see the
baptism and that was a great support for her. It was truly a miracle. Another
miracle was that Sister Canales called last night to give us a reference and I
was able to give her the great news. She was so happy because the way we found
Mari and how things happened was just a miracle.
 |
Mari was baptized by Elder Smith from
every part of the US
possible. He and his
companion are going home on Friday.
Elder Smith is going
to BYU Idaho in Fall as well.
We aactually will have a Book of Mormon
class
