Hey family!!! Love ya'll

This week was good and also one of the lowest number weeks i have had...hahah but we also had a baptism!!! Arnoldo got baptized yesterday!!! it was so great how it all came together perfectly. On wednesday we had a baptismal interview set up with president burton (it had to be one of the presidents because of the legal stand point) and he ending up not being able to with about 30 mins before the interview...we were pretty scared haha then we called president riggs and told him what was happening and he was able to come at 8 at night. it was such a miracle that he could come because he only had free time at that moment! God helped so much. then yesterday at his baptism he changed into his white baptismal clothes and walks out and his mom laughs at him haha it was really funny but he got embarrassed then said he didn't want to get baptized ha, but we talked to him and calmed him down. a lot of people came and before it all started he asked us to see if there would be much people who came because he didn't want it too big but a lot came anyway hah! i'm so proud of him and his desire to change. now all we gotta do is strengthen and help him stay on the right path. it was great!!!

pretty cool miracle happened yesterday as well. before the baptism we were knocking and trying to find more people. we were walking and we weren't sure where to go, so we prayed and we felt we should go all the way to the end of the complex. so we go and knock the whole building...nothing ha! so we start walking back and on the way back we look over and see 2 little girls whose family we are teaching and they told us they moved there!!! then later thinking about that we thought what a miracle! because we could have lost contact with that great family! because they didn't tell us they moved. and we never would have found them by ourselves! it was a cool experience!

then on this past wednesday we had our whole mission conference a couple people talked then they had cafe rio cater and we were all able to say our goodbyes to the missionaries that are now part of the richmond mission. it was really good that they decided to hold that conference so we could all see our friends one last time on our missions! it was great!

but this week we had very few lessons and lots of people saying no...our numbers were very low ha...it was pretty disappointing but we tried our best and never gave up and that's what matters!

well i sure love ya'll!

con mucho amor,
