Fantastic Week!

Dear Friends and Family,

What a week!!! I absolutely love the work of the Lord and I know that when we work diligently we will see miracles! And we sure did!! :)

Monday: We taught an x-investigator with a member. Her name is Gabi and she wants to know more about the church, but her boyfriend doesn't want to have anything to do with church. So we are praying super hard for his heart to be opened and hopefully we'll meet with them again this week.

Tuesday: Today was really rough. Elida, our investigator that was marked to be baptized this weekend dropped us because we woke up her daughter when we tried to pick her up for church. We felt really bad, but I know she'll receive the gospel later. She really is a great lady who has so much potential!! 

Wednesday: We had a division with the Sister Training Leaders today!! I got to be with Sister Cullimore, who is awesome!! When you're with the Sister Training Leaders, awesome things happen. We taught several lessons and the spirit was so strong!! We taught a couple, Antonio and Ana who were at church last Sunday and it was awesome! They are so interested in the church and I hope they get baptized soon! The only problem is is that they are not yet married.. So hopefully we'll have a wedding soon!! :)

Thursday: BEST. DAY. EVER. Sister Bakker and I were walking down the street and a man, named Mathew from England, came up to us and said "wow! girl mormon preachers! I've never seen that before!" So we talked to him and found out that he used to be a Jehovas witness, he is searching for the truth, he had looked at so many different christian religions, and none of them felt super right. So we gave him the first lesson right then and there and the whole time he just kept saying "ya, that makes sense." So we challenged him to be baptized. And at first, he said "I won't make any promises right now, I have to read the Book of Mormon first, but I'll think about it." So we invited him to hold the Book of Mormon in his hands and ask God with a sincere heart if this book was true. So he did, and after we asked him how he felt and he said "This feels good. I can't really describe it, but I feel like this is right. Ya. Ok. I'll get baptized on the 26 of April." AAAHHH!!!! I was so excited for him!! He had been searching for the truth and he found it!!! 

Friday: Today we had a branch activity! and Mathew came as well as Antonio and Ana!! They had such a great time and got to know the members really well! They are being accepted into the ward so well! I'm so excited for them! :)

Saturday: We had an English class and we had a lady show up that we had contacted in the road who said she wanted nothing to do with church, but she'd come to the English class. After the class she started asking a million questions about our church and what we believe and now she wants to come to Sacrament Meeting! What a miracle! 

Sunday: We had 4 investigators in church! Mathew, Antonio, Ana, and Daniel. We've been teaching Daniel this past week and he's a little hesitant about the gospel, but he's willing to try it. I hope he progresses and comes to know that this is the true church. We also had a big dinner with a ton of the members! Our branch is really getting so strong and I'm so excited!

I love this work and I know that when we put our trust in God and when we consecrate ourselves to Him. We will see miracles and be blessed immensely! What a wonderful work this is! :) 

Until next week!
