Not One but Two Native Companions!!!! Transfers!

Dearest family and friends!

Transfer week! We got a call very late last night saying that Sister Bakker would be leaving and I will be staying with two new companions! Sister Silva and Sister Marinho! I have already met Sister Silva and she is amazing!! I know we are going to have such a great transfer and we'll see lot's of miracles! We will be picking up Sister Marinho on Wednesday and i'm so excited to meet her!

Cristina: We have been working with her about the Sabbath Day for a while.On Saturday we really nailed the importance of Sacrament and why the Sabbath Day is on Sunday. SHE FINALLY CAME TO CHURCH!! Sister Bakker and I were thrilled! She also came to the baptism of the Elder's yesterday, I think she's finally starting to progress and we can work towards baptism.

Ana and Antonio: Ana called us this week and asked us if we could have an emergency meeting, Sister Bakker and I were very worried, but we went over to their house with great faith and prayers in our hearts. Ana told us that she had been thinking and there were some things in the church that she just didn't understand and therefore could not be baptized this weekend. We were sad, but we know that in the Lord's time they will be baptized. We are going to continue to work with them and pray for them. They are truly amazing and I know the Lord has prepared for them. We're going to continue forward in faith.

The Elders had a baptism yesterday and it was incredible! Her name is Alana and she's 17. I had the opportunity to give a talk about baptism, it was super scary! But it was all ok :) I was so happy to see her enter the waters of baptism and continue on the path to live with Heavenly Father. I love seeing people make that sacred covenant. What a blessing it is to have the knowledge of the restored gospel. 

I love you all! Have a good week and remember to read the Book of Mormon! You will find answers to all your questions, doubts, fears, and worries.
