But then the end of the week was incredible. We had a baptism of Eulalia, a sister of a recent convert who is super incredible. She has an incredible testimony that she bore and also was one of the only people that actually watched all of general conference this week in the ward. Super awesome!!
We also found a new person to teach named Ancha who lives about 3 hours walking from our house, in the middle of what is called the machamba (or super large garden farm thingys) but she is incredible!! She was a member of the muslim church but had a moment when she felt that God was telling her that Jesus really is the Christ and that she needed to make some changes in her life, anyways now she is reading the book of mormon and keeping all of the commitments that we have given her. She also walks to church with her small baby girl every sunday, SOO COOL.
Also we started teaching two new families this week. One of them, the whole family came to general conference to hear the prophet and is progressing super well.
Then last night we had a lesson with a recent married couple who was baptised a little while ago with all of the members of their family, we talked about temple marriage and the blessings that we have received through a family united in the Church of Jesus Cristo dos santos dos ultimos dias. Then we challenged them to find out for themselves if the church is true and all and we challenged them to be baptised, and ..... They all accepted! hahaha it will take a lot of prep but we might see this family united forever and ever through temple ordinances!
I love the work that is happening here. It's incredible, really. I love the fact that we have living apostles and a prophet that are leading and guiding us so that we can better follow the Lord.Love you all and until next week!!!
