We made it

Another transfer is about to come to an end, and another goal achieved. Hahaha we worked super hard this transfer to try and make our goal happen. I came here and we had a goal of three people baptized.... usually pretty reasonable, only thing is that we only had one person to be baptized. We baptize her in the first week and then nothing. But we had faith in the promise of the Lord in Doctrine and Covenants 82 when it says that as we do what god asks he is obliged ( not sure what it says in english actually...) but you get the meaning. We worked, and worked and worked and out of nowhere we were able to get all the people that we needed.

This sunday we baptized Nando. He is an incredible young man that also took on the challenge of Profet Russel M. Nelson to read the Book of Mormon before the end of the year. He got to the baptism an hour early with a friend of his and they read the Book of Mormon together before the baptism. It's incredible the power that this book invites into our lives.

 Also, the sister that we invited to read the Book of Mormon again came to us yesterday and started telling us how different she is feeling about the reading of the Book of Mormon this time.  I told her that it's because she is following the profet.

I sent some pics, besides that, we also celebrated my birthday..... hahaha we made some awesome cake (obviously a cake mix provided by my mom.... haha i don't know how to bake) and some candles (also my mother). But yeah that was the week. A lot of walking, teaching and etc. We are working with a couple to try and help them get married this month. We will let you know how that goes! Love yall!
