Week 45: Que Onda Guero

HEYYYY EVERYONE! I hope everyone is doing well! We had some great things happen this week and I am excited to share everything with you! This week we had a baptism! His name is Santiago and he is 9 years old. He is FANTASTIC and he knows so much about the Gospel. He really is going to do great things in the future. I know he will be a missionary someday! One really cool thing happened this week. We had Zone Conference and everything went great! I was talking to President Myers after the conference and asked him if he could make a video for one of our investigators. I was thinking that he could make a message for her with something motivating. He told us that he actually had time to work with us and we WENT TOGETHER. It was the craziest best night ever. We taught a super powerful lesson with the investigator and she now has a baptismal date for THIS WEEK BABBBYYYY. It was such a privilege to have our Mission President in a lesson and also very nerve racking. Our investigator said that she now desires to be baptized and that before she was a little skeptical. I am so happy that she made the decision to start preparing for this Saturday!

We had Stake Conference and one of the 70 (leaders of our church) came to speak. His name is Elder Pingree! I actaully had the opportunity to meet him before the Conference. A couple months ago, President selected a few amount of missionaries to have a PRIVATE interview with him when he came to speak to us the first time. I was one of the selected and I got to talk to him! I was so excited to hear that he was coming back to speak to us at Stake Conference. He is a pretty special person. In our interview, we talked about the passage in the bible John 21 and how it has changed my life. I am glad I had the opportunity to see him again. We have many exciting things for the week that are coming up and we can use all the support we can get with the prayers! I love you all!

Giddy up!
