So this week was AWESOME! They family that we have been teaching forever (Rodinei and Maria) got married!!!! (Pictures included) that was on Friday then on Saturday they were BAPTIZED! IT was way awesome, we were able to get a ton of members from the ward to go, and we even got Rodinei to make a super good friendship with the Elders Quorem president his name is Moroni and Moroni baptized Rodinei. And Elder Duarte baptized Maria, which was awesome becasue it was his first time baptizing a person! He did great!
Also I cant remember if Ive already told you about our investigator Paula. She is 21, and one of the members invited her to go to an activity last friday night, it was like a play that the ward did. So she went to that and liked it alot and went to church the next day. Which she also loved and ended up going to a young single adult activity that they had that night at the stake center. Then we taught her for the first time on thursday. It was amazing. We taught her the 1st lesson ( about the restoration) and we invited her to be baptized, she accepted! infact we didnt even get to ask her to be baptized, tward the end of the lesson she just asked " so how does this whole baptism thing work? What do I have to do to be baptized?" It was sweet! So we explained to her about the word of wisdom and the law of chastity and the only problem that she has is with coffee and smoking...Well as of right now she already stopped coffee and yesterday she only smoked 1 ciggerette! whooooo!!!! So then we asked to say a pray to end the lesson and she was like what! already?!? I want too learn more (at this point we had already been teaching her for over an hour) So we taught her about the Plan of Salvation. She loved it. She is going to be baptized on June 13th! We are so excited!
Anyways, I think thats about it!
Thanks for all the love and support!
