Martin Carrera - Best Week Ever

Dear fam... so guess what happened this week! 

Okay honestly I don't know where to even begin... we have seen SO MANY DANG MIRACLES! 

First of all I'M STILL IN MARTIN CARRERA!!! YAY cambios were today but we got to say together and this is now the longest i have ever been in an area! 

Also after I logged off last week, we went to go look for Orfe because she had gotten an answer that baptism isn't for her and so we taught her about the bom and told her to pray again ahah. Anyways Monday, she was like, "Hnas guess what yesterday I was washing my clothes and I heard a voice say... bautizate buatizate ... (get baptized get baptized)"  She said  it was so peaceful and we were like YESSS! and then she said, "But ahh hnas I don't want to what if I don't live up to my promise with heavenly father?"  We all talked about it and yay, She is  doing good and feels more comfortable about her answer so she should be getting baptized pretty soon here! She has almost all her asistinces. THEN Angles who wasn't going to church asked when she could get baptized and she didn't smoke on Wednesday!! so yeah some good things going on here! 

Also Naomi got baptized yesterday and it was so good and she was so happy and luckily she doesn't like hot water because the boiler wasn't working so she didn't have hot water it was more like swimming pool cold but not ice cold. But it was good and her family all came even her dad who is major alcoholic. And all these people showed up to church on Sunday so it was great! Carlos our convert of two weeks brought his mom!!!! WE are gonna go to the CV this week with them. 

Also the best part of it all Elder Oaks came and we all got to shake his hand! He is a funny guy and just super happy! Luckily I got to sing in the choir we sang Battle Hymn of the Republic and oíd el toquen del clarin a spanish hymn.  He shared a really good message with us about the importance of wisdom and how it is different then knowledge and how we have wisdom when we ACT AND APPLY the knowledge that we have. It was cool and he also talked about equality is a tool of the devil because in the plan of Satan he wanted equality ... super interesting. And Elder Piper the area pres here came too and gave a super cool talk about using the godly talent we have. In the last Oct conference, elder Holland talked about elder Pipers daughter Dora in the temple de mex city dedication. Anyways they brought Dora with them and it was the first time she had ever come to something like that. Elder Piper brought her up for his talk and told us how when they were in Russia as mission presidents Dora was one of the best missionaries because she would stand at the door of the church and greet everyone with a hug... but Dora cant talk. He was telling us how she used her godly talents to the best of her ability and I just loved that! Then elder oaks did a question answer and it was just really cool and he is such a humble servant of the Lord. And when he shared his testimony... WOW when he said I KNOW you could feel the spirit so strongly and I truly know that Christ talks with his servants!!!! And that we are so lucky to have a living profeta and apostelas. 

But yeah it was super cool and also fun to see all the old comps. It was especially fun to see hna woodford who is in moctezuma proud to see what an amazing missionary she has become!!! haha motherly love

Also wanna hear something funny that happened this week... this morning we were cleaning and a HUGE RAT ran our of our shower and into the kitchen and it ran over hna motensons foot and we freaked out! so then America our land lady came down in her sports bra and was like hnas what happened and we were like its a RAT... hahah so we were all freaked out and there is America helping us look for a rat in her sports bra and then she brings us poison and she is just a funny lady we love her and we are gonna convert her! Yeah all good things all good things! It was a killer week and we are so blessed to be here in Carrera.  I am glad I have another month here to help these people who I love so much!!!!  THE CHURCH IS TRUE! love you all so much!
