Hey family, how is everyone?
I'm doing really well!! I love the mish it really is awesome! My spanish is gettin pretty good... some say that i speak as the ticos speak. haha My comp is really cool too, he is way tranquilo and stuff so its cool just chillin with him. He doesnt talk that much usually, but when he gets started he never stops haha.
So this last week we had another baptism, her name is Dayana and shes 13, he dad is a member but her mom isn't. She has been going to young women's activities for like 2 or 3 months and has a lot of friends that are members.. and shes way cool!! We started teaching her last week and she got baptized last Saturday.. it was really fast but was really good too. When we challenged her to get baptised in just a few days she was a little nervous and didn't feel ready. But then we told her that we were gonna ask heavenly father to see what he thought. So we all got down on our knees right then and i asked her to do the prayer and ask him if she needed to get baptized on Saturday at 8 at night, she did it, and received her answer. She asked God that direct question and 5 seconds after saying "amen" and finishing her prayer she began to weep with a huge smile on her face. She then said, "Si", which in Spanish of course means "Yes." She had received a direct answer from god right then and she new it with out a doubt!! When then called her dad and she told him the good news, but he was on a trip for his work and wasn't gonna get back til Monday. but he told her that he'd be there at 8 at night. So we planned the baptism the next day and invited everyone, she was way excited, and her dad was gonna baptise her himself. So Saturday we get there at 8 and all the young women's and young men's were there to support her, it was so awesome!! And her dad got to baptise her!
Here in the zone we were not gonna be able to complete the goal of our baptisms, but we did a prayer as a zone and asked for help to be able to complete it. Our goal as a zone was 3 families, 4 Men, and 10 baptisms in total. We all worked really hard to be able to complete the goal for April. At the end we ended up with 4 families, 4 men, and only 9 baptisms..... SOO CLOOOSE!! We almost did it, but we did our best also.
