The End!

Hi family!!  I can't believe I am coming home tommorrow!!  It doesn't seem real.  I'm excited to see you all though! This week was..... not so good.  I got really sick Monday night with the flu and then my companion started on Wednesday so we couldn't work all week.  It was not fun.  But the good news is.......................... Juan Caros and Mauricio got baptized and confirmed this weekend!!  It was a great end to the mission.  I am so grateful I got one more chance to see my investigators in white and to feel that joy.  It was awesome!!  Thank you family for all the love and support you have given me these past 18 months.  I couldn't have done it without you.  i have learned and grown so much.  I love being a missionary, I love this gospel, I love this country and I love these people.  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.  Wherefore I conclude this record, declaring that I have written according to the best of my knowledge, by saying that the time passed away llke as it were unto us a dream.  Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth.  Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever.  Amen.

*2 Timothy 4:7, Jacob 7:26, Alma 26:37

We Thank The Oh God for a Prophet!!

Hi family!  I hope you are all doing well! I can tell you are all getting excited!  haha I am excited to see you all too don't worry!  Conference was AMAZING!!!!!  I loved it!  We were so excited all week for it to come! And it came and went way too fast!  I love that we have prophets and apostles!!  I can't wait to get the Ensign!!! 

Well..... Juan Carlos was supposed to get baptized this weekend but he didn't show up!  And then Saturday night we ran into him and he said he wanted to go to conference so we said we would meet at 10:00 to go together and he wasn't there so we called and he said he would meet us there and never came.  I am kind of frustrated with him.  I don't really know what to do now.  He says he wants to get baptized but isn't doing anything to make it happen so we are going to have a talk with him and then wait to see what he does to show that he really wants to do it. 

Mauricio came to conference and liked it!!  He is going to have his baptism interview tonight!  He has a baptism date for this Saturday and we are excited for him!  He is really sweet and humble!  So keep him in your prayers please! 

We really don't have a lot of progressing investigtors right now but we are working hard trying to get a program together so that Hna. Bailey will have something to work with.  I always tell her she is going to be training and I don't want her hija to be bored just contacting all day long because I didn't leave a program behind!  haha 

I can't believe this is my last week in the mission!  It is so crazy how fast time goes by!  But I have loved every single minute and wouldn't change a thing!  Thank you for all of your love and support!  I couldn't have done this without you all!  I love you!!!  Have a great week!!!

To Be Continued..........

Hi family!  Well I don't have a lot of time today, we got our email time cut down to 30 minutes so it will be short... Shorter than normal!  haha Well this week was good!  We were getting all excited for Juan Carlos' baptism, we went by Saturday morning and everything was ready and he was excited! And then we went by to get him for the baptism and he wasn't home so we called and he said that he didn't feel like he was ready, that he wasn't sure and he wanted to wait until next week.  So I told him to come to the chapel and we would talk!  So he can and the district leader and a zone leader talked to him with us and we asked questions, shared scriptures, testimonies and experiences but he still wanted to wait until next week!  So this week he is going to be praying and reading and be ready to be baptized this Saturday!  Which is alright because if that is what will make him feel more comfortable and sure than that is what we are going to do!  So keep him in your prayers please!!  I love you all! Sorry I can't write more.  Have a good week!!!
