Bravo-Martinez

Hey all !! Sorry I am out of time because I had to type this whole thing for presidente but HEY we had three baptisms this week yujuuuuuu
Francisca
Pia and
Leonor Bravo-Martinez
were all baptized this Saturday and our experience with them was unbelievably special for us read about it in the paragraph below
sorry if the english sucks but it went through google translator !!  If you speak spanish you can put it back through and see how it comes out, probably easier to understand.

We found the Bravo-Martinez family contacting in a sector where we had not worked much.  They made us go and we met them, the were looking for something to join them more as a family, and they did not go to any church.  They began to go to the chapel, the ALWAYS complied with their commitments to read and pray, the were very well and as the evil always puts the tail, we got a problem that we did not expect.  The father of the family, who shared little with us, told the mother he did not want them to go to church anymore, he was a Catholic forever and thought that the family should not join the church.  We spent a lot of time praying and waiting for Dad to change his point of view.  A few weeks passed and we continued teaching, they continued to fulfill all the commitments. In the end the oldest (Francisca) decided for herself that she was going to be baptized.  We were very happy but fearful at the same time, because we did not know how Dad would react.  Next time, the three girls had decided to be baptized, and the father was happy.  She told us that she had seen the change in the girls and that she was going to be baptized, and moreover she bought a cake for the girls to celebrate the baptism. Father attended the baptism and was very happy, and is progressing little by little.  We are very encouraged to help everyone in this family join the church and see the changes it will make in their lives.  This family was a miracle, and miracles await us every day.  The gospel changes lives and attitudes, and it changes us too.

I love you guys !!!!

Oof

HEY ALL look first off
I'm really sorry that I haven't been planning my emails very well I know it's bad and that I always say I'm sorry but I just always forget but I really do lament
anyways this week was rlll good ! With few exceptions. I've got like six days running with a sick stomach, it's just a virus that is going around Lampa at the moment but I will survive!!
We had some really good lessons this week, a mom came with her family of investigators to church this week with Elder Poulson (Ogden, UT) and that was really fun.  We also did service at an old folks home and man do I love going there and there's one old lady that is SO flirty she just talks it up with all the guys there and kisses them and yells a lot and says DON'T RUN AWAY.
Pray for us because the people here need help and we need yours too!!  I love you guys and keep up the good work.
Hug my mom if you see her

WORK

Well folks this week has been great !!  We have been working a whole lot and finding tons of people, lots of investigators, lots of challenges, lots of faith, let's doooo it !!  We are doing really well and unfortunately we are overloaded with reports to do right now so I guess I will only be able to share a scripture with you guys

y estando en la condición de hombre, se humilló a sí mismo, haciéndose obediente hasta la muerte, y muerte de cruz.
filipenses 2.8 

I found this scripture this week and it helped me understand a little bit better that Christ is our best example of humility, and that we're all just DUUUST in the wind.  Have a great week and keep being yourselves !!  love you guys
