hey guys!
first of all....happy birthday paige!! wow the big 1-7! haha thats awesome. i hope that youve had a good week. hopefully you were able to eat a bunch of cake and stuff for me hahah.
well for this week...i told you guys that guti and i were thinking about doing a zone fast this week. we didnt end up doing it as a zone, but we were able to do it as a companionship. it was really awesome cause the next day, we went over to silvia´s house. i dont know if you remember her, but she was with a guy who we were teaching with a bunch of kids. she always wanted to get baptized, but was scared to commit herself to get married. but we havent been going over to their house that much in the last couple months. but we went over the other day and she told us that the guy that she had been living with left the house. like she didnt want to be with him anymore, so he took all his stuff and left. so we kept talking and she was actually the one who told us that she felt like it was an answer from God telling her that she needed to be alone with her kids for a while. she said that she thinks that God is giving her the chance to get baptized in the church. like shes always believed that it was the truth, she just didnt want to get married. but it was really cool cause as she was telling us all of that, in my head i was thinking, ¨wow we really need to fast more often. it works really well!¨ hahah. like the Lord has really answered our prayers and blessed us alot in this area. so we´re trying to baptize her the week after general conference...we´re also teaching ezequiel like i told you all. this week we were able to take out a baptismal date with him also. we had put it originally for this saturday, but he wasnt able to go to church this week. so we decided to put it back to the 9th of april, which would be the same day as silvia´s baptism. we´re actually trying to baptize almost all the people that we have baptismal dates that day. its been really tough for us to talk to rosa and her family that last week or 2 cause shes working alot more. but i know that shes gonna be able to get baptized too. shes been able to feel that its the truth.
alright so my birthday was also really awesome this week. i wanted to thank you guys for sending the package also. it was awesome to get. guti and i are enjoying the airheads and everything that it had hahah. but we ended up having a combined birthday thing on sunday cause a lady in the ward had her birthday on the 20th also. so we went over to their house. they made me this huge boca cake. and i thought that it was hilarious cause i was messing around, pretending to lick the cake and stuff and guti totally stuck my face in the cake hahah. i was laughing so hard. i cant send the pictures right now cause we´re kinda late already, but ill try to remember for next week...but all in all it was a really good week.
