THREE HUGE MIRACLES

This week has been great! To start off Elder Perez and I will be staying together! I am really excited because we still have so much work together to do in this area! I am a little nervous though because three transfers is a pretty long time but I love Elder Perez so much! We have been having so much fun together but we still get tons of work done! 

There were three huge miracles that we have had this week though! The first is that this week we were over at the Guzman family's house and the Grandpa is active and the grandma is just reactivated and this week we had a lesson with them. The Parents are less active and their son just barely turned 9. We have been working with them so hard to return ever since I have been in this area! We have tried everything and we finally found the answer this week! It's a pretty direct answer so when I write you a letter I will share more about the experience with you! But anyways this family is on fire right now! They are inviting us in now an extra time a week and the son Steve has a baptismal date for the 29th.  They came to institute/mutual and everything this week and also to church! We are so excited for them because they are stepping up so big right now!

The second miracle this week was we have been working with the Huicochea family since I have been here and so the grandma in the family is named Hermana Velez and she is a member! So Karina is the mom and she has the strongest testimony of the church the only thing is that her husband is against everything. She has been trying to talk to him about letting her come and everything and take the lessons but she is scared something was going to happen. This week on Wednesday when we were in district meeting I just felt like we needed to offer her a priesthood blessing and so we went and we had an amazing lesson and then we invited her to receive the blessing and when we put our hands on her head and I said he name I just started crying. It was by far one of the most spiritual moments in my mission! After we walked out Elder Perez and I just looked at each other and we were just like I promise I wasn't crying just sweating out of eyes and we were laughing so hard but the lesson was just so amazing!! I felt how much the Lord has for her that day! Then she came to church with her 2 daughters yesterday and I was so happy!! It was so amazing!!

The last one was that there was a baptism yesterday in Chicago 4 so I got to go up there and see all of the members! I loved it and was so happy to see Flor get baptized and then we got to help in the confirmation! Elder Lee got to baptize her! I don't have the pictures right now so I will send them next week! 

I am so sorry to hear about Grandpa but everything will be okay. It's kind of crazy because we always testify of the plan of salvation but it has never been so real yet because nobody close has really passed away but it just makes the joy of the gospel that much sweeter! I just am loving the people here and this Gospel.

I love you more than anything though mom! I hope you have a great day!
