So this week has been an amazing blur..... ive seen some crazy blessings and miracles. to start off i gave 4 blessings in spanish this week yeah it was rough. but good practice and i love to do it.!! one of the blessing my First was with the bishop for his son(investigator) and wife who were sick. fun fact it was his first time giving a blessing too hahahahah so it sorta calmed my nerves!! and the other blessing was for a husband and wife who are investigators and they just felt the devil in their lives and asked us to help so we gave them blessings. it was really beautiful we were all pretty teared up afterword haha. 

so the son of the bishop isnt a member and hes a KILLER kid hes 17 HUGE and his name matius. but hes what we call SALAMI!!! which means he doesn't really want to progress. he goes to church every sunday even the ones when his fam doesn't go and hes at every activity we have with the youth but he just AH SALAMI!! so ive been praying for him and that he´ll want to progress and be baptized. so yesterday we are talking with him and he tells me that he had a dream where snakes were banging on his door so many that he had to push it closed with all of his energy and when the snakes left he opened the door looked in his front yard and me and my comp were there then pure water began to come from the ground and stopped at his waist...... so we talked it out with him snakes=sin water= baptism plain and straight and he wants to be baptized.... MIRACLE

oh and fun fact I BAPTIZED YESTERDAY

her names beatris ramona moshano and shes amazing ! we found her while contacting on tuesday and baptized her sunday. its amazing wednsday after a lesson she told us about a dream she had the night before where Jesus Christ literally came to her and said come to to me... shes got such faith seriously its amazing. it was crazy so sunday after church we were hanging with some members for lunch and i just felt off something just didn't feel right. so i look at my comp and he looks at me and says we need to go to beatises house right now. so we did and when we got there she was a PIPING HOT MESS she had just got into an argument with her family about the church and why she was being baptized. so we talk it out with her and she literally went from i don't want to be baptized to slamming her hands on the table and telling us i want baptism ! 

so i was super freaked out when my comp told me i was baptizing her!!! because the prayer in Spanish has some pretty rough words and NOBODY BAPTIZES THEIR 5th WEEK!!! so i study and study!!! and as soon as i step in the water i forgot  it all......... so a few seconds go by in awkward silence and then all the sudden Spanish starts coming outta my mouth... and as soon as she came up out of the water it was just beautiful... i don't even have words for the feeling... it was by far the most spiritual experience ive ever had and ill cherish it forever.... 

i hope all is well back home all love you all to death!!! BE SAFE AND BE GOOD!!!!!
