Miracles

Hey!!!

Another week has gone by. I swear that they just keep going by faster and faster. Thanks for all your love and support. I really can feel all your prayers in my behalf and I really appreciate it.

So this week I really learned that God is still a God of miracles. A few months ago a friend sent me this scripture in 2 Nephi 27:23. I think I might have already sent this to you but it´s worth sending again, especially since I lived it this week. It says "...I am God and I am a God of miracles and I will show the world that I am the same yesterday, today and forever, but I only work among the children of men, according to their faith" (sorry if i slaughtered that, I had to translate from my spanish scriptures!). This coming Saturday we are going to have a baptism!!! A friend of one of the members is going to get baptized! His name is Juan and he really is a miracle. I really didn´t have faith in him specifically but I had faith in the fact that the Lord was preparing people to accept our message. As of about 3 weeks ago he wanted NOTHING to do with us. But we were presistent and every time we saw him in the house of his friends we taught him the pure and simple truths of the gospel. Mostly about Joseph Smith and how he could know if this message was from God. What an incredible promise! In Preach My Gospel it says that the biggest miracle that we can see in our lives in the miracle of conversion and I definitely know that is true. As we put our faith into action, I know that we can all see miracles in our own lives and know that God loves us and has a

plan for every one of us in this life.

Elder Aidukaitis came and visited the mission this week. Everyone was super scared for him to come but it was so incredible. He is an incredible man. He also challenged us to live worthy enough, work hard enough, and have enough faith that we can see miracles in the mission because miracles are not a given, as the scripture says, they are according to our faith.

This week is the last week of the transfer and then my comp is going home!!!! Wow so crazy how fast time goes by. Ha ha actually all of the last 3 comps that I have had are leaving this transfer. It´s crazy because when I got here they had the same time that I now have and I thought that they were soooo old in the mission! :)

I love you all tons and tons!

Think about you often, pray for you always, and love you forever!
