Hi family (:
Lets start with a few miracles. On Tuesday we had a full day planned but people started canceling on us in the morning so we were a little bummed. But we decided lets go visit one investigator that we have been meaning to visit but she is never home. So we went. We got there and there was a little kid outside and we recognized that she is the daughter of a recent convert. We were kind of confused but the investigator let us in and two of our recent converts were there. We had no idea that they even knew each other but it was so awesome! Then they helped us teach the lesson and told her just come to church with us one time. They testified of José Smith and how they recieved the answer that he was a profeta. It was really great! Also we got there and the investigator was like oh we were just about to drink some coffee. We were like what….. but then the recent convert said oh do you have fresco because I don't drink coffee anymore. It was like the best payday to see that she was sharing the gospel and that her testimony has grown SO much! I love being able to see the hand of the Lord and the change that happens in peoples lives thanks to the gospel.
Also we have another investigator who was a refrence of a recent convert. She is really great and her daughter too but we have never been able to get them to come to church. This week she told us no matter what happens she was going to come to church. So on Sunday we called the member and she said that everything was good for them to come. We got to church and there they were waiting for us! It was so great to see them there. And that the member brought them so we didn't have to worry about anything. Then we were in the gospel principles class and the teacher asked her how she felt when we visited her and she said I just feel so much peace when ever I hear anything about the church. She said to a member after church was over that "I have been to a lot of churches but this is the one that fits me. I just feel like it answers all my questions and I just know it is for me." We taught a lesson after the meetings and we were talking a little bit about the Holy Ghost and how it helps us make choices. She said so really soon I will get then when I am baptized right? We were like Yes (:
Yesterday we went to a members house and she helped us make some skirts. They turned out pretty cute. (: We only made one each but tomorrow we are going to get the other ones that she made for us. I really love the members here in Cartago so much! It is so weird how you can love people so much! The Bishop here is so great! We didn't really know him before but my companion and I decided we needed to do something to let him know we are here to work.
So we went and visited him one day and asked him who he wanted us to visit and he gave us a bunch of refrences! One of them is a family that is inactive. So we went to visit them and we found out that they have 3 grandkids who are not baptized. So yesterday we went to visit them with the Bishop and he told them so when are you going to get baptized. We have some time this Sunday if you want to. The kid said I think I can this week. Obviously they have to wait a little to prepare but the Bishop was so great to come with us and help us invite the family to church and to be baptized. It was really great!
Also this week we had 40 lessons (: that has never happened in all of my misison! We were so happy! Usually we have like 30- 35 but this week we have been working a lot more effeciently and we had lot of members that wanted to come with us. So we really had a great week!
I love being here and I love being a missionary so much! I can't believe how fast the time goes! It has gone way to fast! Well I love you all family! I hope you have a good week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRANT!!!!
And I am hoping for a whole bunch of pictures the next few weeks when everyone is together. You should probably have a party for my birthday at least by a chocolate Pie to remember me (: haha Love you guys!
What a great week! We have really just had so many miracles this week and the Lord is working so hard here in Cartago!

And her daughter who is 12 didn't really want to come to church but she came and LOVED IT. She said oh I have to go to mutual on saturday and I need to start my personal progress. It was so great to see how much they have already started changing!
