A Week of Milagros‏

Hola! 

I dont have a lot of time to write today, since it isnt really our Pday. 

But anyway. This week was awesome. We did divisions for a couple days which really helped our companionship. I was with an American sister here in Escobar for a couple days and my comp was in Tigre. 

So. Remember Dana? The girl that was baptized about 6 weeks ago that I always talk about? Yeah well when we first started teaching her, we were also teaching her sister, Noelia. And to be honest, she was tough. She was rude to us, and never really wanted to listen. We had dropped her as our investigator because she didnt want to commit to the Word of Wisdom. Then these past couple of weeks shes been expressing interest, and one day we took a leap of faith and invited her to read the Book of Mormon. She did and the next day she told us she felt like the Book of Mormon was "speaking directly to her". So we starting teaching her slowly, and then took another leap of faith and invited her to be baptized... and... she accepted!!! So we started teaching her again and when we got the the word of wisdom part we were super nervous... but she said she would live it without a problem. There were so many complications when it came time for her baptism. She really had to show her faith and desire to follow God, but she did and she was baptized yesterday! She´s amazing. 

Then another miracle. 

This week, with the help of God, we found an investigator named Pablo. Just the way we found him was a miracle. We knocked at his house and waited for like 10 minutes. No one came out so we left. Well we were almost at the end of the street when we heard someone whistle. We turned around and He was standing in the street. We went to talk to him. His parents are members but he was never baptized. Hes super spiritual and open to new ideas. He came with us the next day to our ward christmas party and everyone was SO nice to him. A lot of people knew his family and just made him feel so comfortable. Then he came to church with us the next day and stayed for our baptisms. He´s awesome. And this ward is INCREDIBLE. Ive never been so thankful for members in my life. They were amazing examples to me of welcoming a new face. Something I know I could have done better at and something I want to continue to work on when Im home. Today we´re going to set a date for him to be baptized. Yesterday he kinda hinted that he wanted to be baptized, becuase he asked us "so, people can be baptized at any age?" and then proceeded to say "and is there an age limit to serve a mission?" like... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

The mission. Highs and lows. But its awesome.

And this week is CHRISTMAS. I get to skype my family!!!!! 

I love all of you so much and Im so thankful for your support and letters to me. I hope you all have a wonderful week and Christmas as we remember the birth of the Savior. 

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!

Love,
