"God did miracles (this week). Monday I was down because of the baptisms that didn't work out. But it turns out a family that we have been teaching have been attending another ward (you have to attend at least 3 times before you can get baptised). I didn't realize that (they were attending a different ward). (Let me just interject here that a ward is simply a group of members that meet at a certain time. So this family was attending church at a different time than La Hermanita was, and she didn't realize it). And the boys told me Monday that they wanted to get baptised this Sunday!!! BLESSING! So, the entire week we went to their house to teach them the lessons. It was a great week. The mother is less active (she's a member of the LDS church but doesn't attend very often) and the husband is investigating as well. This family is AMAZING. I am so incredidably grateful to be a part of their lives right now. I love this family. We went to the temple with them on Saturday. I know the Dad will be baptised next. He just has to stop smoking first, but he will quit. This last week was amazing, teaching this family. We did so many things with them; we played soccer, went to the temple, had a get together after the baptism - they are progressing rapidly, and Diego and Andres got baptised yesterday! They will soon recieve the Priesthood and serve missions someday. This family wants to get sealed in the temple....in one year...at least after the Dad gets baptised. It is my wish to be there and see this family be sealed for time and all eternity (this means that after the family dies and leaves this life, they will still be joined as a family in the next). All the bad things that happen in the mission.....this family has made it so worth it. God is blessing me SO much."
