Today, While the Sun Shines

So this week has been great! It has been super sunny and we have been a little sunburned, but happier as ever. We have found so many new investigators, so many that our zone leaders asked us what we have been doing becasue they want us to train the zone! I am so happy with the work we were able to do this week :)

We were in a motokar this week and the roads have been horrible and there was a giant mound of dirt in the middle of the road blocking our path and isntead of turning around to find another way the motokarista went straight over in and almost tipped us over. I was a little terrified but we made it out alive! Im glad we didnt get hurt... I have learned to be more careful choosing a motokar to go it!

We found an adorable sister named Fidelia who is going to be baptised this Saturday. She has been coming to church for years, but she isnt baptised! She started coming one day and everyone thought that she was a member but it turns out she hasnt been baptised so we are going to baptise her! I am so happy that she will finally get baptised and recieve this saving ordinance. 

We were contancting and we walked by a house and I had the hymn famillies can be together forever pop into my head and we decided to knock on the door and sure enough an adorable family opened the door and we are now teaching them! They have accepted baptism and will be baptised in May! All we have to do is help them prepare and come to church. Their names are Hani and Armando and they have so much excitement about the gospel. I am so happy that God led us to them. 

We are also teaching a man named Osler. Its the future stepdad of my recent convert Junior!! Osler had a dream six months ago that he wasnt prepared to meet god and he prayed so that his family could accept the wordof god in their home and sure enough we baptised junior and now Osler is getting married and baptised in May as well. I am so excited for him and for his whole family. I know that god prepared Osler so that he could accept the gospel at this time and I know we were guided to find him as well. 

I have loved the work this week and I cant believe that we have accomplished so much! We are going to baptise! I just know it! We just have to keep working hard to prepare them :) I know that this gospel is true. I know that God has a plan and I know without a doubt that He prepares His children to recieve this restored gospel. I am so happy to be a missionary!

I hope you all have a fantastic week and look for ways to share the gospel!! I also want to hear your experiences!
