Week 51

Hello,

THis week has been a really good week with lots of really good experiences. I will try to hit a few though in this letter. 

Last friday elder egli and i were on exchanges. We had just finished planning for the day and we got phone call from a member in the ward. They told us that there was a member in the hospital who had gone into early labor and needed a blessing before she went into operation. Well of course with the traffic here we did our best to get to the hospital as fast as we could but by the time we got there she had already entered surgery. However we had the chance to talk to her parents while she was in surgery and i was oh so amazed how peaceful and clam her parents were. at one point her dad said to us "Elders i know it is completely up to God now. I have the faith she and the baby can make it through but i know whatever happens is the plan of God." it was such a simple but so powerful statement that kind of struck me. No matter how hard things are some times we always need to remember that God has a perfect plan for us and though it may be hard everything is going to work out. 

Then yesterday i had the chance to go on exchanges again with Elder Garcia. He is a district leader in the zone. We were working in his area. Well while we were walking some one out of no where called out "Elders!" and so we stopped and looked around but saw no one and then we heard again "Elders!" and we saw a women calling for us. So we walked over to and started talking to her and she told us that her husband used to be like us. So of course we asked if we could come in and share a message. we shared a really powerful lesson one and at the end we of course extended the invitations and she just kinda laughed and we asked why and she said legit "Elders ive been coming to church for over five years. I know Joseph smith is a prophet of God" my mouth just dropped. So insane. SO needless to say she now has a baptism date and is elder garcias most progressing investigator ahahaha. 

Loving the life in the mission and loving all the experience. Love you all lots!
