My week was really really good. We had two wonderful baptisms. Luciano and Andrea. They decided to get married because of the example of a family member that got married and baptised. A little history really fast. Andrea wanted to be baptised and she told the missionaries in the other area that she wanted to be baptised. So we went to her house and started teaching her. Luciano would always leave whenever we went there. Finally the third time he sat and gave us mean looks when we started to teach. We started teaching and started to direct all the questions to him and we focused the lesson around him. He warmed up almost instantly and was talking with us. We marked a baptism date with them and they were on the right track to go to church sunday. Come sunday what do we find when we pass their house. Luciano was drinking. Sorry was the only word he could muster up. I saw something that moment. He wanted to stop but couldn´t, it´s difficult to stop substances. So we said to him that we would talk the next week. We explained the word of wisdom and he commited. Went the next week to Church and had a great time. Got married (we were the two witnesses) and he stopped drinking. He hasn´t drunk alchohol in 18 days. Truely is a miricle. The day of the baptism, we were running around getting things ready, but it all worked out. It makes me so happy to see how the lord really does change peoples lives for the better. And seeing how he worked the miricle in this family makes me see how great of a family that I have...
As for next week we are going to try to finish off the transfer with some more baptisms. We are just teaching and trying to help others. The missions good, life is great. I´m excited for transfers next week :)
As for the memory that I have of us. I remember me and you always trying to get me to school. We always seemed to be running to catch the bus or get to school on time hahaha. Was great. And the pancakes. That syrup that we used to have was SO SO good. I absolutely loved it!!. Thanks for aways being a good mom and showing me the example.
Good luck, good to hear that the family is great. Love you lots thanks for the support
He lives
