milagros

well this week was a really crazy week. working towards getting this record for the month of may. we started off really bad and was looking to be a record low. but we brain stormed and prayed and started working a little bit with a plan two weeks ago to try and recover. then last week it was all or nothing. and we really saw some big miracles! it was amazing! i had some of the most spiritual experiences i have had in my mission and in my life. i trully know that angles were with us and helping us through our faith and the prayers that took place.

we worked alot in mendoza capital with the zones here and helping them to get people in the water and saw some great miracles take place there. but the really miracle took place as we prayed to know where we should go for the weekend to help. and had a few places picked out and thursday morning it was so clear that we had to go to san juan and work there again. we called the zone leader to tell hima nd he said it would be a waist of time that the people were not going to get baptized. but we went anyway and didnt really care what he said we felt we needed to go. we got there and went a worked for an hour in the mornign and got one person that was not gong to get baptzed committed to being baptized on sunday and they were way happy. then in the afternoon it came and was great!

we felt we needed to go to an area and work with two elders and help them who had two people that were there but did not have the desire to be baptized. and in another area taht roberts went to that also had a couple people to be baptized. i went to one that seemed a little less likely but i felt reallyl good about it and i knew taht miracles were going go come for us and that these people would be baptized.

first we went to theis lady name lidia... she prayed and knew that the book of mormon is true and been to church a couple of times but did not want to get baptized and said no to the elders a number of times and felt no need for it. so we went there and we talked and i told her how i felt we needed to come and talk to her and i told her about the temple prayers an the mission prayers and she called me a liar to my face and said i was jsut trying to obligate her to be baptized. i explained that was not the case and that she could know for her self and stuff. and she knew that god would answer her prayer but not tell her to be baptized this weekend. i testified and it was more powerful then any other tesitmony i feel i have given. i told her and promised her taht god would answer her prayer and tell her to be baptized. that if she had faith it would happen right then and there!!! i promised her as a servant of god that he is ready and listening because i trully felt that way!! we invited her to pray right then and there and she would get her answer if she was to be baptized on sunday. so we knelt down and she prayed and told god she had the desire to be baptized if it was his desire of her. and asked father, do i need to be baptized on sunday........ and she was silent for a few minutes..... and BAM the spriit hit so hard and we all started to cry and she thanked god for the answer and said she would go and be baptized on sunday knowing that was the desire of him. i trully felt the presence of the spirit or angels that were with us in that moment for her to get the answer and to soften her heart to hear and feel it. and she did get baptized yesterday.

after we went to visit another girl of three years investigating. she could not recieve permission from her dad. and the elders never had met the dad. and right as we got infront of the house the dad pulled up in his car to pick her up from the mothers house. and we talked to him and he was against it still. but we some how got him to give permission, and to change days of the week to visit his daughter from saturday and sunday. to monday and tuesday which worked better for the mom anyways. it was way special and lots of tears int hat familiy as well. it was really special. and we saw many more things taht were just amazying this weekend. this week we have lots of meetings to help the missionaries prepare for the new president and it is going to be crazy but i am really excited. we dont get much sleep. last night we were up till 2 30 verifying. but it is a blast and the spirit with president lindahl is amazing!!! i learn so much in our meetings we have with him.

i better get going. but thanks for everything. GOD DOES WORK MIRACLES i have seen so many and felt the spirit so strong in my time here on the mission i cant neglect my testimony that i have recieved. i know he lives and this is HIS work!! have a good week. i love you all. thanks again.

con amor
