July 13th

 
Okay so I don´t really feel like its mine, but we had a baptism yesterday! B.. is the 11 year old son of a less active family that we all visit (and by we all I really mean we ALL! All of the missionaries here in Fuen visit them!) and the parents have been coming back and he decided he really wanted to be baptized, so this week his father went and met with the bishop, got things cleared up and was able to baptize his son yesterday after church! It was a beautiful service and he was REALLY prepared for this. Group baptism I guess?
Cool miracle this week, we have a lot of youth and young adults that LOVE to come out with us and so we had brought Er.., a less active 17 year old who just moved here from Paraguay 3 months ago, to a cita and he decided to come around with us the rest of the night so we were looking up some names on our ward list that neither of us know when we went to the home of AB. The door opens and a teenage boy about 13 years old answers the door and goes, "Er..?!" Turns out that they play futbol together and know each other from that and so thanks to Er.., we got into the door and Is,, (the boy) wants to come to activities! The next day we had a cita and we went back with J.., that mini missionary who is preparing to go, and it turns out that AB LOVES J.. and his family and she wants us to come back and do an FHE with him and his family! So many cool miracles happening around here thanks to the members wanting to get involved in missionary work!

RANDOM THINGS
 Hmm not too many funny stories this week, we had zone conferences this week so it was so much fun seeing all my friends and catching up. Our mission´s new vision is Dos Veces en Blanco (baptism and endowment) so we all wore white to the conference.
My favorite thing about our area? I like being close the office cause we can get supplies fast, always see other missionaries and I have spent my entire mission with one of the office elders, Elder B.., so its fun talking to them cause he´s like my brother (we have only had 2 transfers apart from each other... its getting kinda ridiculous actually!) The comp is great, she is so funny and patient. She even runs with me in the mornings! Love you katie!
One interesting tip for gospel study is somethign elder richard g scott said, when you receive an answer, right it down, ponder it, then go back and ask what more, and keep repeating. If the windows of revelation are already open, why not keep asking and not close them ourselves? I thought that was interesting.
Remember how you felt leaving efy, cause thats how it feels leaving an area. You have grown to love these people so much and seen them grow so much and then you have to leave and don´t know if you´ll ever see them again. its heartbreaking.
My scripture for you is JAmes 1:7- Christ is alwasy patiently waiting for us, with His hand outstretched, just waiting for us to come unto Him. Usually when I read scriptures about fruit and vineyards, I think of the wicked people getting cast out and its a heartless sort of thing but this really stuck out to me: WE ARE ALL HIS PRECIOUS FRUIT. He desires all of us to come unto Him and does not take pleasure in having to cut out the wild fruit. Help Him bring all his precious fruit home!
I love you all so much and hope you have a great week1 LOV EYOU!!!!!!!!
