WE BAPTIZED!!!! Snuck one in to finish off the month!
Her name is Luisa and she is 14. she was coming to church, but had decided not to go anymore and then showed up to church last Sunday for the first time in 3 weeks, so we visited her on Tuesday and she agreed to be baptized last Saturday (well, actually she didn’t agree until Thursday, but only because she wanted to make sure that Dios told her to be baptized on Saturday, so she prayed and received an answer!!!), so we had another miracle! Just like all the rest of the people that have been baptized. Miracles! Gotta love ´em.!

Other story!

So last week a man showed up to church for the first time in his life. He had attended a funeral of a friend in our chapel the week before and a member friend had told min to visit www.mormon.org so he did. He started to have a slight interest in the church and came. He asked what The Book of Mormon was in church so we explained it to him and invited him to have an appointment with us. After much deliberation he accepted. His name is Felipe. It sounds like a normal investigator, but he is a little abnormal. we didn’t really think anything of him, just that he would be a normal guy that we would teach, but he showed up to the appointment with us on Tuesday having read all of this month’s issue of the Liahona, the Restoration of the Gospel pamphlet, and all of The First Book of Nephi, having prayed and asked God if Joseph Smith was a prophet and if The Book of Mormon was true and had already received an answer. His comprehension of the doctrine of Christ is incredible. He didn’t have questions like, "who were the Nephites and the Lamanites?" but, rather, "the brass plates contained up to what point of the bible?" and, "if Lehi was of the lineage of Joseph then were all of the Mayan culture also a part of the house of Israel?"
So he’s a sweet investigator!

Love you guys!!!!! Peace!
