This week was sweeet!! We had another great week down here under the sun, and rain now I guess too. We had some of the biggest storms this week than we´ve seen in a long time. The rain has cooled it off a little, only a little, but it´s still nice.

This week we were walking down a street which we walk on almost every day and had contacted almost every house on this street before. But as we were walking we saw this house which we hadn´t contacted and we felt that we should do it. So we went up and first a few little girls ran outside about the ages of 3 and 8 and then ran back inside really fast to tell the people inside who it was and then came back and told us to come in. When we went inside we waited for a little bit and then this lady came walking around the corner and had kind of a surprised look on her face when she saw us. She told us that her granddaughters had told her that we were kids that came to play with them and that´s why she told them to let us in. So we started talking with her to get to know her a little better and we found out that 2 of her daughters are actually members of the church and she had actually talked with the missionaries before and actually went to church and wanted to get baptized but for some reason the missionaries quit visiting them. But now we´re teaching her again and she´s going to be baptized on the 19th with her granddaughter who is 8!! It was so crazy how everything all went down with it down but we know that everything happens for a reason and that our Father in Heaven lead us to them.

We taught her a couple of times this week and on Saturday she told us that she wasn´t going to be able to come to church yesterday because she had to work but as we were sitting in sacrament meeting her and her daughter and granddaughters all walked in! We were so surprised! Afterwards she told us that late Saturday night her boss called her and said that she didn´t have to work. It was so awesome!! It was so awesome to see the Lord’s hand in everything that has happened with them. We´re going to do a Family home evening with them tonight with some of the other members of the ward. it should be great!

This was just a few of the many miracles which the Lord blessed us with and I know that he is blessing his children all around the world with many more miracles every day! I love this work!

thank you all for your love and prayers
