Friends and family,
Another amazing week down here in the valley.
Turns out we've been saying Laisha's (Lye-sha) name wrong the whole time haha! But she got baptized this Saturday and it was super amazing! She has so much faith! Because of her example, her younger brother Jesus wants us to teach him and he's getting baptized on October 27th! Her mom also wants to get baptized and join the Spanish ward!!! We met Laisha because she requested a bible on Facebook. It's crazy how clicking a link is changing her entire family's life. I love the gospel!!!
We were teaching this really amazing woman named Corina, but her landlord banned any and all missionaries from coming because him and his wife are a different religion. We call her on the phone and soon will be teaching her again. She's so prepared for the gospel and I love her so much.
Celina is as amazing as ever, and cooks us the best food! I love her tons.
We finally got in contact with Amber again after 3 weeks! Her mom has been really sick which is really hard, but Amber is amazing and so We're gonna keep going by. We've missed her tons these last 3 weeks and it was a miracle her mom opened the door!
Sister Paskett and I are having so much fun together, and we love the area because there is so much work to do!!! We never stop finding people! We're going to have to stop teaching a few who aren't progressing, but we know that God has others who are more ready.
We met some really amazing part member families this past week, Petty's family and also Victor's family. We're really excited to work more with them.
Marissa, Leyla, and Mya, the 3 sisters, are planning on getting baptized this Sunday! We're super excited for them. Their journey has been amazing, and the ward has such good fellowship with them.
The ward amazes me. So many members give so much selfless service. I look up to so many of them! Especially the sweet old relief society ladies that take such good care of the people We're teaching:)
I have the best companion, the best area, the best mission!!! God is so aware of each and every one of us, and I know the gospel is true!!!!!
