haha sooooooooo About the Soto family, they told me that they wrote you a whole huge message and you havnet responded?? idk haha maybe you write them? hahaha
THats nuts that Melissa Devitt got married!! didnt she just barely get home!? time time time just doesnt exist anymore!!! year and about the Family Missionary Plan, thats sweet that you guys are doing that really though that is super important! Down here.....there isnt much help from the ward.....but we have like 2 families that always help us with familynights and with coming to lessons but really though you guys need to take advantage of the opportunity to work with the missionaries!!
About baptism dates, we got a nother one this week to put it at 5 with dates! from 4 different families. ill explain a little about each of them, first of all there is Helen Bustos for April 19th, she is 15 years old and her whole family is members and she was baptized when she was 8 but all the records of her baptism dont exist and there arent anyone who could testify of the baptism so she has to be rebaptized...kinda rough but it is what it is....
secondly there is Tatiana Castillo for May 3th, she is 35 and is a single mother of 3 children that are severely handicapped and lives with her mom and dad so she can work and they can take care of her kids, she is coming to church and really wants to learn more about how she can change her life and "start over" and so we are helping her out with that and is progressing great!:)
Thirdly, Victor Silva for April 26th, He is 74 years old and when we found him 2 weeks ago he was completely athiest....but after visiting with him twice he kinda had a beleif of god and we invited him to church and he came the last two weeks, and he LOVES it!! and he really wants to be baptized but wants to feel worthy to recieve that high of an honor! hes a GEM!
Lastly, Karina Maldonado for April 26th and her husband Ricardo Alarcon for May 3th, We found her completely drunk on the side of the road and didnt think much of it then the next day recieved a referance for her husband then the next day a reference for her so we figured that we kind of need to try and visit them and turns out they are golden! karina gave up drinking cold turky and ricardo is almost completely sober and karina came to church sunday and loved it! they are the sweetest!
and one thing that was kinda cool was all of them came to church yesterday and i decided we should have a little meeting with just them afterwards and had a little testimony meeting and that helped them feel not alone and each of them have even more of a desire to change and become better!! was incredible!!
Everything as far as work is going incredible and our days are just FLYING by because litterally every hour of the day is jam packed with fixed apointments and i absolutely love it!!!:)
Thank you so much for everything:)
Love you guys:)
