Another transfer under my belt & I'm halfway done with training the second time around. We're a little sad though, Hna Dedrick has decided to go home, so our trio will be down to two. This wasn't a spur of the moment decision, this is something we've been counseling with Hna Dedrick since the beginning. We're sad to see her go, but all is well in Zion!

The End-Start period of a transfer is always an exciting time--a clean slate. A chance to reflect on the good, the bad, and the miracles. & It's nerdy, but I especially love being able to start a new planner. I can best compare it to the thrill of buying school supplies for a new semester. I kind of really like things neat and orderly.

I'm currently most excited about teaching Pedro & Victoria, Brenda & Joaquin, and Nancy! Pedro & Victoria, it's been a while since we started teaching them, they learn at a slower pace. But, we're meeting them more than once a week. Yesterday we invited them to be baptized, and we extended the date ofJune 29th, so we're working with them towards that goal. We were nervous yesterday going in the the lesson because we knew we had to extend that baptismal date. And it was a christmas miracle because Pedro finally prayed! Granted I had to walk him through the steps in the prayer, but it was said. It was simple, but it was one of the most precious prayers I have heard on my mission. The Venturas (senior missionary couple) were there and were able to testify of the gospel and the blessings they've received in a way that Pedro & Victoria were able to understand.

Brenda & Joaquin are a part member family we're working with. Joaquin is a less active member, but they both came to church this Sunday. We made cinnamon rolls and went to their apartment before church. We have invited Brenda to be baptized before, but we just need to extend a specific date, a goal to work towards. 

Nancy is a 21 year old we found in kind of a round-about way. We were trying to find a former investigator who lives right across the street. We ended up knocking her door, but first spoke to her mother who told us we could come back. Nancy answered the door the next time. Nancy was raised catholic, but is currently at a crossroads between paganism and Christianity. The best thing about teaching Nancy is that she really questions things. She really thinks about things. She was raised in Catholic school, and she's a bright girl so she really understands what it is that her religion truly believes. When we first came back for an appointment Nancy had read through the pamphlet and had blue post-it notes with questions on every page, it was such a fun lesson to teach!

We're working hard towards a baptism! It's close, I can feel it, I just don't know where exactly it's going to come from. We will work with faith and we know that Heavenly Father will help us with the rest. 

Te amo times a millz,
