Wow, this week was really great, we are seeing the Lords hand in our work. I am really sad this week because we werent able to baptize anybody :(. I really feel like the Lord is testing my faith, I have never worked harder, or tried harder in something in my life, and yet I am still not able to baptized as many people as I want too here on the mission.
At least there is a lot of hope, and alot of miracles on the way!! We had 11 investagators at church, and most of them are progressing towards baptism.. The end of this month is going to be amazing. There is one man we are teaching named David, he is 20 years old, and really wants to be baptized, he asked me what he needs to do to be a missionary, I told him, be baptized. Ha, so he is already going to be baptized!! What a miracle!!!
I am really happy on the mission, I have set some EXTREMELY high goals for 2010!!! It is awesome to think that for one whole year I am so going to be a missionary, wow what a privillege!!!
I am going to work harder than I have ever worked before. I am ready to work really hard!!!
Thanks for all the prayers, it really makes a huge difference in my mission, I am positive that I have more people praying for me than any other missionary in the field(well me and Mikey) And I know that it really is the biggest difference in my mission, sometimes missionaries ask why I have such "luck" I just tell them that it is the blessings from my family. I love you alll... I love this work.
The greatest experences on my mission happened this week, when I taught the first lesson to 22 people!!!! 20 of the 22 accepted to be baptized in Januray.!! What a HUGE blessing this is!!! I have special permission from the Presdient to teach until 10 oclock at might because we are teaching so many people!!! Things are going awesome!! Please pray for the Santos family, in total there are more than 30 people in there family that live on the same street!!!One of them Danilda is going to be baptized this Sunday, we are hoping the rest will be in the next two and three weeks!!! Pray alot, we are going to need it!!!!
I love you all! Thanks for all the prayers and letters!!
Love ya

HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!!
