This week was full of miracles and I am so excited for the upcoming weeks!
We had a lesson with our investigators Benito and Margarita--it was a very good, spiritual lesson--and as we were getting up to leave, Benito looked at us and said, and I quote: "Tengo ganas de bautizarme el 30 de este mes" which means, "I really want to be baptized on the 30th of this month". My companion and I just sat there in a stupor until finally we were able to respond. One of the worst things in the world--we had to tell him that we would have to wait another week so that we would have time to teach him everything, but he still really wants to be baptized the 7th of July! He and his wife come to church every week, they participate, they both have testimonies and they are friends with all of the members. We are going to have a lesson with them tonight and try to convince Margarita to be baptized on the same day and if you could all please say a prayer for her so that she will have her heart softened we would really appreciate it!
We also have another investigator, her name is Sharon Guzman--she is 9 years old and her mom is a returning less active, and she will be baptized the 14th of July, so we should have two baptisms two weeks in a row! Hopefully our other investigator Victoria will be married soon because she wants to be baptized the 21st of July! How insanely awesome would that be to have 3 baptisms 3 weeks in a row!?
In short, I have only one request--please pray for Benito and Margarita Montes, Sharon Guzman, and Victoria Ochoa! They are all so close and and all so ready!
Love you all and hope that you have a great week!
