MILAGROS!! [Letter 63]

Well my dear family I will start off with the okay news. I´m moving to Dos Hermanas. te he. yes there are dos hermanas in Dos Hermanas. My new companion will be Hermana Ramesey. She has been in the feild for 3 or 4 months. So it will be fun to learn from her. She served state side for a time before coming here. I am excited to get to know her and a new area of Spain. I will be changing my stake for the first time so there is a lot of new stuff to learn. Culture wise as well. The people from Málaga have a rivalry with those of Sevilla although they are all Andeluceans. Accent is different too soooo lots of changes this transfer.

and now for the AMAZING NEWS!!

Okay so awhile back I told you about the mother and daughter who were gonna get baptized. The mother yes got baptized but I didn´t have the heart to tell you all that the daughter backed out the day before. Well this last week we were praying because we knew that she was ready to get baptized. She has a testimony but she was building walls of doubts. They were just getting higher and higher. But after much prayer we felt like we needed to invite her to get baptized this Saturday. We had the appointment with her on Thursday. as we planned the lesson we truly felt guided. We decided to talk about the Life of Christ and all the things that He did. We prayed and prayed to have the spirit with us. Well as we began the lesson everything was going well the Spirit was there so strongly. Well after we both testified of Christ and His atonement. I asked, "He did all of that for us. But was do we give to Him?" She responded "well we follow Him." My companion "Christ has invited us to be baptized like we read (alma 7:14-15). If Christ was here and invited you be baptized would you do it?" Her face lit up and she said "yes of course without a doubt." I then testified "We have been called by a profet of God as respresentatives of Christ and we are asking, will you be baptized by someone who has the authority of God?" -silence- "yes i will."

That night we fasted. Giving thanks to God for His spirit and begging that she focused on her testimony and not on her doubts. The elders came and an hour and 15 minute interview later they appeared. "I´m getting baptized tomorrow" she declared. And that she did. We had an amazing miracle baptism. The Lord is in this work. I have no doubt. Mircles happen everyday. Big or small it doesn´t matter they are miracles. I love this work and I am sad to be leaving Málaga. I love the people here. But I know the Lord will take care of them and I will see them again someday. Love you all and I pray that your week is full of blessing.

love,
Hermana Petru
