SUP!?!?!?!
Well its been a really good week. We have been working really hard, finding, teaching, and BAPTIZING!! We had a fecha set with a couple but the husband was called to work. He is a truck driver and will be gone for at least 15 days. So we lost that fecha. Well Hermana Brimhall and I were really sad. We had a goal of 2 baptisms this month. It was going to be a strech but we thought that truly this family was going to be it. After we lost his fecha we didn´t know what we were going to do. So we fasted. We fasted to find who was prepared to be baptized this month and that our other fecha continued to progress toward her date. As we opened the fast we had no idea what was about to happen. Saturday morning we recieved a call from the elders in Huelcalavera. They aren´t in our zone and we weren´t sure what was up. Anyway as we listened to Elder Barhona everything changed. He began with a great statement.
E.B "Hermanas I have a present for you."
US "okay what would that be?"
E.B "A baptism."
US "WHAT!?!?!"
He went on to explain that they had been teaching a man there and that he had a baptismal date for this weekend. They found out that he lived in Almería. But they figured they could baptize him there and then transfer his records. Elder Barhona didn´t feel right about it so he called president. President told him that Benito, the investigator, would have to be baptized here in Almería. So we got the call saturday morning and by Sunday night we had a baptism. The Lord works miracles. After this phone call my companion and I dropped to our knees and gave thanks. We were so astonished. We felt kind of like this.
"And so great was the prosperity of the church, and so many the blessings which were poured out upon the people, that even the high priests and the teachers were themselves astonished beyond measure." Helaman 3:25
My dear friends the Lord is with us. He listens to our prayers. He listens to our desires. He truly loves us. And when our desires are just and true He does all He can to help us. I am so grateful to be part of this great work. I know that this chruch is true. I know God loves us. I love you all and hope that this message finds you happy. If not have patience in your afflictions and turn to the Lord. He will deliver you.
Lots of love and besos
Hermana Petru
