Happy Valentines day to everyone hope it was awesome!!!!
This week was great! We worked a lot with the people we have with baptismal dates. All of them are so awesome!! They are all progressing very well and learning a lot about this wonderful Gospel. At the start of the week, my companion and I said we were really going to focus on these two girls names Enis and Gloria. They had a baptism date for the 14th of February! The challenge with them is that they live really far away!! To come to church they have to walk thirty minutes cross two rivers and then take a 30 minute bus ride! Crazy what a sacrifice it is for them just to come to church! So me and elder araica set the goal to get out there three times this week and we did! It was so great to get out there and really work hard to prepare them for their baptism.
They are so awesome and i had the incredible opportunity to baptize both of them. It was one of the most spiritual experiences i have ever had!! They are such good people and i am so thankful for the opportunity i had to see them change through the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
We have another date set with a lady named Alicia. She is about 23 and she has been in contact with the missionaries for a while. She really wanted to get baptized but she wasnt able to because she was living with her boyfriend and he was pretty against the church. But she broke it off with him and now she is more than ready to get baptized.
Love the work that i am a part of. Seeing peoples lives change through living the commandments that god has given us has been such a great experiece. I learn more and more each day and i am so thankful for this opportunity i have to devote two years of my life to serving heavenly father.
Love all of you hope this week is awesome!

p.s. We had a sweet activity this week where we went down to the centro and brought like three boxes full of book of mormons. We asked people what they knew about it and we got some pretty funny answers. But it was sweet!! in all we placed about 55 book of mormons and got a ton of references!
