queridas familia y amistades

we had a baptismal interview. sometimes when our investigators arent progressingw well and there is obviously something holding them back, we throw them in an interveiw withan elder and they find their hidden doubts. it works great! i have a lot of confidence in the elders. well, turns out, hermana suley, has a girlfriend. yes,. a GIRL friend. she is homosexual. adn doesnt even feel bad about it. she doesnt want to change. so we are back to square one with finding. well the next day a miracle happened and victor came to church. he has visited with 6 different missionaries and came to church for the first time in 5 years. and he accepted a baptismal date! AWESOME!  he is ready. and we are here to harvest. WHAT A BLESSING! we are also working with lucho. the son of my recent convert. we are gonna complete this family one person at a time. so far we have mom, daughter, and now we are working on son. and there is a  7 year old who will be preparing for her baptism in the next 6 months. AWESOME! 
 
happy mothers day to all the beautiful influential women in my life. it was SO AWESOME skyping home to mama and miss heidi. i am so blessed with such wonderful parents. i dont know what i did to have such righteous examples in my life. i had to ask mom for forgiveness for ever being a bratt. being far from home for a long timemakes you realize a lot of things.
