Week 12

Dear Family,

Lourdes was baptized!!!! Ah I have so many stories today and so little time, ok lets get started!

First:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN!!!!! 16!! Wow. I can't believe it. And your are now going to be able to drive and date.  Big change! haha you will always be my little sister.  I hope you have a wonderful birthday! I'm thinking about you.  Oh and also I can't believe you were called as ward organist! I know you are going to be wonderful. Oh and have fun on tour! Send me the details and pictures!

Something funny I found out... I talk in my sleep! Hermana told me and I couldn't believe it! She has to ask me some nights to stop talking haha. So embarassing.

Lourdes!!! Ah we found her about December 20th and have taught her ever. I really wouldn't want any one else as my first convert.  She is the sweetest thing and has such a strong testimony.  Friday came and her mom said no way was she going to be baptized so we taught her and changed her fecha for the 31. Well we got a call on saturday from our dirstrict leader of the importance of fechas and how we set it with the spirit and it is her day. So we prepared and ran to her house to talk.  Her mom said no. We continued to talk and then we decided that she needed to pray right then and there.  We prayed maybe 10 times but she didn't feel anything.  But she changed her mind and said yes! So we ran and prepared the baptism font halling water out the front of the church in garbage cans becaue the water was dirty.  Ran back for Lourdes and taught her everything we hadn't and she had her intergview.  She wanted me to speak at her baptism so I did! ha and she gave the closing prayer. So sweet.  And on Sunday she was confirmed.,  She told us her feelings of everything and is so grateful to have the spirit now. I love her so much!

Exact obedience!! Well on monday we had the conference and the whole mission made a promise that we are going to be exactly obedient.  Well wedesday night we had an activity and had to take our investigators home well we were at Lourdes house about 15-20 minutes fast walking to our house.  I looked at my watch and it said 9:20.  I looked at hermana and told her and said lets run!! We ran the whole way home and I was praying that Heavenly Father would help me ser obedediente con exactitud.  Well we ran into our house at 9:29 and I know it was only through Heavenly Father and our obedience and love to keep our commitment that we made it

We have another baptism this Friday,. Pedro!

And we have cambios changes, tomorrow.  Hermana will be leaving, and I will be staying her and receiving a new companion, Hermana Ahern.  She had 2 changes left and was an hermana viajante.  She was a coordinator one of the 8.  And Hermana Rodriguez is going to be one.  So I'm sad that she is leaving but excited to be getting a new companion.


Love you all so much! Thank you for everything!
P.S Sorry I don't have time to write about Hermana Openshaws talk,sorry and our new mission president is President Cook and if from Idaho.

Love,
Hermana Louder
