Blessed More Abundantely

Written January 21, 2013 

Wow,

That is all I can say after this letter. There was lots of things to think about and lots of news that came out of this week. How are you doing mom? I am super happy for you that you are super excited about your calling. When we are willing to do the Lords will we are always blessed more abundantly than when we try to do things our way. It will be a challenge I think to figure out what to do but mom, I think that you will go crazy if you are not baking for someone. All I told my companion is that if you aren't doing it as a business everyone in the branch will always food and all the ladies from you calling as well. My only input is that you should consult with the Lord first and then pay attention to how you feel, then follow the answer that you receive and everything will be great. BUT WOW. No TLC. I worry more for the people of Shelby than for you!!!! hahaha I'm only thankful that you are my Mom and you will cook for me forever!!!! :D 

But this week. WE HAD A BAPTISM!!! Wow, it's been a long time since I was able to say that! It went really well and our little Susana was super ready to get her feet wet in the font and make a covenant with Heavenly Father. She really understands what it means and is already starting on her family to help them accept the gospel as well. We have started talking to her mom seriously about the church and we are hoping that little by little she too will feel in her heart that it is true. Her mom was super excited about the baptism and I think she truly felt the Spirit! 
 
Wow, I am just soo happy right now in my mission. We still have trials and challenges but we are seeing lots of the little miracles from Heavenly Father. It truly is amazing to see the fruits of your labors. I told Dad that people in my old sector are going to get baptized as well!! But with that we had some challenges this week as well with our other investigator. She has a baptismal date this Saturday but her parents won't give her permission to do it. They have good reasons for not signing but I think that they just lack hearing the testimony of their daughter. Oh well. It's not the Lords timing and we are still going to work with her. I'm not going to write much because I want to send pictures. But know that I love you and think about all of you!!!!! Let me know how this week goes with everything!

LOVE YOU ALLL SO MUCH!!!!!
