Scripture 3 Nephi 12:16  Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Wow what an awesome week. It was my companions last week in the mission and it was a great one for the both of us. We spent every second we could working and trying to find and teach people and our work is starting to pay off as we now have 5 people with a baptismal date and are planning on having 7-9 by the end of this week.


R and her daughter are still progressing and are excited for their baptism on the 31st of this month. I love going to teach them because they have completely changed and actually pay attention and want to learn and be ready to be baptized. We also put a date for C and L for the 28th of February. They still have to get married and everything so we are helping them with that and getting them ready to be baptized. They are also actually reading their scriptures which is really helping them to be prepared. I and S are still progressing little by little but we are still trying to help them out. All of them came to church yesterday so that was a pretty big deal for us to have all of them there.


With changes and my companion finishing his mission we planned with a family to throw a surprise going away party for my companion. It was awesome because they invited the three investigator families (the ones in the paragraph above). Everyone had a good time and all of the investigators are friends now and are really good friends with the family. So our going away party was actually worthwhile as far as missionary work goes haha.


So my new companion is Elder Mendoza from Lima and I am now senior companion and zone leader. It's pretty crazy how fast time is flying haha. But we have a lot of really good missionaries in our zone so I am excited to work with all of them. Also our zone has 13 investigators with a baptismal date so hopefully everything works out and we can see some baptisms this month.


Well that's all. Love you guys!
