The One Where It's Been a While Since I've Written a weekly

 Hey guys! So yeah I haven't written a weekly in a couple of weeks which I'm super sorry about!! Now you'd think I have lots to talk about right? Well... I'm not sure about that one but let's get into it anyway haha!

Mary, this awesome lady from Brazil gets baptized on Saturday! We are super excited for her! We taught her twice this week and both times were awesome! She is so prepared!

On Monday I had the opportunity to do my first baptismal interview in Spanish! Because I'm the only Zone Leader who speaks Spanish here! But anyways, it was with an awesome guy from Chile named Victor! He is SO awesome. He's been meeting with missionaries for a bit now, and is so awesome! He's a lawyer and loves the knowledge he's grown of the Gospel! His testimony is so strong!!

On Saturday we were able to attend his baptism and we invited Mary to come because she speaks Spanish decently too! She got to see what the baptism was like, and loved it!! The spirit was so strong and hearing Victor share his testimony at the end was so inspiring. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a Gospel of change I love that so much.

We were able to do some good service this week as well! Service is always so fun!! We had some good lessons too with a lady named Cora! She is super open and told us that if she comes to know the Book of Mormon is true she'll get baptized so that's sweet!! We will see what happens with her! It was actually really cool because we were street contacting at night and the last street we decided to walk down we found her on! We felt Inspired to walk down it so that was a cool experience that same night we found her we also found an awesome family! They are the Nichols, and they have been pretty open so far! We just haven't been able to meet so much with them yet but we will see what happens!

Church was really good, but we are meeting in a different building at 3:30 because ours is under repairs from the freeze still, so that's terrible haha. I don't like 3:30 church but oh well it was still really good! I played a musical number so that was fun

Love y'all! Hope your week is amazing talk to meeeee!
