Family,

This week was has truly been a week of miracles! It started off last Sunday as we heard from a member in the Bishopric that the (M) who have been less active but have been coming out to church, have 2 daughters who are 11 and 12 who are not baptized!! Well kinda... So the mom wanted the 12 year old to go on the temple trip on Saturday with the youth and as she met with the Bishop he found out she didn't even have records. The mom says that her and her younger sister were baptized at 8 back in Hawaii but there is no records of them anywhere. The ward has searched everywhere and even called Salt Lake but there is no record for them. So Wednesday night we got a call from the Bishop asking us how to go forth with a re-baptism. Since they had come out to church over 3 times we were just going to teach them all the lessons and then baptize them Friday so she could go to the temple on Saturday. The font at the temple broke and so the trip was cancelled so we are not in a rush anymore. Friday night we taught them and went over the baptismal interview questions and got a feel of what they know and are teaching them right now. They will get baptized this next Saturday June 2!! We are so excited for them they are awesome. The dad is also not a member so we hope as we teach the kids the dad will soften his heart as well!

But that is not all the Miracles!!! Thursday night at 8:30 we went to visit a referral in a apartment complex but she wasn't home. We decided to try another referral in the same complex we have been trying to get a hold of but have missed. Anyways he was home and let us right in!! He and his wife are from Kenya and they were so kind and we taught them about the Book of Mormon and bore testimony of how much it will benefit them in their lives. It was a simple lesson yet the Spirit was so strong. They both said they knew it was true before we even asked them to read it. At the end of the lesson they did commit to read the Book of Mormon and they both committed to baptism for July 7th!!!

We were so blessed this week with finding and having 4 new investigators placed in our hands and on date for baptism. (G) is also progressing super well. She accepts everything we teach and is willing to change if she needs to, to please God. She has so many member friends and they will study together. She is super excited for her baptism as well for June 9th!! The Lord has been blessing us so much lately and things are going so good! I love the mission and I love this gospel. It's the sweetest moments in the world watching things click in these individuals heads, seeing the light that comes into their eyes as they learn more and desire to be a part of it.

It has been such a blessing in my life watching our investigator (G) as she learns about this gospel. She is just like Lehi in 1 Nephi 8:12. She knows that this gospel is true and she desires it more in her life but not just in her life but also in others lives as well. She has been inviting friends and family to come to her baptism and to church. She is even bringing a less active family back to church!! It's so amazing the joy that comes into ones life as they accept this message.

I'm also grateful for all of you and hope that you all have a good week. Thanks for all you do. Love ya!
