13 Down, 11 to go...

Jovenes! dudes...this last week was literally a miracle. you will see why in the photo. our district of 6 missionaries ended up baptizing 15 people. I dont know why and i dont know how i just know that Distrito Asiole was extremely blessed this week.  we had the opportunity of having President and Hermana Markham there as well and it was such a neat experience! On Saturday we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off doing interviews, Sunday was all sorts of nuts, and when all was said and done, we had more work to do on Sunday afternoon! I love the mission. it is so so so rewarding in so many ways you never would think possible. the people here are amazing, and theey really do become your family. we had one of our converts tell us the other day, you guys dont realize that its all the little things you do that really make the difference, and that matter the most. love her. this week we have changes, and looks like i will be staying here in Ssiole, but getting another newby to train!  woohoo!! loving it! the book of mormon is true. try reading it, see how it changes your life. Scripture of the day: Mosiah 23:9-11 (9 But remember the iniquity of king Noah and his priests; and I myself was caught in a snare, and did many things which were abominable in the sight of the Lord, which caused me sore repentance; 10 Nevertheless, after much tribulation, the Lord did hear my cries, and did answer my prayers, and has made me aninstrument in his hands in bringing so many of you to a knowledge of his truth. 11 Nevertheless, in this I do not glory, for I am unworthy to glory of myself.)  The gospel is true and can change your life. keep on keeping on and love everyone! happy birthday to all and have a great fall break!
