Family,

Well, I am loving my new area, it is really great, but without a doubt I miss so many wonderful people there. Yesterday we had a miracle occur, it was pretty sweet! I made a contact with a man and now on the mission we are inviting everyone that we meet to be baptized! It is amazing, but I invited him and he accepted, but he didn´t know the address of where he lives but explained where, we marked a day that we could visit him and left, he in one direction and we another, well we continued on and decided to pass by where he lived to know where to go the next day to meet with him. We passed by found out where it was and then I invited another young man to be baptized, about 5 minutes we talked with him and after we heard someone calling us, we turned around to find Divino the man we had made a contact, he said I was going to the mall, but when you spoke to me it touched my heart what you said, I had taught a short lesson so that we could count him as a new investigator,I thought perhaps tomorrow isn´t good for me and I thought if you´d be willing to share this message with me now I would really appreciate it. Of Course we went with him and taught him, before the lesson started he began to cry and tell us a few things, but the spirit was there really strong as we testified of the Restoration of the church and the Book of Mormon, he was really excited about the Book of Mormon and invited himself to church. It was really a neat experience to see the Lords hand in the work. HE followed the spirit. I think he will be baptized here in 2 weeks! Yipee! HE also said that just 6 months ago he was able to stop smoking after 35 years! I know the Lord has been preparing him for this encounter!
I love the Lord!
Happy Birthday youall! Brent and Becca, I wrote a letter, but i lost it in the transfer, it had I think 4 pictures but I will send others!
