First off, I want to explain the doll thing that is in my pictures. One of our investigators game me a graduation doll because that's what she does for her work. I wasn't really on the search for a graduation toy, but she gave it to me kindly so of course I accepted it. When we got to the house, I changed it into something a little bit more like my life now.
This week was pretty cool because our recent convert, Blanca Corrales has been doing some missionary work this week. She's been inviting her neighbor to go to church with her, her sister, and now her nieces (age 12 and 14) go to church with her frequently. One of them has started her Personal Progress already. We're teaching them frequently but their mom doesn't want them to be baptized. At least not yet. So we're praying really hard for her to accept and we have a Family Home Evening with them on Tuesday. AND Blanca is preparing to go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead in April. She's what we call "Investigador de oro" or "Golden Investigator" but now she's a "Golden convert". It's very comforting to think about the day that Elder Talaverano and I contacted her and the many blessings that she is receiving, the ward is receiving, her family, her neighbors. And it all started with the decision to say "yes" when the spirit told us to knock on her door.

I love this work and I know with all my heart that this gospel changes lives. I've had a front row seat and I can testify of the truth of the message we all share as Elderes y Hermanas. I love you all and I'm so grateful for all of the support. You're in my prayers and I love hearing from you. Have a great week!
