It has been a great week this week. Yesterday we saw a bunch of miracles. Well I will start with how it went. We were walking to church and this family of recent converts was walking and yelled Elder Maughan`s name. So we looked back and it was all of the girls the mom didn`t get baptized, but the three girls got baptized and their little sister that is like seven also came with them. But they brought a friend so there we had one person in church that we are going to start teaching.
We then walked into church and as we were walking down the hall we saw the niece of some members that said she wasn`t ever going to be able to come because she is baptist and her fam doesn`t want her to. So we stopped trying with her and then she showed up at church. So ya you can never be sure.
Next ran into a girl that got baptized a couple months ago with her mom and sister who are waiting because the husband doesn`t want to let them yet.
Then the parents of another family of like four older kids that got baptized came.
And last but not least our couple that we have been working with.. Enrique and Laura. Enrique is in charge of a fruit plant. He is one of the big dogs in this place he works. It is a farm owned by french owners. And he is in charge of all of the fruit that passes through. But just the coolest guy ever and Laura already decided that she wants to get baptized we are just waiting for him.
So we had 9 people in church yesterday that we will be teaching. It was just so much fun. We took my ipod and Elder Maughan`s speakers and we played the hymns on that and it was a big help because everyone sang and it has been a while since that has happened which was another miracle. Just a great day.
This week we had consejo which is our zone leader meeting and I got to see president and his fam. His kid just got back from his mission in Spokane, Washington. So he speaks pretty good english. It is pretty cool to see the other side of it. He is just like his dad. Just always wants to go out with the missionaries now haha. A good kid.
I got to talk to sister Avila, President, their son Pablo that just got back, and their daughter Leticia. It is just so cool to know them. Because they are great people and not everyone has the chance to get to know them. But from being in the offices I got to know them really well. We also saw the Rastelli´s and as always they were asking about the fam. So they said to tell you hi. I think we will see them again in zone conference this week so I will tell them hi for you mom. Just a great fam. The mom is coming back up in April I think for a few months to stay so maybe you can meet up again if you want... I will make sure she has your number if you want to...just let me know.
We are just having a blast and doing everything that we can to help these people that we have because we have a ton that are getting close to getting baptized. It will be a good month I pray. We are just enjoying our time we have together because we both know that it will be short haha. But it has been fun while it has lasted...
I hope all is well at home and that everyone is doing well. I got my package this past week and it was wonderful. Just a little late for the balentimes stuffs. But that is ok. I am just so happy and love this work so much. We have seen so many miracles in such a short time...and I just hope and pray that we can see more to help these people in the ways that they need.. such a great privilege to have had and to continue to have in this wonderful time. So I hope you all have a great week and we shall talk next week!
Love,
Elder Wheeler
