Sounds like we have both had a fairly busy week! I am glad everything went well with the baby blessings! They are all so cute and big! Cant wait to meet them!
We have had a pretty busy week too! We had to drop most of our investigators because they just aren't progressing. They don't read or go to church or anything, but they just always say they will and that they want to but then they just put up excuses and it's hard and sad, but sometimes it just isn't their time. So we are left with Bricio and Gloria and her family. I don't know if I told you about Francisca last week but she is progressing now too! We found her in the area book and the missionaries found her and talked to her a bit but then never went back! We found her and she almost told us not to come back but we insisted and taught her the restoration. She loved it! She said she has looked in all sorts of churches but they have never "filled" her and she accepted to prepare for baptism on the 26th of march. We went back and taught a bit about the Gospel (Faith, Repentance, Baptism) And she really liked it and said she was going to get everything in order to go to church on Sunday. And she came! Woo!! Gloria and her family couldn't come because of a family emergency but they are still progressing well... They will probably not get baptized on their date because they still have to get married and to do that Gloria needs to be divorced. They already started the process which is great but it usually takes at least a month and a half. But her husband got a better job now which is awesome! But he works on Sundays :( he is going to ask for it off or trade with a coworker. Bricio had to work a 24 hour shift from 9am Saturday to 9am Sunday but he still came to church at 11 on Sunday! Hes a stud! We are excited for him. His wife's baby is due March 6th so that's exciting too! Her name is Dania and his sisters name is Naxieli. They are a great family! They know Sister Gonzalez.
We have been finding some new investigators this week that I will probably tell you more about next week because I don't have much time. One of them is Rosi and we contacted her in the street and she was super interested and said she had never been baptized (SUPER uncommon here in Catholic Mexico!) and that she wanted to learn more! She couldn't go to church yesterday but said next week she will be there for sure. Another one is Margarita who is the wife of a recent convert, less active that we found last week. They came to church yesterday and they are excited to keep learning! We are seeing miracles in the area and the zone and the mission! Last week we had 27 baptisms in the mission which hasn't happened in a long time! Fun stuff! Love you lots and take care of those babies!
Love you!
