Another week of Miracles! So last week was all good and everything. We were teaching Keisy and Rosario and Yari and they are all doing well. Keisy didn't come to church on Sunday because she slept in so her baptism will be next Saturday. Also the baptism of Yari and Rosario will be next Saturday as well. Rosario and Yari are just amazing. In one of the lessons they told us how they had had some friends telling them negative things about the church but they recognized that and they told us how they had prayed to help overcome those negative feelings. They asked us what else they could do if something like that ever happened again.
Last Thursday my companion and I decided to do a sacrifice where we got up earlier to do our studies and we left in the morning to go work and we worked all day. It was a huge grind but we had gotten a reference of a family from the other elders in the ward and we had called and coordinated a lesson. When we were climbing up the hill, I remembered very distinctly the hill and going up it before. About 2 months ago, Elder Alcaz, my old companion, and I had contacted a mom and her daughters, and her mom had cancer and was in the hospital and the family was having a difficult time. We took out a lesson with them but in the end, they arrived really late to the lesson and they couldn't come to church on Sunday because the mom had to take care of her mom in the hospital. Turns out, 2 months later, the elders contact her and we visit them and they are ready to receive the gospel. Thjs is a family of 7. The mom Karina, the dad Carlos, Hailey, Maria Fernanda, Ana Paula, Gaela and baby Carlos. The youngest 2 are too young to get baptized but the parents want to get married and we are helping them prepare to get baptized on the 28th of December.
Also transfers came and surprisingly I am getting transferred. There was kind of a possibility of me getting transferred but I thought I was for sure going to stay because president had asked me in the interviews if I wanted to stay in Santa Clara. But the Lord had other plans, haha. It will be pretty sad to leave this area because Elder Nye was just such an awesome comp, and we got along so well, and we really had got the area down well. I am going to go to The Zone Campoy with an Argentinian companion. The Zone is just straight dirt but that's where all the baptisms are and the best converts, so I am super excited to go! Hope the week is great for everyone!
