May 18, 2015

Familyyyyy!!!!!!

Another week down, it is crazy hearing about seminary graduation and it is crazy to think the next generation of missionaries is coming out and we will have 2015 missionaries. I cant believe how fast time is going. These last 6 months have gone by super duper fast and i cant believe i will almost have a year under my belt. 

We have seen miracles with Enrique and Gaby this week. Its always scary because the closer the baptism gets you know that Satan is going to work really hard and some problems are going to arise. So they have another daughter who is eight years old and i don't know how or the whole story but the mom of Gaby took her away to live with her ever since she was little and wouldn't let Enrique and Gaby take care of her. So this week their little daughter got way sick and there mom brought her to Enrique and Gaby so that they could get her all taken care of. So that was a big problem that they were having with their family and they were also having difficulty being able to cover the cost of that and still being able to get married. It just so ends up that they were able to talk to the parents of Gaby and they agreed to let their daughter live with them and that Enrique got a raise and money is no longer a problem. It's just little miracles that i love. The best thing about them is that they recognize the spirit in their life and they know that god is helping them and blessing them. Enrique works 24 hours strait on Friday and Saturday so that he can come to church on Sunday. They have their 5 times and now we just need to finish up the lessons. We still haven't talked about the word of wisdom and we are going to do that tonight. Pray for them all you can. They are really excited about their baptism and Enrique told us yesterday in church that all his life he has had a desire to dress all in white but never knew why but now he told us he finally knows haha.

Marisol is also doing great. We are making tons of progress with her and she is finally keeping her commitments and really showing progress. She even had an interview with the bishop for a convention of single adults in July and is signed up and ready to go. Her date is for the 13th of June and she is finally ready to make this covenant. We are having a little bit of difficulties with coffee with her because all her life she has been one of those people that drinks it all day, she has come a really long way and now is just drinking a little sip every week haha so keep praying for her that she can get rid of it for good.

Besides our 3 dates for baptism we are in the process of finding new investigators and it will be a little slow for a while. We fasted yesterday that we could find those people that god has prepared for us and i know that when we leave those who aren't doing anything that God will help us and that we will find them. The power of fasting is real!!!

We had a zone conference with president this week and he told us that some missionaries had came up to him and had told him that there companion told them that president had given them the special assignment to help them because they were a "Project" and needed some extra help. He told us the missionaries were a little surprised when he said, absolutely YES that you are a project and then we read a talk about this and he made it very clear to us that each one of us are projects here and need a little help.

That's about it family, it has been raining and raining and raining here. Ive been a little sick this week because i think of the rain and that we are just always soaking wet. But besides a cough and runny nose life is absolutely great. I love this work and i am learning so much and the mission is changing me. This is where i need to be and i know people are waiting, we just got to find them. Love you guys so much and have a GREAT week. Toodles. E Law
