May 9, 2016 Second to Last Letter!

Hey Family!!!! It was great talking to everyone yesterday and to see your pretty faces and it was a pretty chill call knowing that I will be home in two weeks. We had a great week and truly are receiving so many miracles.
Inv. Update.
Sirina is doing SOOO great. We taught the word of wisdom on Tuesday and she has not drank coffee since. Keep her in your prayers. She is progressing so good and we are praying and working very hard with her so that we can get her baptized on the 21st of May, that would be so great to end the mission like that. She came to church again yesterday and payed her tithing and only lacks one more sunday to have 5. This week we also started teaching two of her sisters also so we are pretty excited.
We have been working lots with Vanessa and Marta because the Dad is in Mexico working. Their is really nothing we can do with Marta because she has to get permission from his and there is no way around it but Vanessa turns 18 the end of May and will be baptized the 4th of June so we are pretty excited for them.
We got the chance to go out to Tlapacoya on Saturday. Hno. Delfino has been organizing a huge Mothers Day activity for the last couple weeks and he really wanted us there. SO we were able to get permission from P. Nelson to go out by ourselves and it was flat out incredible. They were able to have over 100 people come and assist their activity. Thats pretty good knowing that there are only 3 members out there so 97 non members assisted. We started off with a devotional where me and my comp both shared messages about mothers and then they served food to everyone and ended with some Karaoke. We were able to talk to lots of people and had a good talk with ALbertina and were able to put a date with her for the 11th of June and made a good plan to be able to give her the lessons. Keep them in your prayers, Hno. Delfino and his wife truly are incredible and impress me so much.
Miracle Story! So about 7 weeks ago me and and comp contacted a man named Fernando of about 50 years and his mom Remedios. They both did not live in our area, Fernando lived in Chignahuagan (the area of E. Page) and Remedios lived in Roma (an area in Puebla). We always try teaching in the street when it is possible but if they are not in our area we usually just take their direction and pass it to the other areas. We had the feeling though that we needed to teach them. We had a great lesson and put baptism dates with both of them and then passed the references to the other areas. I kept in contact with E Page about how they were doing and even had the chance to teach them a couple times in divisions. They both ended up just being golden and were baptized this past Saturday. Today we went to Chignahuapan to buy some things and I just so happened to see Fernando in one of the stores and he came and gave me a big hug. He knows I am going home soon and told me that I have fulfilled my mission here now because I was a part in changing their lives. It was truly a touching experience and made me so happy.
Our area is on fire right now. We have 20 baptism dates for June and truly are receiving so many miracles. That's the one bad thing about the mission, right when you learn how to work it is time to go home.
