Hey mom,
Thanks for the email. I really enjoyed it. You all sound busy. I can't believe that this year is almost done, that’s crazy. oh and what happened to dad in those pictures!?
So maybe I’ll start off this email with a little cool experience that Elder Villanueva and I had. I first want to start off by saying that our prayers and our fasting have been answered! One of our investigators, Sister Camila, has been trying to find a way to get married so that she can get baptized. The problem was that she needed her birth certificate. We have been fasting and praying that she would be able to find it or find another way to be able to get married. Then the other day when we went to her house, she told us that she had a surprise for us. She told us how she went down to the municipal hall to ask them about what she could do about her birth certificate, because they could not find it. She then found out that you she can get married even if she doesn't have a birth certificate, she just needs her voter’s certificate, and she has it!!! We were so excited to find that out. The only thing that we are waiting for is now just financial. Sister Camila is now saving some money so they can get married and that should be happening soon. We are so happy for her. She really has shown her faith to our Father in Heaven and he has blessed her. She didn't just wait around for the blessing, but she went out and found them. That was such a great reminder for me as well. Most of time God has us find the solution to the problem. He just provides a way to make it possible.So that’s just a cool experience we had.
This past week has been alright though. I have been lacking on some sleep. It just seems that every time I lay down my mind doesn't want to shut off. Its weird. but I am still good and functioning and doing fine. We have been getting a lot of stuff done. We have a baptism this week and 2 more next week. Then we have 2 more in three weeks. The last one is a mother and a daughter. The mom could actually get baptized any day but her daughter wants to get baptized with her so they will both be getting baptized in about three weeks. The problem is, that I might be transferring! I will miss like it all!!! So hopefully it doesn't happen. But it is what it is. I’m just glad that I was able to do something good here. When I got here, this place had nothing and it is good to feel that I will be leaving it better then it was before. ……….
Anyway that is all I have for you this week. Thanks for all you do. Love you guys and talk to you later.
Ian
