Transfers is tomorrow, and my beloved sister Andersen is leaving me! So last week was kind of tough because we dropped almost all of our investigators and only found one new investigator. But the Lord blessed us so much this week. We've been promised that if we open our mouths to everyone, that we will hit the standard of excellence for new investigators and this week we were blessed with 10 new investigators! 5 of them come from a wonderful family, the Paez family. We were a little nervous to talk to them because the die-hard Catholic grandma got sent out to talk to us, but the spirit softened their hearts and the kids and mom want to be baptized. The boys are 8 and 10 years old and they are sponges for the Gospel. Our return appointment they were expecting us, peeking out the front window excited for us to come and give them Book of Mormons. They will go to the Spanish branch, which will be wonderful for them. When we left the 10 year old had a hard time putting down the book of mormon to say the closing prayer.Rachel should be getting baptized this next Sunday, then her daughter Rachel will be the Conference Weekend. I feel like I've known them for forever. She is a coffee drinker so we made plans to help her stop and she is doing great, and she even stopped 2 days earlier than she was supposed to! Every time we take her to church she finds out she knows more people there, and it's like she has more member friends than the members do. Missionary work is so intense! This will be my first time being senior companion and I'm a little nervous because I hope we can keep up all the good miracles that the Lord is blessing us with. For some reason, the work always changes a lot when you get a new companion. But, i know that if I keep praying and pleading to God for our investigators and for help, he will lead the way.I'm loving my mission and am so grateful for miracles God is sending to hasten His work.Love,Hermana Campbell
