What a great week this week! The Lord has been blessing us with so many miracles!

We had a church tour with Rogoberto this week, and it went so well.  We didn't have to teach anything, the member just was a super awesome friend, showed him around, and talked briefly about everything.  We asked Rogoberto to pray for a miracle that he could attend church every Sunday.  He works every Sunday.  And he said in incredible sincere prayer asking for this miracle and asking God if he could become a member of our church!  He still has a lot to go through before he can get baptized, but he is the most sincere investigator I've ever taught.  When he says he will be there, he is there.  And he is coming to church for the first time this next week. :)

     We finally got an investigator to church this week!  It was intense.  We had to leave English ward early so that we could go to Tiffany's house early enough to wake her up in enough time to get ready for church.  It was a miracle her brothers were home to let us in, and a miracle she woke up!  She is a deep sleeper, after yelling and flickering the lights and tapping her we finally had to get her 4 year old little sister to come and terrorize her. But she came!  And if she doesn't hate us too bad she might come again next week and get baptized the week after.  Hope so!  We are teaching so many youth and really the only way for them to progress and be stable is to get their parents involved, so we have a new commitment from our district leader that we can only teach them if their parents are their or we have signed permission that they can get baptized.  It's tough, but a really good thing. 

       My favorite lesson this week was teaching 4 boys around Makade's age.  They were so excited to pray and feel the holy Ghost at the end of the lesson that they were laughing.  So we had to have 4 closing prayers and after each one prayed, he described how he felt, "I felt something touch my heart!"  Then the next one prayed and exclaimed, "I feel a burning inside my chest!"  Each one had their own real description of the Holy Ghost.  It was a delightful lesson.  It's just hard to set up a schedule because they have little control or feel little responsibility at this age.   

      Can't wait to Skype on Saturday!
