Well family this week was full of adventures so buckle up.
Monday night we recieved a call that president was going to visit our area in the morning for interviews and training. I knew that this was an opportunity to ask questions that I have been thinking in the last 2 cambios and begin to pray that I would ready to recieve the answers. Well he came and the very first thing he did was give a talk on my question. WOW... what a powerful experience. I know that he is an inspired man of God and that the Holy Ghost is guiding his actions. We had a training afterword adn the AP asked me to demonstrate how to contact... yeah... no pressure. jeje. pero it was a good experience and I learned a ton. I know that action invites the Holy Ghost adn it is through the Holy Ghost that we learn. After this Presidente interviewed me adn it was an amazing experience. I was able to get clarification on the things that I was struggling with and was reminded by him that if Missionary Work is not fun we are not doing it right. I think this also applies to life. He talked about how usually it is not the circumstance that changes but the thoughts of the person in the circumstance. Pretty much it was a call to repentance for me - here we call it a machete- but it was exactly what I had been praying for and I know that our weaknesses are opportunities to feel the atoning power of Christ in our lives.

This Thursday was also super special. The Romero Garcia family was married and then baptized into the church. What an experience. WE spent all day preparing getting things in order for the wedding and the rest of our time with the family preparing them. I did the hair of all the women for the wedding.Yeah...me. Never thought I would ever say that. jeje. But it was a another powerful experience. I was really scared because I wanted them to look their best adn feel special so a prayed that my abilities would be magnified and I sincerely believe that I recieved help. The service was beautiful and one of our other investigators visited and was really touched. I was talking to him afterwords and he told me that he felt like it was especially special because it was a family and he felt a desire to have that for himself also. Gods plan is a plan for families. After the baptism there was a torrential downpoor I will send the pictures. It was super divertido.

Other news. THis Saturday I completed 4 months in the mission and we celebrated by getting caught in another downpoor. THe streets were completely flooded adn the wind had knocked over trees cutting the power. I loved it. I dont know why but I really am coming to love rain and things that make one day different from the rest.

Family Lezama....hopefully this week

Well family, I love you. I am so grateful for your letters and examples. As always you are in my prayers.
