Happy Mothering Sunday!

Hello ya'll!

Sorry I don't have much time, so this will be a short one!

This week has been...interesting! Haha :) We spent the better half of the week biking to a neighboring village, St. Ives. Where we had a lot of referrals, less-actives, AUF's, and places to find! We were really excited! But...nothing. We contacted, tracted, found, with nothing. It was so discouraging! But we were able to come in contact with 2 less actives, Pauline and Gerry Killgallon. They are INCREDIBLE! Because of their health, they aren't able to make it to church. But we now have an open invitation to stop by whenever! When we first walked in, we were a little apprehensive, as Pauline started my saying "You've come as missionaries, and not friends, have you?" But when we left, almost 2 hours later, we had grown to love them SO MUCH and now have an amazing friendship with them. :)

So, after the not very successful time in St. Ives, we went to visit Ana, and had an AMAZING lesson with her! She is 12, and being baptised on Sunday!! She is incredible, and such a wonderful example. She LOVES the Book of Mormon, Joseph Smith, the Plan of Salvation, everything! She takes notes and just absolutely loves it all. :) It just helped me realize that it's all worth it. The doors slammed in our faces, the mean things yelled, everything is so worth it, when you see how the Gospel can light up someones eyes and life.

Then later in the week we went to stop by our recent converts house (Geo, Alberto, and Albey) and their 15 year old cousin, Helder, was there! We have been trying to see him for a while, but haven't had much success. We showed them a demo that Elder Dowlde suggested called Egg Baptism, and then Helder said he wanted to be baptised on April 19th!! He wants a full month to make sure he is fully ready, but he is so good. He loves learning, he loves young mens, and when we told him about general conference, his reaction was "8 hours of church?? YAY!! I can't wait to learn!!" It was wonderful. :)

We also have a lesson coming up on Friday with a referral from the Elders, and she seems AMAZING! So we are praying that we are able to see her and have a wonderful lesson! (We need English investigators...) Haha but when we talked to her on the phone, it was such a wonderful conversation and such a pleasant end to the week. :)

Well! I am out of time, but I just want to leave you with my testimony that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. He is everything to me and I know that He felt everything before we did. I know that as we embrace him, we are able to see miracles happen, in our lives and in the lives of others. I love you all so much and leave this with you in His sacred name, Jesus Christ, Amen. :)

Love,

Sister Moody
