April 23, 2018 Hola everybody! A quick one for this week. We had the baptism of Carlos and Diego on Saturday!!!  Oh how I love those niños. So great. Everything went well with that, they are happy so we are happy. Diego and Carlos got Baptized Saturday!!! LOVE these ninos. It's Spring People!!!! YAY!!! Carlos' house A cool experience this week was when we went to go and visit Nadia. She lives wayyyy out there, and is a Mom of 2. (she lives in the colonia palmar, I sent pics of it) She was telling us how stressed she is, because she is a teen mom with a partner that doesn't exactly support her.

April 9, 2018 Happy Monday otra vez! We are happy as ever down here. And I thought it was impossible, but also hot as ever. You can take that how you want to.  We had a lot of rejection this week, which was fun. It was awesome to see the Lord's hand in all things. We had 4 of our fechas fall (people that had a date set for the baptism) and we really wanted to be able to meet with the goal of the mission, which is to always maintain 10 investigators with fechas. We were like, ok, we have got to put 4 more fechas in 1 day. And we did, by some amazing miracles! It was amazing to see how the Lord blesses those who just keep trying. Don't get down on yourself! He is always there to bless and lift you up. By the end of this week we were able to boost ourselves up to above the goal of the mission, which is one of the best feelings ever. Ya'll, set goals that are in line with the Lord, and never give up.  Hermana Bicenta made a beautiful cake for Hermana Sanchez's Birth...
