Miracles!!!

Hi Family

 

I don't have much time but wanted to send home some miracles!

 

December 26th: P-day. Met w/ Teresa at 6:30 for her "do or die" lesson to be Baptized. Brother Oels gave her a powerful blessing. She went to her interview and passed. We taught Mayra during Teresa's interview with her fellowshippers.

 

December 27th: Sister Riggs 27th birthday. We spent the entire morning calling people to do things for Teresa's Baptism. Everything was settled for the baptism but we hadn't heard anything from Teresa all day. We had District meeting and at 3:00 she finally texted us. Had the Baptism at 5:30. She bore a powerful yet simple testimony that she knows this was the right thing to do for her and her children (she has a 6 year old and is 9 months pregnant) Went to the Mormon Battalion at 7 and had a tour with Tony Middleton (recent convert) and his family. Then we had an oreo layered cake that I arranged for a senior sister to make for sister riggs' birthday.

 

December 28th: we prepared everything for mayra's Baptism. Weekly Planned. Taught a lot of lessons and then had her interview that night.

 

December 29th: we had a few lessons. It rained and was really cold. All the suits in Mayra's size were gone except for the one in the men's changing room that was just used at the Zone Leaders' Baptism an hour earlier. Mayra put on the cold suit and was Baptized. :) What a joyous day! We bought a Pizza and invited Teresa to join us. We had a good lesson at Mangia Bene's

 

December 30th. No Ward Council...thankfully so we could finish our Sacrament talks. Teresa didn't show up to Sacrament until just after Mayra's confirmation was finished. Sister Riggs was really stressing out! haha! It wasn't funny at the time though. We were the entire sacrament program. We both spoke and Sister Riggs sang one of her lovely musical numbers! :)

 

December 30th after church....thoughts of transfers filled our minds and started haunting us a little.

 

December 31st Got out of the car and saw someone that said "do I know you?" It was my little middle-eastern friend Yasmin from my last zone! She moved here and is in our area! We added her and are going to baptize her!!!! :) Then 30 minutes later we ran in to another lady i knew in my last area that I volunteered with at the Miramar Thrift Store. She is neighbors with the Relief Society President in the ward I'm serving in.

 

That was my crazy week!!!!
