Happy Halloween!

This week has been a blast! We've had so many miracles happen its amazing! 

We've taught so many lessons this week it was awesome! Were having great things happen. Our investigator James has finally quit smoking so were going to be able to baptize him on the 20th! Were so excited for that, the gospel has changed his life so much and its been so amazing to be able to witness that. He's such a cool guy and is now even having us teach his niece as well, and were going to be able to baptize her on the 20th as well im so pumped!

The highlight of my week is definitely Damishas baptism. It was so awesome to be able to be apart of that and actually get to perform the ordinance. He's such a great kid and were so happy he made this step in his life. Their family situation is horrible and I won't go into detail about it, but its so sad to see what these kids have to go through and live with. Were hoping to be able to get his siblings baptized soon as well. Im so excited for them and how the gospel will bless them and change them.

The craziest moment of this week was when had to talk to Damishas grandma about him being baptized. It was by far the most intense thing ive been through on my mission. She was not having it at all. For some reason she just kept saying that he wasn't ready. It got to the point where we were like do you think god trusts him? And she was like ya. And then we told her that she just needed to trust him and have some faith in him. And the spirit was so strong and she finally agreed to let him get baptized it was so awesome!

Im loving the work so much and im learning a lot. Its so awesome to be able to serve the lord! I hope everyone has a great week, and happy Halloween! 

Much love
