2-9-15 Last minute miracles



Hellooo

What a weeeeeeeek!!

Last Monday Sis. Dupape cut 3 inches of my hair off. So that was fun and traumatic.

Also we had lots of fun contacting all of our investigators and having some amazing member work! The branch here is really small and struggling, so we're all putting a lot of emphasis on member work. As we've been doing that, God has been helping us a ton. We've been getting lots of referrals, finding new investigators, and somehow also finding less actives we didn't know existed. It's super fun.

For example! Last night we had a last-minute-miracle. We were knocking a few doors to end the night and at 8:30 we went to a house. The lady at the door said that her in-laws are Mormons! Then next thing we know Hermano Martinez comes up behind her and tells us to come in! So we do and we sit down with her (Cyndie) and Hermano Martinez's son (Javier). Come to find out that Javier is a less active member we didn't know. Then we were able to share a message and commit them to 1) come to church and 2) for Cyndie to get baptized!! So that was pretty neat. And when I say pretty neat, I mean FLIPPING AWESOME! #miracleseverywhere

It was a real tender mercy too, because Sunday was a bit rough starting out. We had an awesome week of committing like 10 people to come to church, and literally no one came. It's weird, all our investigators want to get baptized, but no one wants to come to church! Dumb. But it's all good. God's in control. :)

This week is going to be crazy cause I think we're doing a inter-zone exchange, so that's gonna be fun! More detalles to come.

Everyone have a great week and never stop praying!

Love,
Hermana Lance
