Ok...first off ive gotta ask so I remember. Did you get my email last week? It sent me a lot of failure notices but I never know. So can you let me know if you are getting emails every week? You should be...I write them.. Anyway ok also yes I will be able to call next Sunday, we totally spaced that Mothers day was so close until a couple of days ago when some Elders reminded us. Whoops. So I should have started coordinating with you last week. I think your church is at 1..but Im not sure. So I'm planning to call at 5. The mission president has emailed us and reminded us to remind our families that the phone call can only be 30 minutes. So yeah we can talk from 5:00-5:30. I hope thats ok. Sorry I wasnt able to ask last week. Uh. yeah. I dont really know who to call...so I guess Ill just call until I find one that someone answers haha. Im the only one who didnt have to figure out the time difference. Hahaha. I dont know why its so funny to me.
Anyway this week has been good. We have two people with baptismal dates and one family that is progressing really well. Hna Frost goes home like the last day of May and we have really been praying to find someone for May. Well time is getting short and they have to go to church 3 times and we have toteach all the lessons and they have to keep the word of wisdom for atleast 3 weeks. So yeah. Anyway so the other day we get a call from the Hermanas in the ward near ours...they had a refferal for us. I guess a guy from Oxnard got baptized 3 years ago and moved to Utah and is married and everything. Well he was visiting and gave the spanish missionaries his moms name and number. Well she lives in our area. So we went to visit her. When we went she answered the door but she was crying because I guess she got in a fight with her son or something. Well we talked to her a few minutes, gave her a hug and asked if we could come back. We set up an appointment. A few days later the daughter-in-law called (who doesnt speak spanish..so sad) and said that her mother in law had written and was really excited to know more. I guess she has been wanting to know more for a while. So anyway we had our appointment with her that week and we just kinda got to know her and told her what we do as missionaries. (OH side note she has a hearing problem so we have to make sure she can see our lips when we are talking to her). Finally we asked her if after she knew these things were true if she would get baptized. She said yes, and not only did she say yes, she LIT UP! Ah! It was so awesome, she said she would prepare to get baptized on the 28th of May. WOO HOO! She is a heavenly gift and she is just so amazing. I just love her.
Another miracle we had this week was one of the new converts Antonio...well he works 2 jobs and he can come to church because one of his jobs gives him 2 hours to come to work. Well Sunday he came up to us and told us that he was going to the 3rd hour and that he had quit his job and got a new one so he could go to all 3 hours of church. Now his only day off is Sunday and he is working in the strawberry fields which is such HARD work, and he had away better job. Its such a faithful sacrafice and I was so amazed from someone who had just got baptized a month and a half ago!
We went down near the ocean today, we can't go too close but its amazing!!! I love the ocean so much.
Sorry I dont have much time right now! I love you all very much and Im so proud of the family I have! So I guess I'll be talking to you next Sunday! (weird).
Tell the Ward I said Hi!
