April 1, 2019 (Week 78)

This week was full of Karma! A karmalizing week!

We started off good with the new transfers coming without much of a hitch.  Over eight sister missionaries arrived in the mission this transfer, and in order to accommodate/train all of them we've had to open up many new areas.  Before our zone had three companionships of sister missionaries, but now nearly half of our zone are Hermana's!  Pretty crazy change, but the other zone in the stake still doesn't have any sister missionaries, hehe, maybe on the next transfers they'll get lucky!

Anyways, the three teenagers we were teaching have had a bit of a rough time, it is hard when your family goes against you for wanting to join the church.  But its alright, we hope that with some time they will be able to come through.  Another investigator we had just put a baptismal date with is moving to Morelia, in another state!  Oh well, she'll still get baptized on the same date out there, so in the end its all good.  However we had a big miracle this week, when we received a reference out of nowhere for a sister who "really wants to get baptized.." Well it turns out that she is called Ruth and it was a self reference she did herself, and she does really, really want to get baptized!  If you could all pray for her so we can help her find a different work so she can get to church on Sunday mornings.

Anyways, lots of ups and down this week, but the most beautiful part, as always, is that it is all part of the Lord's plan!

Love you all, have a great week!
