hey guys

Heyyyyy so it's been a couple weeks.... its about time for an update! 

It's been some fun 3 weeks out here with Hermana Matapula!! Ok here's some updates.... 

About 3 weeks ago we had 3 people on date. It was going really well, we were planning for them and making sure everything was good and them 2 of them fell off date. It was soooo sad. Buttt our friend Chris and his brother Cesar got baptized!!! It was such a special day. 

Alsoooo we met this girl named Lilly and we LOVE her! She was a "sisters request" and man is she ready! Every lesson we have with her she has great questions and you can tell that she really wants to learn and grow her faith. We invited her to be baptized and she told us she really wants to but she needs to pray about which day she wants to be baptized. That night she also brought out a bowl of rings and told us that she only give these rings to her best friends ðŸ¥º it was adorableeee. 

We have another friend named Ignacio who's from Chile and he decided to get baptized too February 11th! We are so excited for him also!! 

Javier ended up not getting baptized this week but he is progressing still! We are doing the best we can to help him stop smoking all together. So keep him in your prayers! But his testimony is growing and we know that will help with the process!! 

Those are my updates for this week :)) 

 Love yall so much and I hope you have a great week!!

And everything else I've missed! 

I'm still here in Orem YSA with Hermana Matapula and we are having a grand ole time. We have seen so many miracle these past few weeks! 

We have 3 baptisms coming up this month!! 

Chris!! He's getting baptized January 8th! He's so cool! Him and his brother are getting baptized together so that will be so special :))

Sharon!! She had a baptism date for December 17th but wanted to postpone it so ya. We met with her this week and asked her when she wants to be baptized! She said whenever she just wants to see one first! So we invited her to Chris' baptism and then we scheduled hers for January 15th! 

Javier!! He's getting baptized January 13th... his birthday!! We have seen lots of miracles with him! His faith is so strong and he has been making lots of amazing changes! Keep him in your prayers! And everyone else!!

We get to go to the temple with our friend Juli this week!!! YAY!! she scheduled it herself! She's amazing. 

We are teaching a couple more new people who are progressing fast! One is Will from Venezuela and another one is Ignacio from Chile! Keep them in your prayers also!! 

We did some exchanges with the sister in Geneva and then this week we went on exchanges with the Portuguese sisters!! That was fun, I got to brush up on my Portuguese... jk I learned some Portuguese jajaja! 

Other than that there's nothing else new!! 

I hope you all have a great week and remember GOD LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
