Dear Friends and Family,

This week was another great week!! There are many miracles happening here. One of the greatest miracles from this last week was that Tyson, Julia (his mom) and Carla (his girlfriend) all came to church! Julia has been in Mexico for a month or so but came back here for good. She seems to have a new fire built in her for the gospel an seems to be reactivating which is very exciting! (she hadn't been to church since she was baptized 20 years ago except for the time when Tyson was baptized.) They are planning on coming to church this Sunday and also to the ward party we are having after Eva gets baptized this Saturday!

Also this last week we found out how really strong Eva's testimony is. After the baptismal interview we found out that her husband is "okay" with her getting baptized but would really rather she didn't. The same with her whole family, and in fact they've been trying to talk her out of it a little bit. But Eva is so awesome and has a very solid testimony of the gospel. She has made up her mind, and she's not going to change it. She says she feels prepared and ready. :) We are also going to bring Hermano morales over to there house next time to help and be friends with Geraldo (Eva's husband). The Morales family is super awesome and always ready to help with missionary work.

This week we are also having a Zone Conference and Elder Corbridge from the Seventy is going to come.

I love you all and hope you all have a great week!!

Dear Family,

I forgot to write one other miracle in the other email!! This was an amazing miracle. Its one of those miracles that every missionary hopes for.

We went to Fort Hancock to visit Catalina Soto. She has been very very prepared! We had given her a blessing last Monday for health. When we went back to talk to her on Thursday she told us that when she went to the Doctor he told her she had very clean blood. And asked if she had been to another doctor or taken different pills. She then continued to bear her testimony to us about how she found us. She was actually the one that contacted us. She said she would have never had the courage to yell across the street like she did, but she felt like she really needed to. She said she feels like it has been a miracle for her to find us and to hear the message of the Restoration. She has been to church the last two weeks and loves it. :)

This was a great testimony building experience that shows the great power of the Priesthood and also how God is preparing people all around us to hear the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.
