7 the MAGIC number!

Hola mi familia y mis amigos!!!

wow this has been the longest/shortest week of my life. I know that makes no sense but thats how i feel. I am so blessed to have an amazing companion, sister avelino. She is so hilarious and a really really good teacher. It kind of intimidates me a little but im learning so much. We are already on week 2 of the transfer and i know it will just fly. She leaves just a transfer before me so we are very close in mission age. The work is going well in our area. The other day we went running and found a #7 magnet so we decided we would find a family of 7 people. Let's keep in mind ive never baptized a family and either has sister avelino. We we've been praying for this family to find them and seriously this is what happened the next day. We were in an apartment complex contacting people and saw 3 little girls in the window so where there is children there are parents right. Well we knocked the door and there was juan who has 4 daughters and 1 son with his wife...that's right God answers prayers we found a FAMILY OF 7 PEOPLE!!!! only 2 can be baptized but its a complete family. It may take a little bit but this family will be baptized and im so excited!!! this week we are looking for a family of 5...the Lord is going to work miracles in this area with lots of hard work. This week ive gotten home and just been so exhausted and then i wake up the next morning and im still tired. Its a good feeling to know ive worked hard even though my body is tired my spirit is strong. Francisco our recent convert came out with us last night to teach. He did incredible!!! we went to the appointment we had and the man started making up excuses. Well francisco bore his testimony and it was incredible!!! the man's whole appearance changed. I know he felt the spirit testifying of the things francisco was saying. He received the priesthood on sunday...i couldnt be happier. He's like luis's twin...such good men so if any of you are looking for a husband i have 2 guys that are single the only thing is you will have to learn spanish:) haha. Well that is basically my week...the mission is an incredible experience and i wouldnt change my life for the world right now. I know time is flying but im working hard and the Lord has richly blessed me.
I love you all...take care...trust the Lord.
