one year mark!

Hello family and friends!!!

Thanks for all of your emails and cards! This last Friday i hit my 1 year mark so Hna Lebaron and i went to the temple. Then the next day we brought our investigators there and walked around it, explaining the importance of families and being with them forever. It was a really neat experience to go there with our investigators, because that's really our goal for them: that they make it to the temple. 

This week we had a really cool experience. So there's this lady named Guadalupe who isn't a member, but her husband is. And she's been coming to church for a while now. Her in laws are all members, but she and her kids aren't members. And every once in a while we ask her if we can stop by and share a message with her and her family. but she always would say the same thing: that she is not ready and doesnt want anyone to visit her or pressure her. so we kind of just left her on her own...until yesterday. she came up to us and said, "Estan listas?" (ready?) and she told us that she was ready to be baptized. that was a really neat miracle because we had been praying for a miracle. 

i know that miracles do happen. if they didn't then God would cease being God. And that is why we need to have faith and expect miracles. Miracles are such an intregal part of teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and they are truly manifestations of the divine power of God. The greatest of all miracles is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He lives, I know that my Redeemer lives. 

have a great week!
