The First Presidancey has changed the rules, and now anyone can send me emails. and I can email anyone (family, friends, converts, priesthood leaders, etc.), so you can email me now! No promises that I will be able to write you back in the same week that you write me because we are not given time to respond, maybe just a quick message I will be able to get off, then I will write a good hand written letter. Thanks! Spread the news!
This week has been incredable! I want to tell you about Cesar. We had fast sunday last week, and as a companionship we fasted that someone would be placed in our path to be able to baptize in this month. God answered. Sunday morning Cesar miraculously showed up in church. He is 23 years old, and 4 days earlier he had been reliesed from 4 years in prision. In the prision he dedicated to reading the bible (he read whole thing about 12 times he said), and changed his way of thinking and his desires. He was well dressed and didnt carry any looks of his previous life, and in the fast and testimony meeting he stood up and bore his testimony and explained his conversion process. It seemed like he was reading straight out of Alma 36. ALL the members were touched very deeply by his pure and sincere testimony, and the whole tone of the sacrament meeting changed. It is a modern day miricle. He has a baptismal date for the 30th of this month. It is an amazng experience to be teaching Alma the younger the gospel of Christ.

Also, we found another lady who the day bofore was super depressed and contemplating sewicide, and was sittin in a park thinking things over and drinking some mate, when along came a gust of wind and a paper blew into her shoe and got stuck there. It was a paper of some church inviting all people to come unto christ through baptism. she took it for the sighn from God that it was, and the next day she was sitting in her house and felt impressed to go out front to check on what the weather was, so she went on out, and saw us two heading on down the street. She thought that we were probably sent by god too, so she called us and invited us to come into her house and teach her and her 40 year old son. So we were there teaching her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and when we got to the part of baptism and opened up the pamphlet to the part about baptism she saw the picture of Jesus geting baptized by john, and her face got really serious and she started crying. We were confused, and asked her what had happened. She responded by explaining what had happened to her the day bofore in the park, and went and got the piece of paper that had gotten lodged in her shoe, and, low and behold, it was a torne out part of the exact same page of pamphlet that we were showing her at that very moment... yeah so if you dont believe the story about Cesar, or that miricles dont happen to missionaries, try to explain this one. She accepted a baptismal date too.
