Baptism!

    The Lee's were baptized on March 8, 2014!!! Probably one of the best feelings ever! So the service was supposed to start at 6:30, but to Spanish people that are Mormons that actually means 7. so we didn't start till 7! We had a surprise guest there, our mission president, talk about intimidating! After the ordinance Cynthia and Carlos had the opportunity to give their testimonies, and it was great! They were so sincere, I might have teared up a little bit! They are the best! 
    Before the Baptism we had a temple shift, and boy was it hot that day! (hence my bad hair in the pictures) but we went to buy them a little gift. We bought them the Book of Mormon with pictures; they were so happy! On Sunday they were confirmed Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and were given the Gift of the Holy Ghost! Now we are helping Hannah, (the little girl by me) be prepared for baptism! Saturday was such a great day full of Miracles! 
    During our temple shift we met this Chinese man, not sure what his name in mandarin is, but the English translation is Horse. So he lives next to the temple and was walking with his son, he was so intrigued by the temple, he wants to learn more about the Church, and is ready! He kept saying "I'm Ready for your mission, call me, I'm ready." It's crazy how the Lord prepares people for us! We didn't even have to ask him if he wanted to learn more he told us to go to his house and teach him. We had to give him to the Mandarin Sisters, hopefully they see him soon! 
    The week went by so quickly because we are already on week 4 of the transfer, and there are 6 weeks in a transfer, so my companions will be leaving in 2 weeks! It's crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had Zone meeting, which means, all the missionaries in our Zone get together and we talk about things we can improve as a zone, so this is my zone! (pictured below) They are all great! It's a tradition that whoever is leaving this transfer has to give their testimony, so my companions, Sister Rex and Benfield, had to give theirs and I couldn't hold it in, I started to cry! I'm going to miss them so much! I'm freaking out because I don't know what i'm going to do when they leave? I will be in charge of the area and its very very stressful, but I know I can do it and I know the Lord will help me! 
    This week was great we met so many new people and we had so many lessons!!!!! Since we are in the Battalion half of our day we aren't in our areas, so that means less time teaching people, but we had about 19 lessons this past week, that's our record high! It was crazy awesome! 
    I'm learning so much here! Although it may be tiring and hard, I couldn't be happier. Seeing people change, seeing the blessings that come from living the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and seeing the Atonement of Jesus Christ help others, is what helps me wake up in the morning. We all have the responsibility to help others come closer to Christ, to build the kingdom of God on this earth, so lets get to work! There's no time to waste, that's what I've learned the most! We have such a limited time, and there's so much to do! I know that the Church that Jesus Christ established when he was on the Earth, is here once again, for the very last time. That the church has been restored by a Prophet called by God, whose name was Joseph Smith, and now today we have the fullness of his gospel, and the evidence is the Book of Mormon. As you read, ponder, and pray, you will know the truthfulness of this gospel because the Holy Spirit will testify to you that it is. My life has been so blessed because of this gospel! I know it, I live it, and I Love it! I'm a MORMON!
