I don't even know how how to describe this week besides un gran milagro because truly it was an incredible week!!
Okay so to start off we have these investigators Ivette and nicole, a mother and daughter who have been taught for the last 4 months and for a while now our lessons have been focused on baptism. This week was the last week of the transfer which means also my training and me and Hermana Green really really were hoping we would be able to have a baptism together and so at our lesson we decided that we were going to invite them to be baptized for Sunday if we feel they were prepared. So we get there and the Spirit has never been so strong, for one of the first times i really feel like i was just the mouthpiece for the spirit and they said so many things that confirmed to us that they were so prepared to be baptized! so we asked them to be baptized that upcoming sunday and invited them to pray and ask if that is what they should do, be baptized that sunday! So the next day me and Hermana Green decided to fast and that same day Hermana Green realized that she had taken their book of mormon! haha no bueno so ofcourse we went and returned it and when we got their they were so just happy! and they gave us these sweet little presents and then we left to go to a meeting with the missionaries and our bishop.
okay so at this meeting we were talking to our bishop about this and he was saying well why not they get baptized on Friday with George! okay so george is one of the Elders investigators adn he is the sweetest man in the world!! anyways and so we said we woudl continue to pray adn he didi to, he was like okay we are all going to pray for this adn he was so happy! Now the next day we were going to have a family home evening at a member house and so we went their so we could drive with them and asked them about baptism again (also we had just ended our fast) Ivette looked at us with a big grin on her face and said that the night prior after we left she said that she just felt so happy and wanted to be baptized adn then that night she had a dream where she recieved her answer! it was an absolute miracle and we were so so so so happy for her!! and so we invited her to be baptized on Friday and said yes!!!It honestly was the most amazing day of my life and we know that this would not have happened with the help from our Father in Heaven! Also one more miracle happened this day, the Elders have another investigator names Josue who has been taught everything but just didn't want to commit to baptism, but he came adn our Bishop was talking to him and he said that he wanted to be baptized so our district leader once again ran to the church to give the interview he was also baptized! Honestly such an incredible day for the Cabo Rojo 1 barrio truly so many miracles:) Also it was mine and the elders first baptism so that made it even more special we all were so so happy all day! So me and Hermana Green were able to hae a baptism togehter 2 days before transfers!!
Also this week I really just saw the Lords hand in my life, ofcourse through this gran milagro but also through little things! I am now done with my training and this week i have recieved so many answers to prayers that I have been praying for throughout my training, it truly seemed like things just felt to good this week and I testify that our father in heaven is listening to our prayers adn will always answer us, this is something that i have seen this week as i was brought so much comfort in the little things!
Im sorry this was such a long email but real quick funny story: yesterday us, the elders and our ward mission leader got locked in the church for over an hour with no cell service! haha it was so funny!
TRANSFERS
Okay so transfers were so crazy, I am staying in the same house but i am being transferred to the other area in Cabo Rojo that is usually just elders, so now really me and my new companion Hermana Daylee will be white washing! ahhhhhh And my comp/trainer Hermana Green is training again and the elders in Cabo Rojo 1 have also been transfereed to the other area and so all in all it was crazy! I still can't really believe it but I am just so grateful for the week that we had especially finding out I will no longer be in my sweet Cabo Rojo 1 who I love so so much, honestly it kinda hurts thinking that I am leaving wards but we know that he has a plan, this is something that we can all ALWAYS take and find comfort in!
love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week!!
siempre con mucho amor, Hermana Zimmerman
