DOUBLE BAUTISMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, can i just say I love being a missionary! The Church is true!
Luis
Luna and Diana Peñaherrera got baptized! It was defiantly the most
powerful baptism i have ever had! Luis asked me to give a little talk in
the bap. I cried, he cried, Diana cried, we all cried! Afterwards Diana
came up to me and that me for being her missionary! Luis said, "I told
you not to cry!" There confirmation blessings were beautiful too! Diana
is going to be an amazing leader in the church! Luis is going to serve a
mission! I will do anything to get him there. We are planning a temple
trip on my bday!
Gabriel is SUPER Excited for his Baptism this saturday!
We
had an activity in the ward we all the leaders and visiting teachers
and people went out and visited the less actives and some converts and
invest. Pres Riggins (the most
powerful missionary you will ever meet!) came to join me and Hna Whisenant with our visits. It was the
coolest experience to teach with the Him! He´s powerful and mind
blowing. And i could tell he really enjoyed our teaching( he was nodding
his head in approval while i was teaching, made me feel awesome)!
Called us his Daughters in one lesson!
Hna
Riggins told me that in her mission one of her nephews was born.
Everyday her sister showed a picture of her to her nephew and said,
"this is aunt Bonnie, aunt Bonnie is in her mission, Aunt bonnie loves
you!" We she got back the baby already new here and loved her! If leah
could that with me and Lincoln that would be awesome!!!
With lots of love!

Hello!
Im doing great!! We will have 2 baptism this
saturday!!! Diana Peñaherrera and Luis Luna! I dont know if you guys
remember Luis Luna, I had dropped him 2 weeks a go and last sunday he
said he wanted us to teach him again. So we went over to his house last
tuesday and i was prompted to ask him who is God for him, he told us
that he knows that God is his father and he is His son! I was then
prompted to ask Will you be baptized the 24 of Jan. He looked me
straight in the eys and said "Yes, Hna, I want to be baptized!" He is 18
and has had some troubles but the gospel is blessing his life!
Diana
just esta the gospel up! She takes notes during church and tells us she
loves us! Gabriel Avilez is also excited for his baptism! he will be
baptized the 31 of enero!
Its been raining a
little here! The heavy rains haven't started though. At this time there
are full crickets! There are huge here and gross....
Lots of love!

Hi mom!!!
Im doing great! This week has been a really good one! It started out a little shaky but it ended really well!
We
have an invest called, Diana Peñaherrera, She had her baptismal
interview Sunday. When she walked out she had tears in here eyes came up
to me gave me a hug and handed me her baptismal record just a way of
saying "I really want to do this!" We stood there hugging me for
awhile.
We also contacted a random guy called,
Gabriel Avilez(25), he attended church only because we invited him to.
later that Sunday we visited for the first time and accept a baptismal
date!
Later that day we received a reference (Segundo Israel, husband and father of 2 kids) and as we were talking to
him getting to know him the Lord let me see, just for a few seconds, him
wearing white baptizing one of his kids! That was amazing experience!
We are going to continue to work with him more! Im excited to see what
happens with him!
I Love being a missionary! Its the best thing ever!
Im
happy to hear everyone is doing great! Happy to hear that the church is
growing back at home! Happy to hear that Leah is bigger than I am!
Hahaha Love you leah beah! The rain should start really soon!
With much love,

Hello!
So
i had an awesome new yearas! In Ecuador the people are crazy and they
party even crazier! SO here they have a traditions here where they burn
something called a manegote. which is a huge model of something or one
made out of newspaper with fireworks in it. they can be the size of a
cat to like 12 ft tall or even taller. Everybody in all of ecuador burns
theirs at 12:00
in the night, it was like world war 3 going on for like 5 hours! Im not
going to lie it was the coolest new year I have ever had! we watch the
people burn them from the safety of hour house! needless to say I didnt
get any sleep that night.
It
snowed?!?! What!!! Im sweating like a Pig and it snowed in Arizona for
the first time since before i was born! Thats not fair... But Awesome!
Right
now we are refining our teaching pool and looking for new poeple to
teach. some of our invest arent progressing anymore and we had two days
this last week where we went around as a zona, through out the whole
zone, just contacting. It was awesome! So hopefully we will have new
people soon! We do have one pretty solid invest, Diana Peñaherrera.
She´s 28 and loves attending church and understands the teachings really
well! We will see how everything goes with her!
I love you all lots!
