 Mi Familia!

Hi cute family. Happy to hear that everyone is doing well. I have to

start off saying thank you for your thoughts  and your prayers....

Ramber's  mom gave him permission and he is  getting  baptized this

Sunday! Oh it was the biggest miracle and the whole ward is  so

excited.  They announced it in church and the  whole  ward just gasped

haha it was the cutest thing.   We are so excited! So that  was our

big  miracle this  week. Stay tuned for pictures  next week!

The other miracle that happened this week was Sonia. We met with her

this  week and since last saturday she  has only smoked twice! And the

miracle is that she couldn''t even finish the  two that she started.

She has tried  quitting before,   but never had much  success. This

time  though,   she said that she literally felt sick  after and now

no longer  has the desires. So happy!! Sad that she is sick, but

prayer really does work! Her brother has been in  town and they have

been traveling   all over Spain so she  couldn't come to church. BUT.

He leaves tomorrow so she should  be  ready to go pronto :)

I  was spoiled rotten this week. After over a year I  got to be with

Hermana  Toone again! Oh I  love intercambios. We teach a lot better

than we did 16 months ago ;) She is such a great missionary and I feel

so grateful to have had her by my side through my whole mission. We

got to teach Nicole and Lenny when we were together and both lessons

went so well. Except they didn't come to church yesterday... We're

working on it though. We don't have much time with Nicole though

because she is going to Peru to visit her family for 2 months.

AWESOME. That's okay though she can meet with missionaries there with

her family.

We were very blessed this week with the worldwide missionary

devotional. It was amazing! One of the things I wanted to share with

you was what Elder Oaks shared. He was talking about repentance and

how when we repent, the Atonement not only CLEANSES us, but

STRENGTHENS us. It all clicked for me when he said that! Heavenly

Father knew we were going to make mistakes and guess what- we grow

from them! And that's why we are here! Heavenly Father's plan is

perfect. And I'm very grateful for repentance and hoping that I can

teach it better so my investigators understand the blessing that it

is.

That wraps it up I think. We were very blessed to find lots of new

people to teach this week that I am really excited about. We are ready

to work hard this last week of the transfer so Hermana West can finish

strong. I'm grateful to work with her and everything that she teaches

me. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!

xo,

Hermana Marsh
