Wow so this
week was seriously one of the best of my whole LIFE!!!!

| This is supposed to be a district mug shot...missionaries aren't too well practiced at that |
Here's why:
On Friday we
had a seriously miraculous break through with Id AND her husband Juan
Carlos! We have been meeting with Id for awhile and she has been just
right on the verge of setting a date for baptism, but she is just a little
scared of taking that big step. Her husband is actually the brother of
one of the members in our ward, and we have taught him only a few times and he
never really seemed very interested like his wife. Friday we had a lesson
with them both at the church, and we had planned to teach el espiritu santo y
preseverar hasta el fin, but the conversation just turned right to
baptism. We asked Id about it and she said that after she dropped us off
after our lesson we had the week before with her, she just couldn't stop
thinking about it. She said "Could I still get baptized on October
3rd?" Umm YESSSS!!!! Then we turned to Juan who had been a lot
more quiet and asked him if he would like to prepare for baptism with her, and
to everyone's surprise, he said YES. We couldn't believe it! Id even
asked "are you sure?" and he said "yes I am." I
seriously could barely stay in my chair! Sigh...it was a good night.
Their journey is still not going to be easy, but it really was the miracle we
had been praying for.

We finally
found Hazel and Jorge. Turns out she
hadn't been avoiding us like we thought, but her phone is totally busted and I
guess we just went by at the wrong times. Phew...so we talked with them
about baptism as well because Hazel had a date for sept. 5th, but she really
wanted Jorge to do it. It wasn't looking like that was going to happen,
but we had a talk with them and Hazel is going wait while Jorge gets ready so
that way they can prepare to be an eternal family together:) aww. But
then our ward mission leader said just to baptize her anyways...so now we are
confused on what to do....

| No kissing allowed Hna Bonny!! |
On Saturday
I got permission from President Ames to go back to Lewisville and see David's
baptism. Oh my goodness it felt
like a family reunion! Everyone was there. The wankiers, hatfields, zamoras, Hna
Taele, the Stuckis, Magda, David...ahh! It was amazing! The whole time I was
just thinking, "Man what would have happened if we would have just kept
riding our bikes? We really almost went right past him. I feel like my favorite
scripture just keeps playing through my head "through small and simple
means are great things brought to pass". So true. No effort is ever wasted. I love you
all and I love this gospel!
Luv Hermana Bonny
