miracles! (July 29)

This has been my favorite week of missionary work EVER! WE HAD ANOTHER BAPTISM!!!! So let me tell you this story. So remember how Sister Donaldson joined us, well last transfer she served in an area called Alexander heights which is in our zone and there are no missionaries there right now.  The elders were trying to cover both areas but naturally the work in Alexander slacked.  On Wednesday morning Sister Donaldson was praying and got the very strong impression that we could get a baptism that week if we were allowed to go and see one of her investigators named Reza who is from iran.  He had been taught everything, and really the only reason he wasn't baptized is because right before transfers there was some confusion about what ward boundary he was in and then the missionaries were taken out and he wasn't really visited any more.  Sister Donaldson told us about this and we decided to all pray about it and we all felt really good about it.  We had to call the AP's (who are also acting as our zone leaders right now) and our district leader and the district leader of Alexander heights area but we FINALLY got permission.  Then we ran into the problem of being out of km's... again.... we really didn't want to have to call the AP's again to ask for more but we had no way to get out there with out sacrificing our own area's work.  It was quite the problem so we called Alison (she's the miracle worker) and asked her if she could drop us off the next day and then we would ride the train back to our area after the assistants interviewed him.  we had 60 kms left at this point and we still had to get to transfers.  which is a 50 km trip.  we were freaking out needless to say.  so on Thursday we were waiting for Alison to come... and waiting... and waiting... and so finally we called her and she was like i got a flat tire!!!! crap. we had a decision to make. The AP's had promised that if we got a baptism they would give us more km's but we didn't know for sure if it was going to happen or not... Alexander heights was a 50 km trip away... we had no idea if we should risk the km's or not... so stressful! so we risked it! it was the best decision. Reza was baptized on Saturday morning and then confirmed yesterday. He is going to make the best priesthood holder and really help their ward! SO HAPPY!

next great news... we have another investigator who is golden and going to be baptized either this saturday or next.  she is the librarian for the library where i am actually emailing right now. she is amazing her name is tereza.  the elder's have been teaching her but she's been facing so much opposition from her family that she's been quite emotional... the elders got scared of that so they gave her to us to comfort her and teach her and she's amazing! she has pretty much converted herself. we are just working to have time to teach her everything before her scheduled baptism date... especially since we have transfers this week so that will be crazy. 

myles is doing amazing! he's so golden and we have set a date for him to get baptized in september, but his skin is pretty much completely better so i bet he'll get it done sooner :)

well this week has been crazy and amazing and so great! i am staying here this transfer and getting a new companion... i think her name is sister payze... but idk if it will be because her mom is new to our ward so i don't think she's allowed to serve here so that will be interesting. any way hope all is well at home!
