This week was a big rush, we baptized 4 more people and broke the zone record! The zone record was 49 and the zone baptized 61 this month. Also, we broke the mission record with 351 baptisms in the month!

On Tuesday, we fasted with the purpose of having the Lord put in our path people who are ready to be baptized. The next day, a woman with 2 little girls passing by greeted us. I stopped her and asked if she was a member of the church. She replied “Yes, and here are my 2 daughters. I have been wanting to return to church and baptize my 2 little girls, can you help me?” Me and my companion looked to each other with a giant grin and then replied “YES!!” haha.  It was seriously a miracle from God and a response to our prayer. We baptized them the next day!

On Sunday, the mother invited her whole family who are active members from another ward to watch the confirmation. One of the relatives of the 2 girls was a return missionary who was one week off the mission from Rio de Janeiro.  He confirmed his cousins and afterwards he thanked me for what we had done with his family. I told him it wasn´t us to thank, but God for the miracle. God lives!!

I´m getting used to being a ZL, we are always super busy! Last night, the sisters called us at 9:15 at night because a miracle happened and they needed a baptism interview. We called up a member who drove us to the other area to do the interview and then be the 2 witnesses at the baptism. Without us they wouldn’t have been able to perform the baptism that day!

Love,
