Wow glasses... that's crazy Mom haha. That is awesome about the Temple. I want to go to the temple and do work but I can't here hahah.

This week was a pretty good week. We went to help out Jardines so we were there and helped them find some new people as well as help them in there companionship. We have been really working hard and had two interviews but they didn't tell us they smoked when we taught them the commandments and didn't pass so we were pretty sad because it has been like that the whole time and I was a little frustrated because we are working but everything seemed to fall through and I feel like we won't Baptize. I was talking with my comp and some other missionaries in the Zone about how I feel like everything has been falling through for us and I got some advice that I hadn't really thought about and that is I should pray that God will help me with my personal goal of now in my misión and so I talked with him through my prayers and well the next day we had a cita with a fecha and he told us that on this Saturday he wants to get baptized! I was thanking Heavenly Father for that anwsered prayer because I had been really working and working and nothing and now I have seen his hand. That morning before the cita I read a scripture that said in Alma 55 that we need to always remember him even through our struggles and like the Nephites we can have victory over a bigger army because we are with God. I can't remember the exact scripture or the exact verse but it was good and it was right and I just keep seeing these answers in my life and its so clear to me that it is the answer. That is something I have really learned because I have been reading about the wars in the Book of Mormon and the Nephites won due to having trust in god and we too will have power over our enemies.
