Sandra!!!

Hey yall! 

Sandra got baptized this week!!! The morning of the baptism we called her and she was so excited. She got to the church about 30 minutes before her baptism and was dressed in all white. She was so ready and the spirit was so strong during her baptism. It was such a cool experience. All of her favorite people helped out with the service: her best friends gave the prayers, the bishop gave a talk, and the stake president baptized her! After her baptism, she was glowing. I will never forget this day!

The rest of our week was not the best...most of our amigos we had do not have interest anymore or have not been responding, so we are kind of starting over. However, here are some miracles I have seen:

- While we were knocking doors, we knocked on the door of a man whose sister is a member. His name is Juan. He didn't seem to have too much interest but we shared a message with him. Then, a couple days later when we were doing street contacting, we talked to a man that was outside Juan's house. Juan came home while we were talking to the other man and we taught both of them a lesson. On Sunday, we had another lesson with Juan at his sister's house. It was so fun to see them share their beliefs.

- Sunday night we didn't have much time so we decided to knock doors. We only had time to knock on 2 doors because BOTH doors we knocked on let us share a message with them!

- This week my companion and I walked past a store that has cute clothes. All week we have been talking about going on pday, so we went today. While my companion was trying on some pants I started talking to the worker. After talking to her for a minute, I found out she had interest in our message. I am excited to get to know her more, she is so awesome!

This week has honestly been rough for me. Sometimes the mission is just hard, but I listened to the talk "Wrestling with Comparisons" and it is the best! We compare ourselves with others all of the time without even realizing, but our comparison should not be with others but with ourselves. It says, "we don’t discover humility by thinking less of ourselves; we discover humility by thinking less about ourselves." I love this, as I have tried to worry less about myself and more about others I have been able to feel true happiness. I know God loves us all equally and that love never changes!!!

Have a great week!
