D&C 84:88

And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.

So this week was fantastic! We have four people with a baptismal date! It has been so amazing to see people take that first step and start making changes necessary for baptism. We have one guy that we've been teaching for a while now who just accepted a baptismal date and he is going to try to quit smoking and drinking coffee. He has two little girls who are just adorable. One is four and the other is 7 but her birthday isn't until August so we're hoping that one day her dad will be ready to baptize her. When we were talking with him about the word of wisdom his daughter, the seven year old, told him he needed to stop smoking and drinking coffee. It was so cute to see her so determined to tell her dad he couldn't keep dong those things. She keeps telling us she wants to be baptized. She is so smart, she's reading in Apocalypse right now in the Bible and is very concerned with what will happen when Jesus comes again. But i think she's starting to worry less. We're also teaching a little family who just melt my heart. They have prayed to know if the church is true and the other night we went by just to see how they were doing and asked them if they'd gotten an answer and the boy who is eleven said, I know its true! He said it so boldly it made me want to cry. I am so grateful the Lord has blessed me so much to be here. I keep thinking how much my mission has helped me prepare for the future and it amazes me. And I still have time to keep learning and having wonderful experiences. More and more I am coming to appreciate the family I've been blessed with. Things are so different here I just feel so much gratitude for the mercy Heavenly Father has showed me and continues to show me.
