Okay, this past week was amazing!

On Friday night we went to I**’s home and met with her mom, F*.  She has been reading the Book of Mormon and told us that she wants to study with us.  When we arrived she said that she wants to study with us but does not want any invitations and commitments--only to study.  We went on to describe that as missionaries we will always invite (that is our job) but that we will be considerate of her desires.  We then had a marvelous lesson on the Book of Mormon.

The next day we returned to talk about 2 Nephi 31 with her.  We then had an amazing lesson on the importance of baptism.  She had many questions--especially, regarding the concept of people who die before having an opportunity to accept the gospel.  She came to church on Sunday with I** and another daughter.  I** spoke in sacrament meeting and did a fantastic job talking about faith.  F* absolutely loved church and described it as "bem diferente" (very different) and it just "felt right."   She is going to be baptized on February 22.  This is so humbling for me.  It truly is not us that teach but the Spirit.  It is all in the Lord's hands.

This has been a good week.

Love,
