A New Transfer!

HEY!!!!!!!
well, it´s a new transfer! and my comp and i are both staying here:) yes, it´s a good thing! we´ve got some great investigators and set goals that we are going to reach!
sunday was a fantastic day! well... It was pretty much horrible outside, rainy and windy( it´s the wind that gets me) but it didn´t even matter how ridiculously cold it was, the day was still wonderful. wanna know why? cuz Paola got baptized, and Lorenzo received the Arronic Priesthood!
First of all, Paola... she called us Saturday evening and was like, Hey, I can´t get baptized tomorrow cuz my husband says that he´ll kick me out of the house if i do! so we went to talk to her, and her husband, out of the blue, came home the night before and said that to her,and that Mormons worship Satan and we steal babies. he told her we were only there to take their little girl! ( that´s one that i´ve seriously never heard before) and she started to doubt. she knows we aren´t satanic, and she already got her answer that the church is true, but Satan always seems to creep in when their about to be baptized. anyways, we talked to her and told her she just had to pray. We reminded her that she already felt the spirit confirm that it´s true and God will bless her for doing what she knows is right no matter how scary it seems. so she said, ¨well, come by in the morning and I´ll let you know if i´m getting baptized for sure.¨
Oh, you don´t even know how nerve-wracking that night was! but when we went by in the morning to pick her up for church, there she was, and she said she was waiting for her sister to get ready and she would see us there! and then she came! and the baptism was fabulous! and guess what! her husband came!!!! he was there for her baptism, and a talk after, and ate cake with us. It was a miracle! and then afterward, they gave the elders a ride to their house and her husband invited them to come visit them!
I was flabbergasted! but yeah, it was a wonderful day. oh, i didn´t tell you about Lorenzo! He is seriously Golden! you don´t even know how great this kid is! he walked to church in the freezing cold, and we were leaving to go pick up an investigator when he got there, so he said, oh i´ll come with you! ( the investigator lives close to him so he knows her) and we walked all the way back to his house. we went to get her and he had to grab something, so we were going to pick him up in the taxi but there wasn´t room, so he told us to just go, and he walked all the way back to the church in the rain again to be there for sacrament meeting! and he sat by our investigator and helped them with their hymn books and everything!
to be continued.. i gotta go!
love you all!
Happy B-day to JD, and Brooklynne, and Brogan!!!!
