Week 14 (Manantiales 2)

Wow! 18 missionaries!!! Way to go Ft. Wayne Stake!! Woop woop!! I have an ATM here where I live and the way I get my monthly money is by taking it out of their debit card in an ATM, so if you can, would you mind sending me another id holder? That would be wonderful and I would be ever so grateful! If you don't I would be ever so grateful nonetheless. So you don't have to activate it there. Love the pictures! Looks like Garrett was having fun with his buds playing video games, and comfy too, haha. Hiya Corb! You girls all look so cute in the snow! How's shoveling it? Guess what? I shoveled too! Haha. We were walking down the street and there were these people shoveling this sort of raised area that was on the side of the road and it was dirt. So Hna. Cuevas asked if we could help. And boy did we help!! We were shoveling dirt on the side of the road in our skirts and I am pretty sure it was a sight to see!! We talked to them while we were shoveling and about our message and now we have them as investigators and they seem really great and promising!!! It was such a great and humbling experience because at first I was like, I can't shovel in a skirt, but now I realize that service is more important than convenience. I HAVE A BAPTISM ON SATURDAY!!!!!!!!! He is seriously golden! Hermana Cuevas and I started teaching him together so it is so cool to have the whole missionary experience with somebody!! I can't wait to see him get baptized!! It has been such a privelage to teach somebody like Jhovany, he has the Spirit with him and it is so great hearing him say that he knows that this church is true. We have a teaching appointment with him right after this and I am looking forward to it!! Don't have much more time, but I just want to say that I love you all and pray for you regularly. Stay true to the gospel and make it your number one priority. By doing this you will recieve so many more blessings in your lives. I know The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church of Christ and only through the gospel can we know what we need to do to return with our Heavenly Father once again with our eternal families. 
Also missionary work can be exhausting sometimes, take care not to fall asleep praying everybody!  By the way, this is me, sleeping, actually sleeping. This was not staged. Just ask Hermana Cuevas.
Stay true, stay strong, and stay excellent!
