Brrrr!

hello team!

it has been another great week in the valley. strange things happened this week. it went from being 85 degrees on sunday evening to being 30 degrees tuesday afternoon. i don't know how it is possible. i haven't seen ice on a car in over a year but i saw it this week. crazy.
we are teaching amazing people right now! heavenly father is really blessing us lately.. i think because we went through some major opposition in january. the torres family is doing wonderful. they will be getting their baptism interview this sunday and then getting baptized the following. i continue to be humbled every day that i talk to them. i've never felt so much love for somebody.
we also met this cool lady named elvira and her family. they have gone through some opposition this past few years.. they were abused by their husband/father and have kind of pushed god out of their lives but they are really searching for him and are feeling the healing powers of the sacrifice of jesus christ. we invited them to be baptized. in her prayer at the end of the lesson, elvira expressed that she wanted god back in her life, and that she was so happy we met her, and that she is excited to be baptized and start a new life with god again. she is so amazing and the spirit was so strong in that lesson.
we also found these two sisters.. tammy (15) and katie (13)... they are adorable and katie reminds me a lot of me. maybe that's why i like them so much. so conceited. but anyway, we set a date for them on the 13th of march and they are just so stinking funny. i forget how much i love working with youth.
we had a miracle happen with this man named oscar. maybe i have told you about him. he is this old man who has been taught by the missionaries since early july last year and has come to church ever since. he calls us every now and again telling us that he wants to be baptized, but in the end can't because he is absolutely unwilling to quit drinking coffee. well he has been going through some humbling experiences the past few weeks and for the first time since i've known him, he has told us that he is willing to quit coffee. so we bought him this coffee substitute stuff made from garbanzo beans and he is going to give it a try and if he can show that he has really quit it, we are going to baptize him by the end of the month.
we are continually being blessed and stretched and tested and tried and blessed some more and i am so grateful to be a missionary at this time in my life and for the things i am learning about myself and about my heavenly father and about mankind. i hope that this e-mail finds everybody happy and not ice cubes from the storm this week.
nos vemos!
