Noche Blanca-Maracaibo Guayaquil Week Eighty Seven

This week was a very stressful week, but at the end had a super satisfying results. 

Conference

Every conference weekend I always learn so much and find ways to improve myself as a missionary and as a person. The quote or saying that I liked the most from this conference was "He was the best leader, because he was the follower most faithful" or something like that. I am not sure I was watching it in Spanish. The talks were great and our investigadors really enjoyed listening to prophets and apotoles in the actuality. They felt the spirit and learned many new things. 

Baptisms

After the second session on Sunday we were able to have 2 baptisms, but in total 13 people got baptized that night. What a great experience was to be a part of that night. Nayeli Chillambo and Edder Saltos got baptized that night. Me and my companion both dressed in white to be able to baptize. I will send pictures so that eveyone can enjoy it. IT was a great spiritual experience for everyone and everyone had a great time and felt the spirit.

The Elders and their new converts

Love the smiles


Investigators.

We have many investigators here in Maracaibo and we need for prayer on behalf of them. 

-Javier y Diana. They are a couple that we have been teaching and they have plans to get married and then get baptized in the following weeks. The marriage is set for the 21 of April and the baptism that very day. 
-Armando is a friend of a recent convert. Before he listened to the missionaries but they just stopped passing by. He is super excited and has come to know that the church is true. His baptism is for the 16 of this month. 
-Josue has gone to church the last couple week with a family from the ward. He is unsure about a couple things but has the desire to be baptized. We are working with him to put a goal and then he got do it. 
Jordan is a young man that miraculously went to the conference on Sunday. He had cancer about a year ago and he has a friend, who is a member of the church, that has been helping him cope with his problems. His friend sent him to the church that day and he really enjoyed it. He will be getting baptized the 23. 
Bigs things are coming here. We need your prayers and support so that all can become members of the church.
Thanks for all the love and support!
