Week 67: Sister Gonzales is leaving me :(

Maayong aga sa inyo tanan!

This past week was pretty awesome! So many miracles and and I would just like to share one miracle. So back when my area was still big I was teaching 2 part-member families and they were preparing to get baptized. But there were some issues that needed to be resolved in order to get them prepared for this sacred ordinance and promise they make with our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. I'm so happy that even though it took a while, the time finally arrived that they were both able to enter into the waters of baptism. And what makes it even better was that they were baptized and the same day and at the same time! Wow even though we expected one of them to get baptized sooner, I know it was a tender mercy that they were both able to be baptized the same day, especially since it was Sister Gonzales last Saturday in [this area] because she's transferring! Wow I'm going to miss her so much but I know it's by revelation that she was my longest companion and will be my longest companion. I'm so grateful to you Sister Gonzales for teaching me so much and I'll miss you so much. I know that the Lord has a lot planned for us in our missions and I'm so grateful for all this time that I've been whole-heartedly serving my Savior. Palangga ko kamo kag pasensya (I love you all and sorry) this is really short and I don't have pictures, I forgot my card reader 😞

Have an awesome week!
