God is really pushing me to grow my faith

Buenos Días:)

What a week! God is really pushing me to grow my faith and trust in Him, as well as gain a stronger testimony of the gospel. It seems like we are just having Trial to Miracle after Trial to Miracle. It´s been amazing to see how God tests and tries our faith so that it can grow stronger, and how if we pressforward in Him, He blesses us with so many miracles. 

Wilder - Wilder Padre se bautizó!!!! His bautismal service was held last night in the chapel. It was so special for many reasons. First because they have waited for so long for him to be able to get baptised. At least a year if not more. So this baptism really meant a lot for their family. Second because the sister missionary that found them on the street is now in this ward and she was able to be there for the baptism. She gave a talk and later she came up to me and said "Hard work really does pay off." After the baptism Wilder and Monica also came up to me and Wilder was saying that as he bore his testimony after the baptism he just felt the spirit so strong, like he´d never felt it like that before in his life. It was so special and they are so excited to continue on. 

Valentin - He´s doing so awesome. This week he had his baptismal interview and he passed:) He also had an interview with the bishop of the ward so that he could get to know him better and that went really well. The members are so involved with him and it is a really amazing thing to see. They are all very excited for his baptism and really helping him out in so many ways. He is now hopefully going to be staying with Bartolomé, our recent convert, and some other members of the ward are helping us get some of his paperwork done so that he can start looking for a job. He´s so prepared for baptism and his testimony is so strong. We talked to him this week about his earring. His earring was his mom´s who died when he was fourteen. He´s worn it for 7 years and his sister has the other one. When we told him about the counsel of the prophet to not where them he just replied "No pasa nada." He then told me that before his baptism he was going to take it out and give it to me! He said that when return (hopefully when he goes through the temple/on a mission) I can bring it back. That just made me really happy. With him we have passed through so many trials, and yet so many miracles. All of the experiences we´ve had with him have really changed me. So keep praying for Him and for all of these situations so that they can be worked out. I know God will answer us:)

These are the highlights from this week. We´re working with quite a few other people and they keep us pretty busy. We´re also trying to work more with the ward and the bishop is helping us a lot in that. We´re now going to be praying a lot to figure out who to really focus on. Kent right now is praying and fasting to know when he should be baptised, and Mirta is doing the same so that she can be able to come to church. Our sunday mornings are crazy now because we have to go pick up Alexia (recent convert), Ainhoa (her little sister) and Naomi (investigar) because none of there parents can come, but it´s fun. 

Thank you all for everything and please keep praying!
