Hello dearest everybody!!! Una semana maravillosa!

This week Marina was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The very last lesson we had before her baptism, she told us that before she met us and started learning everything, she was visiting the psychologist almost every week because she had extreme depression and anxiety attacks after her separation with her husband.  She was taking a bunch of pills but she told us she visited the psychologist for the first time in awhile a few weeks ago and her psychologist told her he didn´t know why, but all the symptoms that she had of depression before, were gone, and that she could stop taking the pills he had given her. It reminded me of Emma from La Union. After her confirmation Sunday, we were eating lunch with her in the home of a member (the members are great and have really helped us make her feel welcome here), we were talking about her baptism and she started crying all of a sudden and she just kept saying that she was so happy and she didn´t know why she hadn´t listened to "those Mormon kids" earlier.  One of the members said he always thought the same thing, that before he would always see "those Mormon kids" and think "they´re just wasting their time".  And here he is two years later, a very faithful member of the church. 

Catalina also came to the baptism and then came to church the next day and loved both!  I was praying so hard that she would like church, because what normal 21 year old voluntarily spends three hours in church on a Sunday morning, but she loved it and started crying during one of the talks and later said it was just for her, because the speaker was talking about loving your family as they are, which is exactly what she is trying to do, because her father is alcoholic, and it´s caused many problems in her family.  It was an answer to a prayer.  Also she´s dating a member of the church.  His name is Juan Bautista.  John Baptist.  Can we just revel in how perfect that is.

I didn´t have much time this week, I´ll write more next week love you all!
