Baptisms!

 
 
Wow what a week!
 
Hna Cuadra has an intestinal infection, and she refuses to take her medicine, no matter how hard i try to give it to her. so that might go well for her!
 
She was in bed for two days. sooooo for two days i was with members! It was great.  I asked one to stay with me for 6 hours and she was more than excited to do it! That day we had 6 lessons, with 5 people who were preparing for baptisms and one that we invited.  So it was a miracle and one of the biggest blessings from God I have ever received.  
 
This weekend Claudia and Wendy will be baptizedª! I am so excited.  Elder Mickle is coming to baptize Claudia, which technically she is his convert, I taught her like two lessons hahaha.
 
So we have been with Leondro and Alejandro everyday this week! They really have my heart here, no one has affected me or touched me as much as they have.  Not even Barinia, and i don´t even know why.  I feel like i knew them before, I feel like they are my favorite people in the world, i don´t even know where it came from! They other day Leondro sent a message to me, he said, ¨Thank you so much Hermana, you have helped me so much in my life, I love you!¨I almost started crying.  Then yesterday when they didn´t come to church, I practically was crying.  Now i might not be in the area for their baptism.  Guess they aren´t ready.  Pray really hard for them! I was going to fast with Leondro the other saturday, but he said he wanted to do it alone.  He is really close to God.  They have a hard life, their dad is hardly home, their mom moved out to live with someone else, and they are really humble.  But so spiritual,they are only 16 and 10 also!!! The other day Leo bought a bracelet that said, I heart USA. He was sooooo excited to show it to me! Can I just take them home with me! I really just want to spend all day everyday with them.  Hna Cuadra got kind of mad at me yesterday because I got so sad that they didn´t come to church, i ended up thinking about it all day and what not.  I don´t know, I don´t think she gets it.  Alej, the 10 year old, doesn´t really have good feelings toward Hna Cuadra, so i don´t really know what to do.  He didn´t want to talk to us the other day because she was with me.  I got him to so don´t worry.  
 
It was a long week that went by super fast! I am so surprised ti is Monday!! wow.  These other two weeks are going to speed by too.  Two more and then it is transfers.  Where am I going??????
