June 1st, 2015 -Hna Georgina got baptized!

Hey! Wow it was such a busy week here in Tampico!! We really had things do every single day! Which made it be such a quick week, and the weeks are already quick enough! We had a couple meeting with President for the end of the new missionaries, because transfers are the next week, and it was super great to hear from the leaders of the mission!! They are always so powerful! We also had..... OUR BAPTISM!!!! It was super great and went super smoothly!! Hna Georgina and her son got baptized! He’s 8 so it doesn’t count as our convert, but we had to teach them everything and get them prepared, so half ours!;) It was a great experience! With my first comp, he told me it’s super hard to find someone and have them be baptized with the same comp because they have to go to church 5 times!! Well the help of the Lord somehow we did it with them!! Must have been made de oro.. or gold! We also had another experience that stuck out to us both!! We have this investigator named Ana! She’s great and she’s of a part member family also that less actives and we had no idea that she wasn’t a member!! We started asking the family who we could teach and they told us her.. we were kinda shocked and begin to teach her!! We gave her a Book of Mormon and she read 3 Nephi 11 when Christ comes to America and then she asked our Heavenly Father in a prayer if it was true, she told us that she didn’t get an answer in that moment but as the night continued she felt that someone was with her! Her husband works the night shift so she sleeps alone and as the night went one she felt that someone was with her and she felt calm and peace! She took that to be her answer and wants to continue to learn more! I’ve also seen this week that Satan is trying to stop the Lord’s work!! He can’t stop him, nor will he be able to ever! I’m so grateful for the Holy Ghost in my life and to see it bless the lives of others!! He’s real and is sent from our Heavenly Father! When we do our part we receive this help from the Holy Ghost, from our loving Heavenly Father!! So many things happened this week and this letter doesn’t do this week justice with all the things that happened!! I love you guys and sounds like you had a good week!!! Boys keep working hard on the bball!! Have a fantastic week!! Love, Ky

May 26th, 22015 - Temple Day

Where do I start! It was such a great week this last week!! It was super busy with things to do every day!! First we went to the temple today so that’s why we are writing today!! I love the temple and the special spirit that you can feel when you are there!! It’s great that we have one so close to us in Idaho!!! Well today I wanted to tell you a little bit about the last couple weeks!!! Well we have a baptism this Saturday!!!!!! Han Georgina!!! She’s going to be baptized and her son that is 8! We will see if the husband has the priesthood to see if he can baptize them but if he can’t we are going to have one of the older sons from the other marriage baptize them!! They are going to come from Mexico City and also Guadalajara!! It will be super special!! I haven’t done this family justice in my letters to you guys!! They are so wonderful!! We met them on the bus and it’s been every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at... 4:30 those days!!! They haven’t missed once!! We always get a little pop and bread after!!! It’s a little bonus!;)They are so amazing! We have been visiting them for 6 weeks!! They have only missed church once because they had the flu!! All of them, but rather than that, not once!! She passed her interview last Saturday so she will be baptized at 5 this Saturday!! It will be such a great and spiritual experience!! I’m not really sure how to put it into words!! I’m so grateful for them and really do love them!! We also had an amazing experience this last week!! Early in the week we were passing a street and a couple guys stopped us and asked us where we were going!! We told them for a lesson and they asked us what we were going to teach, so we told them and got to know them!! One just returned from his mission and the other just got baptized about three weeks ago!! They live in the area that’s right next to us so we said good bye and went on our way!! A couple days later we were passing the same street and we ran into them again!! We talked a little and out of a joke we asked them when they were going to go with us to teach a couple lessons, and then it made them think!! They told us, well I do have a friend in your area and we could go see him another day!! So he got our number and we left!! That night he sent us the address and the next day we had the lesson!! Well we went to the house and return missionary couldn’t make it in time, so we just got to know them and what not!! They are about 21!! His name his Luis and his friend is Santiago!! We put a date to return the Saturday and came with the return missionary and his friend the recent convert!! We had such an amazing experience!! We asked them to be baptized and it made them think!!! There was silence, not kidding for a couple minutes!! Think about that... just a lot of guys... friends, just silent!!! The spirit was so strong!!! I haven’t prayed so hard for the spirit to testify to someone in the moment!!! The silence broke and he said, well if I receive an answer that this is true, he will be baptized, we have the date to come back and I pray that he will receive the answer that his true!! It was such a great experience that left the 4 of us full of the Holy Ghost knowing that he was present and none of us could deny it!! It was a great week and sounds like you all had a great week with the rain!!! Love you guys tons!!! Love Ky
