SPRINGTIME HEAT IN ICA!!!!!!

Buenos dias familia and friends.

LAS MISIONERAS CON LA HERMANA SONIA QUE SE VA
A SU MISION EN ARGENTINA.
Another great week, not without its challenges, but needless to say a great week. To be honest, up to this point it was hard to see much of the progression in our area, but I think this week we were really able to begin to see the fruits. Really we have been blessed to find and teach so many amazing people these last couple of weeks. This sunday put it all together when the 2 families (familia orrego and familia Fernandez) who well be rescuing completly this week and the next, came to church all together. Then also that Familia Chavez, our family of investigators with baptismal dates for Oct 22nd, came for the 3rd week in a row! More thn just coming to church what makes us even happier is that they always come prepared to interact, and learn. This week they even came with another one of their daughters who was visting from Lima! Also martin, whose going to  baptized on the 22nd came with his less active sister. In our gospel priniciples class he was asked to stand up and present himself. He shared his name and then added "im not a member yet, but soon I will be". It made us so happy, weve really seen the progress in him. One of the investigators we found this week shirley, whose the grandaughter of a really active sisters in our ward, also came to church for the first time! Also Jenny, who we lost like 2 weeks ago that was supposed to get baptized this week, we were able to find saturday when she showed up for womens conference. We had been so worried! but she also came to church sunday and is commited to work towards a new baptismal date. We really love her, and we know she is someone really special, even though she has tested our patience a bit. Well thats was most of the week. Really just full of miracles and alot of support from the members. And the hard work continues onward in ICA!

This week we also lent sevice organizing and cleaning display cases in a HUGE arts and crafts store in the downtown area. It was so enjoyable, and I know mom would have gone nuts in this place. Hobby Lobby has nothing on this peruvian craft supply store.

We also had the blessing of attending womens general conference on saturday. Even though it was dubbed in spanish, it was great. I love Pre Utchdorfs talk the most. This week is CONFERENCE, and im more excited than a 5 year old is for Christmas.

LOVE YOU ALL. Send me pictures!
