El Espíritu es Poder

This week was successful. There were a lot of great things that happened. One of our people that is progressing towards baptism has received divine help and inspiration in her life!  (In Elder Blackham's phone call he mentioned that Maya has a baptismal date set in two weeks.  She has been struggling with getting to church because she has a hard time getting up in the morning but she can't get baptized until she has attended.  This week she prayed that she would be able to wake up in time for church on Sunday and she woke up one minute before her alarm went off and was able to attend church yesterday.)

We have been looking for new solid people to teach and found a lot. We have a long list of people to go back and visit that have the potential to progress in the gospel.  (Elder Blackham said on the phone that  their schedule has been so full of appointments with people they are teaching that they have hardly any time to fit anything else in. The branch continues to grow and the missionary work is going great in Alice right now!)

We had zone conference this week and we talked about becoming consecrated missionaries and what we can do to improve. As always the spirit was powerful and motivational. We had a branch baptism this week as well. The branch president's son turned 8 this past week. During the baptism the spirit was overwhelmingly powerful. I thought about why I am on a mission and what I want to accomplish. I thought about many past experiences and things that I have learned. I am on a mission to share that feeling with everyone possible. I want everyone to be able to have that overwhelming feeling of joy, peace, and happiness! We also had a very powerful fast and testimony meeting Sunday. A returning member got up and bore his testimony. He was wearing a t-shirt that said "team Jesus". His testimony was so powerful and once again brought that overwhelming spirit into the meeting. It was an amazing experience to see to power of a simple testimony.
