Well I hope everybody gets this email this week. Things are going great here in San Angelo. We had stake conference yesterday and we had a really good turn out. I think I told yall about the Honduran family that we've been teaching. Out of nine, five of them are baptismal age and three of the five are getting baptised on Thursday. The other two aren't living the law of chastity right now. They're such a cool family. Zally, Xiomara and Ashley are the ones getting baptised. I'm so excited for them. We went over there on Saturday for Xiomara's birthday and made them dinner and had a lesson, it was a blast. She loved it!! On Saturday Elder Root and Elder Wakefield are going to be having a baptism as well. They're baptizing a lady named Vicki that Elder Jenkins and I found but passed her over to them because she speaks English. Well she wants me to baptise her. I'm super stoked for that!! I was kinda shocked when they told me actually because I've only seen her like three or four times and taught her twice. I'm excited. We had something pretty amazing happen to us this past week. We're teaching this lady named Isabel right now. Her husband is working in Dallas right now and for some reason her two kids aren't living with her. Well they just moved here to San Angelo and found an apartment but didn't have any furniture at all and she had no money at all. In order to get her kids back her apartment had to be in good conditions with some furniture and food and everything and the lady was supposed to come on Friday to inspect her apartment and tell her if she could have her kids back or not. She's working at Diego's but wasn't going to get her paycheck until Friday. Anyways to make a long story short, the day after she told us all this Elder Jenkins and I were riding our bikes back home for lunch and we passed in front of this house with a bunch of furniture just sitting in the front yard with a sign that said Free Furniture. We were both in shock!! The Lord provided a way for her to get her kids back and we were able to get her all the furniture she needed. It was amazing and a huge blessing. The Lord is looking out for us and our investigators and blesses all of his children when we do what he asks. Well the church is true. God lives and loves all his children. I love yall too and hope all is well back home. Have a great week.
