Hola Familia! Thanks for your thoughts on Easter, it's such a special time to remember what Christ did for us! Ez, you played super smash bros with T_?? Was Mo jealous?? JJ, sounds like an awesome week! That's my winner brother! Mo, sometimes I wish my curfew was earlier, I like to sleep! Jar, haha that's too cute about Maddi's nephews! So what do you tell them? Cam and Patch, could you live funner lives?? haha jk, but not really. Dad! happy birthday!!!!! almost!!! haha why do make yourself suffer the cold?? Mom, I want to cry just reading that :,( We were able to work with Hermana Ma_ this week, and through her personal persistence in finding her answer this week through prayer about whether or not she should be baptized, her answer came! She's decided with all surety that she's going to be baptized! The special thing about Ma_ is she is very spiritually mature.

Every single day we've met a new super awesome investigator!

Hola familia!!! It's been another awesome week in Comitán! But seriously, I love it! Literally every single day this week we've met a new super awesome investigator! Just to tell you about a few of them: We started teaching the mom of a 10 year old boy named Al_ who got baptized just a couple of weeks ago. Her name is Ma_ and she has had lots of special experiences since she came in contact with the missionaries and started going to church a couple of months ago. She loves the church and never misses a Sunday! She receives revelation through dreams and the first time she went to church she saw a picture of Christ that she had actually dreamed about when she was 8 years old. She has had lots of special witnesses and wants to be baptized, but feels that she needs a stronger sign from God that he wants her to be baptized specifically at this time. We're trying to help her recognize the confirmations that she has already received so she can keep progressing in the gospel :)...

Also her only companion ;) But she's super excited to be a missionary and working really hard! I'm actually really impressed with her physical ability opening area! I'm actually in love with Comitan! It's such an awesome area! And it's been fun opening area, and by fun I mean it's painful because I think I've walked more miles this week than in all of my mission, but like we're happy to do it :). The weather is a little hotter than San Cris, but way not as hot as Tuxtla! It's the perfect in between! Well, sometimes, I feel really hot coming from San Cris, but my comp is dying of cold because Tampico is like horrible horrible oven hot heat haha. But even though it's a little stressful ope...
