Week #19- an amazing experience that I will never forget!

This week was hard because a lot of our appointments were canceled or they weren't home when we had an appointment, but this week finished off really strong. Me and my companion had been fasting that our investigators would feel the importance of baptism and how much it can bless their lives, because we have one family that only the mother wanted to be baptized and is planned to be baptized on the 19th, but one of her daughters really didn't want to be baptized, and we had never taught her other daughter, until last night. Last night was an amazing experience we taught the commandments and answered a ton of their questions and were there for more than 2 hours answering all kinds of questions, at the end they all said that they want to be baptized with their mom, and they all accepted to be baptized on the 19th so right now we have 6 baptisms planned just on the 19th of July. I have no idea what changed their minds to be baptized, but it was an amazing experience that I will never forget. After we left their house me and my companion said a prayer to thank Heavenly Father for this miracle. We saw a huge change in them and they are great. This Sunday me and my companion recieved another letter that we have to give another talk in church in 2 weeks about our objective as a missionary. I don't know why they want us to give another talk about missionary work when we have 2 sister missionaries in our ward and we just gave a talk a few weeks ago, but this time should be easier, because it is a lot easier topic to talk about. Other than that our week was pretty normal. Today we are going to the catacoombs or something like that with our new president, its like a bunch of old dead peoples bones. I didn't get transferred so I have a few more weeks here. My birthday is coming up soon!
That's all for this week. Love, Elder Monson
