Week #63- missionary work of members is so important!

This week was great, I loved going to the temple, I didnt want to leave, I felt so good and so much peace. I love going to the temple, its like you just leave every problem behind when you enter. I know that it is the Lords house and there is no place better to be than the Temple. We are so blessed to have a Temple so close to us here in the mission, and I am even more blessed to have many Temples close to me at home. We are planning to take a few recent converts to the Temple to do baptisms for the dead on the 21st this month. I cant wait to go back! We have great investigators that are really progressing. One of our investigators Mauro just told us that he believes in Christ more than ever now that we have been teaching him and he told us that he wants to get baptized. He has a baptismal date for the 23rd so we are really excited. He has really changed and he has seen the change in himself as well. We have a baptism on Saturday this week and he has changed a lot as well. He was a reference from the young men in our ward and he has come to church ever since they invited him. The missionary work of members is so important, we never would have known about him without them. We taught one of his family members my first transfer here but she wasnt progressing so we stopped teaching her. I never even met her family members. I helps so much when the members help us, and many times their help results in converts. This ward has been getting better and better with helping us with references. Its awesome
