Familia!! 
   I can't believe it's March! I love my mission. It just keeps getting better. Hermana Lund and I get along great. We have seen many miracles here in Austin. 
   Last week at church, a member showed up with his non-member wife. They just recently moved here and so we set up an appointment with them. We went by Tuesday and luckily we saw Hermano driving, otherwise we never would've found the house. We followed him down an old dirt road to a tiny trailer. It couldn't have been bigger than our bedroom. He let us in and we were greeted by Yoanna and their 5 month old daughter. As we sat there teaching, in their humble home, I was overwhelmed with the Spirit. It was so strong. We invited Yoanna to be baptized and she said yes! She said the most humble closing prayer and prayed to Heavenly Father that we would continue coming by so that she can be baptized this month. We went by again and taught her on Thursday. She is so sweet and so prepared! 
    We have a busy week this week with 2 exchanges as well as MLC, and then Gisele's baptism will be Saturday. :) We had to move it because the font was already reserved. We have incredible investigators as well, who are progressing really well and taking the necessary steps towards baptism.  
   Last week we finished our mission study of the Book of Mormon. The book is true!! I love it. We started today, our study of The Father and The Son. I think I scared Hermana Lund a little with how excited I was during companionship study this morning. I love this gospel.. The scriptures are like a never ending source of knowledge. We can read them over and over again and still learn more. I have never been so grateful for the Book of Mormon, for the Plan of Salvation, the Atonement, or our Savior Jesus Christ. 
   I am so thankful for each one of you. Thank you for your examples, for your testimony and for living the gospel. There simply is no other way to happiness and eternal life, than through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Have a great week!!! Les quiero mucho!!


P.S. Happy Birthday tomorrow BO!!! :) 

Con Amor,
