Sister Courtney Machelle Griffiths : Aug 11

wow what a crazy week in the work!! WE HAD 2 BAUPTISMS!!! and really they were both miracles!!! it was so wonderful haha i don't know where to start!! this week has been so crazy and full of things to do!! really until Thursday it was a normal week chill and then it all changed!! really we had one of our bauptisms cintia who really is chosen of god to listen right now!! but she is 12 and so we need to have her permission so that she could be bauptized and he mom didn't want to sign the paper.. and of course she lives way far away in a farm!! in who know where and so we planned everything to go out to the farm to sign her permission and we had everything planned and we started looking for a taxi or a member that could take us out to the field and we couldn't find anyone literally we called like 10 members and they couldn't so we started looking for a taxi but it is really expensive and so if at all possible we didn't want to do that and finally one of the member called us and said that he could help us!! and just in that moment we received a text for cintia that said that her mom just came to her house and that she signed the paper!!! WHAT!!! p.s. she lives with her grandma that is why is was a big deal! but anyways and really we learned that when we did everything i mean everything!!! the lord after opened the door and we didn't every have to do anything!! it was amazing!!

after we headed to our other bauptism belen and she wasn't so sure about being bauptized and we got kinda down... the next day the elders came to have the interview with cintia and she passed!!! it was great! AND after we headed to talk with belen and the elders and it was good she got really excited and she chose that yes she want to be bauptized!! it was great!! really so we where way excited!!!!

Saturday we worked all morning long so that in the afternoon we could fill the font! and rally everything little thing possible that could go wrong... went wrong we didn't have hot water then we didn't have gas to heat the water... and everything more!! but finally we got it!!! filled!! and we headed to look for cintia and belen! cintia was sitting outside waiting or us it was so cute and she was so ready!! and then we went for belen and her family was yelling at her telling her not to do it and that she is catholic and.... a lot more things and i didn't understand! haha but finally she left and we headed to the church! and they were both bauptized! it cold water poor things but hey it is all good!

Sunday! we headed to pick us belen for sacrament meeting and she wasn't awake.. and we couldn't do anything because he family hates us!! but after A LOT of prayers in my heart she finally heard us and woke up!! she left and we headed to the church! and after we had a member that was going to bring cintia to church and the meeting started.. and she wasn't there we sang.. still not there pray... nothing and we where dying!! but after when belen went up front to be confirmed cintia walked in!! oh my goodness we both went crazy inside but were way happy!!!

this week will be a week that i never will forget because so many more things happened but i don't have time to write them all really it has been a week FULL of miracles and we could see the hand of god in our work!! we are really excited for this week and praying more and more everyday for more miracles!!!

love you all so so so much and never forget the miracles really do happen!!

i hope all is well and that everyone is doing good!! love you!
