It's December Already!!! 12/04/17

Wow. I cannot believe how fast time is going by!!! This week was super awesome! 
 
First of all I don’t know if I have talked about the family Perez, but they are awesome! It is a less active family that we found that hadn’t been going to church for years! They have a 10 year old daughter that hadn’t been baptized. We found them and started teaching them again. The little girl’s name is Iran. We had been teaching them for like three weeks and they have been going to church again. This Sunday Iran got baptized! It was such an awesome experience to see their whole family in the church again! We were all super happy!
 Second, we had been teaching this guy named Marcos who is really cool, but to be honest he just wasn’t progressing. He was really busy going to work and with lots of stuff and we were going to have to stop visiting him. One day we decided to go to his house...normally we had always taught him and seen him at his work, but we went to his house and met his daughters! Turns out that they use to go to church with their grandma who is a member and they were super excited when we asked them if they wanted to come again! They came to church and they are super excited to keep coming with us! 

Third, we are teaching a 17 year old named Marcelino, he is super cool! We found him this last week and he came to church with us on Sunday and wants to keep coming. We talked to him about how him coming to church is one of the ways that he can show God that he loves him and has faith in him. He told us, “I think the best way I can show God that I love him is bringing my brothers and sisters here to the church too.” I died when he said that. So awesome.
 
In the picture with the graffiti, it’s some cool graffiti that says “For you”. It was for his love for you. John 3:16. That is the scriputre that says, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
 I love you guys a ton, and I am loving it here! Have a great week everyone!
