mustache monday--new thing? just might be ;)

Mustaches for Manuel! 

the baptism yesterday was the best experience EVER!!!!!! i know i shouldnt know what it feels like to be a proud mother...but when Manuel (the son) baptized Manuel (the father) i definitely had a "Awww my babies are growing up"moment!!! and then again when Emilia (the mom) and Manuel (the son) bore their testimonies at a devotional last night!!! THIS WORK IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST EVER!!!!!!!!! another highlight of the week was definitely watching Manuel (the son) practice the baptism hold and prayer with a member from our ward named Benjamen! dunking him in the imaginary font was probably my favorite part ;)

oh! okay if y'all would pray for Antonio and his wife Carmen that would be great...we've taught Carmen a couple times..and when we taught Antonio he was loving it..shaking his head "yes" the whole time--just soakin it all in. but when we asked them to be baptized, Carmen jumped in and said she didnt feel ready to make that decision (she is pretty into her Christian church) but Antonio said he loved everything that we taught him, how we taught, how he feels when we teach...mentioned how we have answered SOOO many of the questions he has had his entire life, etc..but he doesnt want to make the decision to be baptized without his wife. they are an amazing couple (with a new baby Moises--miracle baby--the one i talked about a couple weeks ago that we accompanied to the clinic to translate?) and i just know the gospel would bless their cute family exponentially!!! 

oh! get this..so we are haulin down west heimer late one night, per usual, and all of a sudden this guy on a bike coming towards us starts yelling! i freaked for half a second but then realized he was saying "HEYYYY!! IT'S THE SISTER MISSIONARIESSSSS!!!!!!!" turns out it was good ole Eddy --member of the english ward that sings to us whenever we see him ;) he turned his bike around and proceeded to bike with us for the next three miles or so! love that man...

went to the Houston Temple this week!!!! it's amazing how if you prepare before you go to the temple, the spirit really teaches you individual and amazing things..i dont want to run the risk of saying anything "temple only talk" so ill just leave it at that.. when you have the chance-GO TO THE TEMPLE!!!!!!!!! vale la recompensa!!!!

love you all! thanks for the prayers!

HAPPY!!!!

Manuel is getting baptized this sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we found out he hadn't been drinking recently and decided to ask him about baptism and what would be stopping him from taking that step..he said he wanted more knowledge of the church first...Emilia (his wife) told us to ask him the baptismal interview questions so we dropped everything and whipped out the questions. He knew and bore powerful testimony of every single point! at the end we invited him to be baptized this next sunday and he pauses for a second...then looks me straight in the eyes and says, "Si, Voy a hacerlo!!" (Yes, Im going to do it!) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took everything in my power not to tackle that man in a bear hug!!! i am so so SOOO happy for him and for his family and how its going to bless their lives and others lives for years to come!!!! AND THE BEST PART IS: Manuel (his son) is going to get the priesthood this sunday and be able to BAPTIZE HIS DAD!!!! the church is so true...its unreal..i love this..MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN!!

okay..so now that im not exploding with that amazing news...remember Irvin? the less active that wants to be president of the united states?? so we go to meet with him at the bench like we always do..and he takes out his backpack..and proceeds to whip out a bi-lingual bible (nice), the Book of Mormon we gave him (sweet), and then....an 800 page autobiography of Abraham Lincoln...you could tell which one he read the most ;) but it doesnt stop there! he then asks us to interpret his dream...i politely told him that Heavenly Father doesnt always communicate to us through dreams, although we talked about Lehi's dream for a while, which he liked. he DID come to church this sunday and absolutely LOVED the testimony meeting and is committed to bear his testimony next month! vamos a ver! 

oh..i learned how to crochet. and the lady teaching me (who we were going to extend a baptismal date to) doesn't seem very interested in the gospel right now, but we'll see! you never know! 

read helaman 16 about Samuel the Lamanite!!! God isn't asking US to go stand on a wall and call people to repentance..he just wants us to live what we know and share it when we can...and he will protect us!! 

hope yall had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! love you all bunches!
