OTHER THAN OUR BAAAAPTISM!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEAH! hahaha

Lenay Ramirez, and her daughter anabella were baptised on june 30th 2015!!

The ward has been helping a TON on keeping them fellowshipped and we are already helping lenay get a vision set for the temple! :) She's already made a few friendds in the ward!

Wherever you are, HELP THE MISSIONARIES and here's why, Missionaries by themselves baptise very few people who are just so amazing that nothing will keep them out of the church. Missionaries WITH MEMBERS baptise a TON of people who are amazing!!!! The members are the ones that are able to make the cool awesome friendships, but mostly they are the wingman. Coming into the church is legitamately scary for new converts. You laugh and think i'm crazy but it's true. Just think, we have a whole "mormon lingo," that we talk with. Completely lost of them. We have a bazillion mormon jokes that they don't understand. there's so many things that make them feel on the outside, and they don't always want to stay. or they do and are just a little scared. kinda like the first day of high school. That's why it is sooo important for the members to get involved. And the prophets and apostles have promised, I don't even know HOW MANY blessings to those who help out. Think of it, the prophet Joseph Smith said, "after all is said and done our greatest duty is to preach the gospel." Think of it, this is the greatest work that the lord has. What kind of blessings are in store for those that help the lord in his greatest work? I promise you, there will be miracles in the most unexpected places. 

Wow, haha a little too preachy for my liking. 

anyways so this last week was really amazing! we were blessed to meet with a bunch of amazing people, and the coolest thing was this new thing that e bedke and i are doing.

We are leaving these little pamphlets, that have "The Family: A proclamation to the world" written in them, Why? because from what i've noticed here, almost EVERYONE loves the idea of the family. And with all of the attacks there are on the family nowadays, the people we meet with love to see a stand for the family. It's a breath of fresh air. And it's such an amazing help and lead up to teaching the restoration. There was this one lady we met with who told us word for word that the family proclamation was Prophetic! i chuckled inside and said to myself now just wait till we tell you about our message. Missionary Work is AMAZING.

Well fourth of july was really fun! we got to make cream soda, it turned out really well! we also got to enjoy a box sent from my amazing mother! ;) it was a ton of fun. we ate cookie brownies, drank home made cream soda, and squished up all four of us on one couch to watch mountain of the lord on a 7 inch dvd screen. THE BEST! haha love you guys!
