It's a great day to be alive!!!

My companion always laughs at me because multiple times I day I throw

my arms out look up in the sky and say "ITS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE"

but seriously it's true I love everyday there are so many things to

smile about!

BIG MIRACLE ok so about a month ago we street contacted a man named

Roberto and scheduled to come back the next day and meet with his

whole family. After a few unsuccessful attempts to teach them we

knocked the door and met a girl named Erica that we thought was the

babysitter of the younger kids. The next day we pick up our recent

convert that's 16 and she's like one of my friends told me that two

girls came to her door to teach her about Jesus Christ one was short

one tall, and they both spoke Spanish our recent convert was like

ooooo I think I know who that is.... US!! Anyways so it turns out

Erica is a daughter in Robertos family so we start teaching them and

they are so awesome and the 9 year old girl reads the Book of Mormon

all the time and loves it. Roberto told us that when he prayed he felt

something in his heart burning and he wanted to cry and he knew it was

the spirit. They are an amazing family!! Anyways so because of the

fathers work schedule the family was having a hard time being able to

come to church. Last Friday we visited them and Roberto was like I'm

sorry Hermanas but I don't think we will be able to come to church for

a little while because I really have to work Sunday's. But we were

like do you believe that God can help you if you truly desire to come

to church and he's like ya of course so we all knelt down and said a

prayer. He prayed for the opportunity to come to church and then the

next day in the afternoon we had a missed call from him. We called

back and he was so so excited to tell us that his boss had told him

that they weren't going to be able to do any work Sunday and that he

could have the day off. the biggest miracle!! Sunday morning we went

by right before church they were all ready to go and they followed us

there. There were five of them at church, they stayed for all three

hours and they LOVED it!! We are so excited for them to continue

progressing!

sorry I don't have much time but there were many many miracles. I know

that God answers prayers, that he loves us and knows each of us

personally. I know that Christ lives for us. I was thinking about that

yesterday that yes Christ suffered and died for us but also that HE

LIVES he lives for us and through him we can find everlasting life and

joy. I love the gospel and I love all of you!!
