Sister Macey Gates // Week Fifty-Seven // "5 MONTHS LEFT!!"

This week was amazing again!! We have some solid investigators. I am so blessed to be able to serve here in Moreno valley, and be able to teach all these amazing people. So we have a baptism planned this weekend:) We are so excited! Her name is Gloria, she is so nervous to be baptized because its so different, but she said she feels so good.  She amazes me every time we have a lesson with her. We picked up another former named Maria, she almost got baptized before but her husband didn't want her to and did everything he could to stop her from being baptized. We invited them to our ward potluck and they came!! They loved it. We are really trying to include and work with her husband as well because she is on date and loves the church. So at our ward potluck, they were all dancing and it was so hard not to dance with them. So when we got home we turned on mexican music and tried to dance like them. I think were really good. We had multizones this week, we learned a lot about talking with people and about our savior. One quote that I really liked is "The Savior didn't give up on us, so don't give up on him." We can never ever give up. On sunday morning at ward council, I walked in and Obispo was like "HERMANITA!! You are the person i was looking for!" He told me that the ward pianist called and said she couldn't play cause she was sick so guess what... I had to play in sacrament, and then he continued to say that the ward choir had a special musical number so guess who had to play it... me... I had no time to even practice. I was so so nervous but i went good. I LIVED. We had 6 people come to church yesterday, it was amazing:) We hit standard too! We saw so many amazing miracles and we couldn't have done it without the help of the members.  Then last night we hear all these little hits at the window. The elders made marshmallow guns and attacked us. But the made some for us so its ok. I love this work, I truly do. There is no way I can deny the way i feel is from my Heavenly Father. I cant believe I only have 5 months left.. time has flown by! Also HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! I will be eating all day long. Have a great week everyone:)
