Too many miracles to fit them all in, but here´s my favorite.

Yesterday, we gave everything we had getting to find our friends to come to church, they all confirmed and never showed up... Then in the afternoon we had nothing, and we were heading to a few pass-bys, but the spirit whispered to us to go swing by a reference the Elders gave us. On the way we were contacting, and everything worked so perfectly. We were walking and we both moved to contact Alonso. He was sitting outside of a closed church, with his maps opened looking for other churches, looking for a place to pray. We began to talk, then we sat down and he cried. We testified of the power of Christ´s atonement and the power of the Book of Mormon. He thanked us so much. And we gave him Alma 36 to read about the incredible change of Alma the Younger. Then we went to teach a menos activa and her non-member (going to get baptized soon!) husband and they saw him reading a Book of Mormon on a bench and said, ¨The Hermanas must be close.¨ Haha. 

He´s been texting us with just such gratitude and called us angels. He not only read Alma 36, but also the Introduction, the testimonies, and into first Nephi. He is talks about how he has so much more peace and is just extremely grateful. 

He is going to be baptized on June 16 and we are so very excited for him!

I just adore my companion! Hermana Johnson and I have incredible unity and we are really synergizing! It is just the most fun thing in the world to loose yourself in the work with your best friend at your side. 

I love leaving Book of Mormon´s and Christ´s peace in my wake :)

Being a missionary is the absolute greatest thing. Hard days, ice-cold showers, and everything else we go through is so worth it!

I love you all! 

Did you share the Book of Mormon with your friends? If not, do it and I want to hear about it :)

Have the best week!
