New Years is Comin'

So cool story with the baptism of Zuleika! This week I interviewed Zuleika and she was very nervous. She is nine years old and was super anxious for the interview. So as I met her I got to show her the photos of my mom at her baptism and tell her about how she had been very nervous as well:) So as we began the interview it was the most amazing experience. I gave the first prayer and as I offered it, the Spirit was so powerful! In that prayer everything that needed to be said was said. The Lord had clearly told me as I prayed that she was ready and that He wanted her to be baptized. So when we began the interview it was not difficult. On Sunday she was baptized and it was a very powerful amazing baptism! Zuleika has such an amazing light. After her baptism we asked her how she felt and she said, "I felt something good, I dont know how to describe it but it felt really good!" (but in Spanish;) 

This week we had a great experience with the Mendoza fam. Sister Mendoza had been struggling - her tia is a Jehovah Witness and kept trying to bash her beliefs saying that there could be no more word of God that the Bible is everything. We read with her 2 Nephi 29 and afterwards was hilarious! She screamed out "Elder this is it this is it! Its all here! Why didn't you share this with me before!! There is so much right here!" They came to church again this week and brought the whole family. It's been amazing watching them grow again in the church:) 

Well Christmas was amazing! I love you guys! Thanks for writing me and sending pictures it means the world to see peoples faces! Love ya and see ya next week!
