What a great week! Tuesday we took the journey to the capital to do transfers! I got my new companion, Hermana Walburger from Fresno, California (my first and last companion is from califonia....haha) The training meeting went a little long, and on Wednesday we had consejo de lideres planned, so we stayed in GAZCUE for the night, which means that we got to proselyte in my old area for a couple of hours! We went to go visit a family that I was teaching when I was there (Dalma and Sanky), but for some reason they stopped visiting them (i assume it´s because they stopped going to church, but who knows?) Dalma was there and she accepted to be baptized! It was really cool though, because Hna Walburger is the one who invited her to be baptized (she kind of freaked out when I told her to invite her to be baptized....) but Dalma accepted and now the hermanas are working with her again!
Wednesday we had consejo de lideres, I learned a lot! And then after we had to go to another meeting in La Romana with the stake presidency and Pte and hermana Smith and the Zone leaders, which ended late...so we stayed in La romana (I felt bad for my companion....starting her mission and the first two nights she didn´t get to sleep in ¨her¨ bed...and I was in meetings all day)
Thursday we woke up and headed to HIGÜEY FINALLY! And after that all of the days kind of mesh together, but we saw some really great and amazing miracles!
One miracle that we saw is that we contacted a girl named Maria Luisa on friday (we were walking in the street and very few times have I felt the spirit tell me so strongly to contact someone...) we went back to teach her on Satruday, she came to church on Sunday and during sacrament meeting she leaned over to me and said ¨yo quiero convertirme¨ which means she wanted to convert and be baptized! In the afternoon on sunday we went and asked her dad to sign her baptismal record for permission, and he said he really wanted this for her as well, and signed it! She´s already invited 3 of her friends to an activity we have on satruday and to church on sunday. And she´s only 12 years old!
Another miracle is that on satruday night we passed by Enrique, who´s 10 years old. We invited him to church the next day, and he said he wasn´t going to go because the church was too far away to walk and that he was going to go to a church that was closer to his house. And to be honest, the church is VERY far away from his house (probably a couple of miles...) So I (having very little faith) just invited him to come to church, but I wasn´t expecting much. We sat down in sacrament meeting and then....Enrique walked in! ON TIME. He sat down in back of us. He then leaned forward and told us that he couldn´t remember exactly where the church was (he´s been once before) but before he left his house, he prayed and asked God to help him get to church and to find it. He also said that a couple of times he arrived at points where the street split into two and he didn´t know which way to go, but he explained that he had a thought, but not like his own thought, that told him which way to go! He was being guided by the spirit! And he arrived JUST on time! He also told us that he wants 
to be baptized really bad!
to be baptized really bad!
So overall, the work is going pretty good. We´re seeing miracles for being obedient and working HARD. I know that when we´re happy and have a positive attitude about all we do, not just the fun things, we will be able to better see all the blessings that Heavenly Father has given us, which are a LOT of blessings! The Book of Mormon is powerful, READ IT!
