Letter 9

Well another couple of interesting experiences this week. I ate pig´s head, which is horrible, and we found more people to baptize. One of whom was healed by one of our blessings.
Tomas moved his baptism two weeks into the future so as to make sure he can overcome his problems.
 Also we met a man named Marcos who had a dream about Joseph Smith a year ago when he received the Book of Mormon and for some reason was never taught by the missionaries. He read the Book of Mormon cover to cover and believes it to be the word of God.
His mother was the one that was healed by a priesthood blessing.
Also one of our previous investigators who also has a testimony of the Book of Mormon will be able to separate from her "husband" whom she has been living with and being cheated on by for ten years.  They are not married and he is finally leaving her. This will make it possible to baptize her as well.
Elizabeth and her family of 7 (6 of which are over 8 years old including, obviously, her and her husband) are interested in hearing the lessons. This signifying another six  possible baptisms in the near future.
Apparently these two months without baptisms were a trial to prove whether we would be worthy of these baptisms we are going to have now.
For now, I need to end.
