Kimberly's Getting Baptized!!!‏

Well, it's been a crazy week with trying to e-mail...We went on Monday to the church to play volleyball and we were going to e-mail after, but then it turns out that just one of the computers was working. So we had to split the time. Sister McArthur wrote for half her time and I wrote for like half an hour. And then we were going to go early to a meeting on Tuesday so we could e-mail at the stake center, but then it was locked and we didn't have a key...So we came early to our zone meeting today and they gave us a key so we could e-mail! So that's what we did!

This week has been such a good week!! Kimberly is getting baptized on Saturday!! I'm soo excited!! She has her interview on Thursday with Elder Davis, our district leader, and then Saturday it is!! She's such an amazing person! She gave up smoking and hasn't had a craving at all! She was texting us this morning and she spent like her whole morning watching videos on MormonChannel.org! AND she's on Jacob chapter 2!! She's amazing!!! And whenever she has questions, she finds the answers before we can even get back to her!! She's soo AMAZING!! I'm so excited for her! :D :D 

 

Yesterday, we also went to visit Noemi! She's soo cute! She was telling us that she wants to be in this church and she wants to be part of it because it feels right. But she wants her husband to do it with her. So yesterday, when we went, we were planning her husband to be there...and he was!! They were asking us all these questions and we were able to answer them! They were kind of easy questions, but they were the very important questions! The spirit helped us answer all of them! It was really cool because at the end, they both said that they like how prepared we are. That we have our answers and we can show them where they are in the Bible or the Book of Mormon.

 

Honestly, I never felt prepared, sometimes I still don't. I was kinda confused on what they were talking about. But, I realized that Heavenly Father has prepared me for the investigators I have right now. Even though I am not as prepared as I want to be, I am prepared enough for those that need me right now. I'm going to keep learning and I'm going to be more prepared later on, but that's just because I will need to be more prepared later on. 

 

I am soo happy to be here and to see all these miracles happen! I love being a missionary and I love helping people that need the gospel in their life! I am so thankful for Hermana Salazar and Hermana Villareal (the missionaries) that taught me. A lot of the times when we're teaching Izzy, I feel like I'm re-living my lessons. Honestly, 5 years ago I would have never thought that I'd be where I am today. But I am so happy that I am. I have never been happier in my life. I love how close I am with my Heavenly Father and I can't wait to get even closer with him. I love this church with all my heart and I will do anything the Lord asks of me!

Thank you all for supporting me! I love receiving letters and e-mails from everyone. Thank you to the Young Women for writing me! I love you all!! 

Love Always, 

Hermana Ramos-Escobar
