We Had an AMAZING Week!!

(A/N: Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a great pioneer day this past weekend and a wonderful Monday! Enjoy the email update from Hermana Ramos-Escobar!)

This week was crazy!! There's so much that happened!! But we took a lot of pictures, so I might just use that!!

Well let's see!

Michaela got baptized!! Yay!! This week might have been one of the most stressful weeks on my mission! But everything paid off at the end. It's crazy how the Lord really is in charge of everything and makes everything work out!

We also got transfer calls on Saturday! We didn't really have predictions of what would happen. We both wanted to stay! But Sister Corbridge will be going to Merced and I will be companions with Sister White, who is coming from Merced. They're just switching spots! Ha ha! Sister White and Sister Corbridge were companions in the MTC, so that will be fun! I'm excited!!

Last Sunday, one of our members brought someone they had met at the grocery store to church. When they pulled into the church, Jay (the grocery store person) said, "Oh! The LDS church!! This is the church I was going to when I was in Oregon!" We got to meet with him this past Saturday and he's golden!! Turns out that his parents are members! They were baptized in the past couple of years. He had taken the missionary lessons in Oregon with his mom, but he ended up going to Mexico and wasn't able to be baptized with his Mom. He said that he was going through rough times and he kneeled down to pray and said that he would be baptized if things got better! Things got better, Heavenly Father worked  miracles and he has found the church again! We have a baptismal date with him for August 15th!

Asher Oxendine, another investigator, also has a date for the 15th of August!! He's so great! His wife is a member and they are just great!

The work really is hastening here in Lemoore! I love my Heavenly Father so much! He has given me such great opportunities here in Lemoore! It truly has been a blessing to serve a mission!

Love,
Hermana Ramos-Escobar

To the right of me (looking at the picture) is Jane Burns.
She is in an assisting living home here in Lemoore.
She is a member from Hanford that we have been visiting.
She's the best! Always get's us ice cream sandwiches!

Sister Corbridge was in a pie eating contest!!
She didn't really get close to winning! Ha ha!

After Church!

Sister Corbridge, Michaela and I!

Michaela and I!
I'm so happy for her! I have never seen her so happy than after the baptismal service!
Being baptized brings a whole other level of happiness!
