Joy and Miracles 2014!

Cousin Ashley and Zach are married!  She looks so beautiful and happy.  Thank you for sending pics.  Give her my love.

Well we started church at 9am this week. Lets just say it's a whole new ball game. Waking people up for church is really fun haha. The Timalach's still came! This is a big deal, they are usually late for 1 o'clock church so it was a big deal that they showed up at 9:30 haha.

We have started reading the Book of Mormon from the beginning as a family with the Timalach's. It is so great. We read slow and talk about things and ask questions. The spirit just filled the house and it was the best. Best thing ever was when we walked into their house and up on the wall they had the huge Family Proclamation to the World framed on the wall with the picture of the family from their wedding underneath it.

We had a really great Mission Leadership Council this week. We set the baptismal goal for the mission for the year 2014. Wow. It was one of the most powerful meetings. The spirit was soo strong and we all left with this huge excitement and determination. President shared 1 Nefi 16:28 and I love how it says "de acuerdo con la fe, diligiencia y atencion". Anything is possible with our diligence, faith and when we give the Lord our all.

Let me tell you of the biggest miracle of the week.  Hna Campos gave us a referral. We went to go contact her and knocked on the door.  This lady says, "Quien es?" we said,  "Somos las misioneras de la iglesia de Jesucristo...." then she said (through the door), "Oh, no las conozco" (I don't know you). I thought that was pretty funny. We just decided we would try to go back with Hna. Campos. Well on Sunday guess who came to church!? Maria, Hna Campos friend and referral! The members play the biggest parts in missionary work. Nothing would have happened without that invitation. We are going to start teaching her and her family tomorrow and are so excited!

Thank you for all your prayers, fasts and support. I love and appreciate you all. I hope you have a great week and continue to look for miracles. love you all!!
Con Amor,
Hermana Thomas
