Thanks guys so much for wishing me a happy birthday!! It really means a lot!  Sorry if I couldn't respond, there's just a short time limit I have. I know I'm grateful and love you guys! It's weird that it's my last one in the mission... but oh well I guess. This past week was super cool!  We had a baptism! His name is Luis Holguin, his son was able to baptize him!! It was so cool. He has years listening to the missionaries and finally got baptized! He brought a ton of his family!  Most of them had to travel like 4 hours. I'm pretty sure he is the only one not a member but not sure. His daughter isn't either, so we are going to help her as well. But he brought a ton a people!

Also there is a family in our ward who are always on the ball and knows how to work for the Lord. A sister brought 5 of her friends to church on Sunday!!!  She said to one of them that she should be baptized haha! She literally told her "Hey, you need to be baptized!" and yeah we told her what day and stuff and well on the 15th of September she will be getting baptized! Later that day we visited another couple who went to church also excepted the invitation to be baptized for that same day!!  There are a lot more families who we will be finding! There are so many miracles here in the mission when you really just sit back and look. I'm so excited to see what the Lord has prepared for the people here in Portoviejo! I'm just grateful to be able to be apart of it! I know that these things are true. Families truly can be forever. Love and cherish them. This Gospel bring more unity and resolves the problems and helps push through the difficulties.

Have a great week!! Bye!
