Hello!!

Yesterday, we had no power.. it's called a brown out!! so we were not able to email yesterday!! But we were given special permission to email now! :) So don't worry family! I am still alive and everything is just great!! :)

Yesterday, because we weren't able to email... we went to the hospital to visit one of the members that was really sick! We call her Mommy D!! She always makes food for us and she takes care of us! and Her daughter Jinky is the one that works with us a lot! So we went to visit her for our P-Day! She seems to be doing better now and should hopefully be out of the hospital soon! We love her so much! Please everyone pray for her and her family at this time!! 

Well this last Saturday.. we had a Baptism!!!!!!! :) Marty Galvez Mateo was baptized! He was so excited!! he Dad came as well and we are hoping that one day he will follow the example of his wife and kids!!!! Their Dad is the only one that is not yet a member!! but what was so great at Marty's baptism.. His sister Misty spoke! and when she spoke... she spoke directly to her Dad and said that she hopes her whole family is baptized and that they can be together forever!!! :) So we are really wanting to teach him!! But he is always so busy on Sundays because of his work, so he can't go to church! So please pray for him too!!!

Then on Friday!! We surprised my companion!!!!! :) Because it was her birthday and her one year mark!!! so after our work and it was dinner time! I told her that Mommy D invited us for dinner! So we went there and they had the members hiding and they surprised her with a little party! it was just food and cake!! :) and then we shared a message with them for her birthday!! She was so surprised and she was so happy!!!

and then on Sunday.. Our Branch presidency and their families had a Family Home Evening with us for my companion's birthday! I was the one that shared the lesson and then the 1st counselor gave his closing remarks because it was his house.. and he told us how grateful he was for the missionaries and how much they want to support us and help us in the work.. and if we even need anything we can just go to them! So that was a really great Family Home Evening to build the trust of our branch!!! :)

Well overall this was a really great week! We have received lots of referrals from the members and we have found  a lot of new investigators! and the investigators that we do have are really progressing!! :) Yes we are really working hard! and we are so grateful for all of your prayers!!!

Oh and last night! We went to one of the members house last night because their mother-in-law had passed away! So we went to visit the family! and the Husband of the woman that passed away is actually Less Active and we were able to share a message to him about the Atonement and the Plan of Salvation! We had touched his heart so much that he asked us to come back! and he had been sad the whole day.. but he told us that he was feeling more happy and that he was going to be okay!!! 

WOW!! I Love the gospel and the amazing blessings we receive through living it!!! The Gospel really can bring joy and happiness and peace into our lives!!!! I have seen so many people change their whole life because of the gospel!!! I know that this is the true church and Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer!! and I know that I am in the right mission and in the right place!!!!!!!!

Love,

Sister Freeman
