Radio Choirs, Turtles and a Baptism!

Hola amigos!

This week we met with Robinson and Zulma three times this week :) The first time we taught them the word of wisdom with a member who is a convert. It was so great for Robinson to talk to someone who was not born in the church and has had to overcome some stuff in order to be baptized. Then we taught them the 10 commandments and keeping the sabbath day holy which went really well but then on Friday we taught them the law of Chastity, eternal marriage, and about temples and family history. IT WAS AWESOME. They are already living the law of chastity which is awesome but then we explained that they can have their marriage forever and explained that it doesn't have to be "until death do you part". Zulma expressed that she wants to be married in the temple and  Robinson too. The Spirit was so strong, I couldn't stop smiling. WE talked about baptism and  Robinson said he wants to be baptized he just doesn't know when. The next day there was a baptism for someone in an English ward and we invited them to come. The don't speak English perfectly but the understand enough. During the actual ordinance though they cried. Then the man that got baptized shared his testimony and talked about how he still has a lot of questions but he knows the Book of Mormon is the word of God and it was the best thing ever. Robinson had tears in his eyes and after the service I asked him what he felt and he said he couldn't talk about it because it would make him cry. We are going over there today and hopefully going to put him on date.

So that is how Robinson and Zulma are :) They are so awesome and they are excited to meet you guys because I told them that I would come back to Virginia with my parents and they said we have to go to their house!

We went on three exchanges this week and it was fun! One exchange I was with an Hermana Herrera and we have wanted to be companions our whole missions but she goes home next transfer so it probably won't happen but we were excited to spend the day together in Culpeper, Virginia. On Saturday we were on an exchange and I was with Sister Cummings and we saw a turtle crossing the road so we stopped and it tried to bite us. It literally jumped at Sister Cummings and tried to bite her. hahah!

Every Tuesday in October I have been participating in a choir and this week we were recorded and we will be on a local radio station in December singing "angels we have heard on high". We had a group of not super musical missionaries but when we recorded.. it sounded decent. haha! It was to help spread the word that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints celebrates Christmas and believes in Jesus Christ. :)

I know that we have the authority to perform sacred ordinances. I always love attending baptisms because you can feel the power and love of God. I wish I could announce it to the whole world that we have the authority to unite families!

I love you all! Have a great week and Happy Halloween!
