Hello friends and family!!!!!

I am happy to tell you that this week, things calmed down in the offices, and we saw some super big miracles here in our area!!!

First off, I’ve started a new thing here. The truth is I should have started it right when I got here to the offices, but better late than never!!! I have lots of people who come in to fight about money problems, do contracts for houses, and just lots of other stuff. Well, I had someone come that frustrated me super bad, and after they left, I remember just feeling awful inside. I started a new goal then that I would try to brighten at least one person’s day while I’m here in the offices before we head out and start working in our area. I have felt much happier here in the office ever since I started doing that, and people have left the offices with a smile on their face, which makes me happy!

Second, we had a HUGE MIRACLE this past week!!!! So the Familia Hurtado, is the family of one of the members in our ward. They live out in a little town in the middle of nowhere. There used to be missionaries out in their town, but right when they were getting married to get baptized, the missionaries got taken out of that area. This was about a year or two back. They have come to church twice with us now, and after church, we asked them how they felt about baptism, and they told us that they have wanted to get baptized for a year now. The good news is, that because they have no missionaries in their town, and they attend in our ward, we get to help them be baptized!!! We have three baptisms this weekend!! I have been praying for a miracle ever since Renan Retamoso moved out of our area, and we have had some super tough and busy weeks, and it was so good to see an answered prayer this weekend. I am very grateful to my Father in Heaven for the miracle of missionary work..

We had intercambios again this past weekend!!! Elder Johnston came to our area, and we had another super awesome time working together!!

That’s all for this week!!! Thanks for your continued support! Love you all tons!!

Con Amor, Elder Christian Duvall Newman
