On Saturday we had two baptisms, Miguel and Paola. They have been meeting with the missionaries for almost a year now and just a few weeks ago were married and Saturday were baptized and Sunday confirmed members of the church. It was a cool experience especially because miguel's less active mother (of about forty years) came to church on Sunday to see him be confirmed, it was powerful, we had a total of three confirmations in the Sacrament meeting and that is what I call a powerful batting order, starting it off with the line "Receive the Holy Ghost" but three times.
Also our prayers were answered, for while now my companion and I have been praying specifically to find a family of five people to teach and yesterday at about 8:30 at night we found them, we found the dad at the door and persuaded him to let us show him the two minute Christmas video that the church has come out with (for those of you who haven't seen it christmas.mormon.org) after some convincing he let us in, right after we finished the video his thirteen year old son woke up and he wanted to see the video, so we watched it again, then Christians wife and two daughters came home and they too wanted to watch the movie, after we talked a little with them about some difficulties that they are going through and the mothers absolute love for Christmas. Then we decided to finish by singing Away in a manger and that was just like putting the cherry on top after our "angelical"(they said it, not me) rendition they were practically begging us to come back. The Lord answers prayers.
