Yesterday Johnathan got confirmed and also Stepahanie Luna, Johnathan's cousin, got baptized!
It was super special. It was beautiful. I love being on this mission! It is amazing to see someone you have taught be baptized. You just know of the love Heavenly Father has for them. We had another baptism yesterday and had two on date for next week. The problem was that both of those investigators would not have gone to church 3 times. One of them is moving right before the 3rd Sunday she would have gone to church, and one of them has a job that will not permit him to not work on Sundays. However, we continue to work with them and pray that they eventually, and by eventually I mean as soon as possible, get baptized!

The one investigator who is moving is Lorrie. She is amazing. She is the manager of the apartments where Stephanie lives and they are both best friends. Lorrie has such a desire to know what is right in the eyes of God, and feels the Spirit strongly everytime she comes closer to the gospel. Her husband treats her and her sons badly, but she is trying to be strong in her decision to be baptized. Yesterday was her first Sunday, and when we met up with her she had been crying because her husband gave her a hard time for her decision to come to church. After church was over we asked her if she would like a priesthood blessing and she said yes. After the Elders gave her the blessing, she felt at peace and said that it was exactly what she needed to hear. When we saw her at Stephanie's baptism, we asked her how the rest of her day went and she said that it was the most peaceful it had been in a while. We pray that she will continue to feel peace and comfort as she gets closer to Heavenly Father!
Something I have realized this past week is that Heavenly Father knows what our priorities need to be. Various times we had appointments with investigators or nonmembers that were not progressing which ended up being cancelled, and Heavenly Father lead us to new potential investigators that needed to hear the gospel at that moment. I know that Heavenly Father is at the head of this work! This is His work!
Sister Dotto is great, I am learning so much from her! I am trying my best to learn a lot quickly to be ready to become a trainer.
I love this gospel, I know this church is true! The church has truly been restored in the way Christ had intended it to be.

We will always be God's children, no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT. His love for us will never change.
Hopefully I will write more next week!
