She said Yes! Baptismal acceptance.

¡[An investigator] recibió su respuesta!  No estaba en la lección para escucharle, pero ella está muy contenta con su bautismo que va a venir muy pronto. Su familia le ayuda y son mucho mas felices. Aún los niños se están portando mejor.   Estoy bien y muy animado por poder verles in su progreso.  Élder R. era muy divertido y estoy muy agradecido por poder trabajar con él. Aprendí mucho. 

In case you can't understand what I wrote and you didn't read last week's...
A week ago, we challenged [an investigator] to pray about the Book of Mormon with a true desire to act on what answer she received. 
She did it.  She received an answer. She said she was thinking, when all of the sudden she felt EXTREMELY happy and calm. She said the feeling was strange, unlike any other feeling she's felt. Sadly I wasn't in the lesson, but I was probably about as happy as her when I heard this.
She is currently stopping smoking, only one cigarrette, and I'm sure that she can do it very very soon, and the answer she received definitely gave her some animo.
We're very excited for her still, and her family is improving as well, even though they were fine before, but you can still notice the difference in calmness and happiness in the house.  The children are more obedient and listen to her more.  She also seems more sure of herself and confident. It's great.

I still can't put up pictures of the mountain we climbed last monday. I'm currently in a trio of missionaries until my companion arrives. My other just left for home on saturday because he was serving 30 days extra to be able to visit some of his converts. It was great, the time we had.

We'll see what happens these next two weeks, but I'm pretty sure I'll still be here another 6 weeks. It's awesome here, and getting very hot very fast. There was a virus 2 cities over that got in the water, and spread a little bit and the water is dirty enough that it seems normal. A few days ago, we had to stop drinking the water, but we still have to when people give it to us in juice... it's made my stomach a little irritated, but not too bad. 

But hey, I love you all. If you want a cool Scripture, I command you to read Matthew 7:21, and think about the temple.  Whatever we need to take care of to get there, let's start now. Whoever needs the Genealogy work done, let's start now. Whoever of your friends hasn't been to the temple, go together soon, or start sharing the gospel now. Let's do good now. Not tomorrow. Make plans now!

Go work with the missionaries this week. 
Love ya'll. Ciao.
