(This letter was sent 2/29)
Probably the most stressful but most rewarding week of my mission!
Hello everyone! This week was insane but I loved it!!! I'm just going to go right into it... 
So our investigator, Cesar. We've been working with him for a while. His wife is a member and his daughter but he's not. He and his wife aren't married. WE started teaching him in January. He didn't believe in God, didn't believe in Christ, and we never thought he would even come close to baptism... guess what... HE DID!!! On Wednesday we were the witnesses for his wedding. Hna Morillo and I had to leave the mission to sign some papers and get our finger prints done. That was insane because it took like three hours... On Thursday, Cesar and his wife had a fight, and they did not want to get married... I testified to Cesar that the calm loving feeling that he gets when he talks to us, prays and reads the scriptures, is the Holy Ghost. And I also said, that when he fights with his wife that isn't of God and he needs to change. Baptism was back on schedule. Friday we had the wedding. That took a good 4 hours!! But it was a wonderful success and they're happy! 

Saturday... THE BAPTISM!!!!! The spirit was so strong in that baptism! I'm not joking. I could literally hear angels singing when he came out of the water. I know that he made the right decision to be baptized. It was so amazing. 

On Sunday he was confirmed. He is going to be an amazing missionary and I’m so happy that I could help him find his way! 

Hna Morillo and I are the first missionaries in Chinchaysuyo to baptize families and men in over 4 years. It’s always been kids and women. So that’s cool! 

This week I learned how to call people to repentance. A convert that we have wasn't going to church. So Yesterday I told her that as missionaries we have the authority to promise blessings but we also have the authority to promise consequences. It’s true! The spirit testified to me and her that she needs to go to church if she wants the blessings. 

Anyway, this week was crazy! But awesome! Thank you guys! I love you all!!!
