Factativa is now a Ward

Still keepin it real here with my favorite paraguyan companion.

The Facatativa branch is now offically The Facatativa ward. Movin' on up. It was super cool to be here for it. I wanted to stay long enough to be able to see the magic. From the normal 85 persons that attend, this sunday bumped up to a big 168. What's up! There's talk about looking for land this week here in faca, and a possible two more missionaries to share the work. Right now our area is on fire! we went from a zero baptismal dates to 7. Were finding people like nuts. This sunday we recieved three references of people that want to get baptized. sooo goood!

The transition to a ward was filled with the Spirit. this change has been really important here. They made invitations, worked all week passing them out to the less actives. I love this branch, i mean ward.

The relief society went saturday to deep clean the chapelhouse we use. and our investigator Sandra was there on time at 930 ready to work. I've never seen a investigator sooo pumped and excited to be part of the Church. She in little less then a month feels as though the Church is already hers. She reffers to the Relief society in US and WE. she's the best. She tells everyone that everything we've taughter her ´seems perfect`. And that to her, the idea of baptism is the ´best thing` that could happen. With the little she has learned, tries to get all her family to live the gospel. Her daughter says shes nuts because she reads the book of mormon everyday for at least an hour. She tells us she knows its true because when she starts to read it she can't stop. And her husband is a maricle in his self. He's a former paramilitar (anti government forces). He gave him self in and now is sported by the goverment. When we first got there, he didn't even want to leave to talk with us, and now with the help of the Lord and a softened heart by the power of his wife, he know has a baptismal date for the 25 with his whole family. The last time we came he invited his neighbors to listen.

I love this work.

i love you all.
