Dear Family,

The work here is really picking up. We had the greatest miracle this week as we were out working. On wednesday I believe we were on our way to dinner and we were at a red light waiting to go and there was this other guy on his bike at the light as well. We started talking to him and found out that he had previously met with missionaries before. He asked us if we were the missionaries that go to the church just up the street, we said yes and he was excited because that was the same one he went to when he was investigating before. He told us he had been talking with a member of our ward about the church and wants to get baptized! We've now met with him 3 times in just 4 days and he wants to met again tonight. The guy is just on fire and is just eating up everything we're teaching him. He accepted to be baptized and is working for April 10th as his baptism date. The only problem is he's currently dating a less active and they're living together right now. He's aware that he needs to be in separate apartments or get married before baptism and he even accepted that and said that was something he was willing to do. The Lord definitely played a huge role in all these series of events. April 10th is right before transfers so I'm praying and hoping that everything goes well and he makes that day happen. 

I forget what I tell you week to week so sorry if I tell you some of the same stuff. Sochi is doing  great as well, she's starting to get amazing fellowship and feels really included. We had a super spiritual lesson with her this week and I know its only a matter of time before she is willing to set a date for her baptism.

Omar came to church again. He's basically just a dry mormon. He's had callings and goes to church most of the time so he's basically just sitting on the edge of the baptism font. We're really hoping he makes that decision soon. 

We've been teaching this guy names James for awhile now and he's  Pentecostal. We had the craziest lesson with him this week. We brought our ward mission leader with us to the lesson and James tried to heal him of this disease he has and started speaking in tongues and everything. It was pretty crazy. haha 

Have a great week loves you guys!
