The work is moving forward!

It has been a brilliant week!! This week we started out with 1 baptismal date, and now we have 3!!! They are all for the 14 of Dec. it will be epic to have 3 baptisms 11 days before Christmas, I can't think of a better gift. Our baptism dates are: Terence, Selam, and Yassmin (Selam's 10 year old daughter). All three of them are super excited about their baptisms as well, so we pray that nothing changes that. They all were at church yesterday, and Selam also has 2 other daughters, one that is 3 and one that is 5. It was great having the whole family come to church. The ward already loves them, they will be a big help to the this ward. 

Since I have been in Chrystal Palace we average about 40-50 people at church. Yesterday there was 65. If we keep it up the rest of this month they will start to build a chapel for the Crystal Palace ward, which would start at the end of January. The ward is doing really well, everyone is starting to catch the missionary spirit, and inviting Less Actives, and nonmember friends to church, its great!

We also had a conference this week. Elder Teixeira, from the area presidency, came and visited the mission. He is a great guy and we learned so much from him. I love conferences, you always feel inspired and have a stronger desire to work harder. We are excited for another week and are hoping to have a couple more dates if all goes well. The work is moving foward and it is an hounor to be apart of it. Thanks again for all your prayers and support. I hope you all have a lovely week!! Stay warm!! Cheers!!
