One of the best things in the whole world

hey there family!
So this has been quite a week! An awesome last week for Hermana Curtis! Its been pretty busy trying to get her all packed and ready to go and at the same time seeing everyone that she wants to say bye too but it was good. I got to know a bit more of the members in our ward which was really nice.
This past week we had a lesson with Marcelino. And he came to church but still not super progressing. Like the thing he needed to be progressing would be a date for baptism. Marcelino has been being taught since august and has been dropped 2 times due to lack of keeping commitments. So me and Hna Curtis went in for our cita con el y estabamos tratando a entender sus necesitdades y porque no quiere una fecha de bautismal.... entonces we asked him what was impeding him from being baptized and he said that he just wants to learn more. we asked him if he knew this church was true and he said that he teaches good things. we asked him if he knew the BOM is true and he said its a good book. we asked him if he had asked specifically to know if the book was true and he said no. we asked what he would do if he knew the BOM was true. he said i would be baptized. So we said OK. Lets get an answer right now. we all kneeled down in a circle and I prayed first and then hna curtis and then Marcelino. all asking to know if the book of mormon was true and to receive an answer. the spirit was so strong and Marcelino was literally overcome by the spirit that we set him with a baptism date for May 28th. He came to church again this Sunday and stayed for both la santa cena and Sunday school. and this next week hes gonna come for the whole thing...porque poco a poco. :)
Other HUGE thing this week is that IRMA GOT BAPTIZED!!! :) :) :) :) one of the most spiritual and awesome baptisms I have ever been too. I cannot even put into words. Like was just one of the best things in the whole world. Her uncle is a member and he didn't believe us when we told him that she was getting baptized cause of how much shes changed. he came and baptized her and then on Sunday her cousin who just got off a mission is going to come and confirm her a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints! :) YAAAAAYYYY!

Then biggest thing this week is that it was transfers....... I am now a trainer. Which is so crazy to me...I definately feel like I could stay junior comp for longer but this is gonna be really good. It will be an adventure thats for sure. Her name is Hermana Hoer (pronounced Her) so isnt that cool? Shes a her and im a man. and together were a herman haha.... and Im really excited to serve with her these next weeks. we are gonna learn this area together and learn together. and it really is amazing how much I already feel the lord helping me with my spanish and with my remembering where to go and stuff. Like even though this is so much responsibility and work and not to mention that I have HUGE shoes to fill I am calm and have this peace that is unexplainable but I know where its coming from and Im really being made to grow. 

I love you all so much! Till next week!
Paz y Amor, Hermana Maughan
