7/12/16 letter

Hola,
This week was so good! Our investigator, Margarito, is getting baptized on Saturday, and he is sooooo prepared and awesome. We went through the baptismal interview questions with him and he answered them all perfectly. I also found out that this lady I taught in Yuma, Jennifer Rogers, is getting baptized on Saturday too. Our investigators Angelo and Valeria who came to church for the first time last week accepted a baptismal date for August 13 and want an eternal family with their 3 young sons. In one of our lessons, we showed them a picture of a family from the Yuma branch dressed in white with their
4 little boys in front of the San Diego temple and they said "Wow!
That looks like a fresh start. I want that for my family." They're super cool!

On Friday night, I got to go to the Mesa temple visitors center with our ward mission leader and his teenage niece and nephew who recently moved in with him, who we are teaching. After watching the Restoration movie there, Ana (16) said (in Spanish) "I had a lot of doubts and questions, but the video answered all of them." Their mom came over from Mexico just barely on Saturday and she came to church on Sunday and felt like everything said was exactly meant for her.

And we were able to find our investigator, Porfilio, twice this week who we can never find. He had read in the Book of Mormon and gave us a play by play of what happened in the chapter and compared it to his own life. It was way cool.

This week I did exchanges with Hermana Sedgwick and it was so fun to be with my trainer again. Also, on Wednesday, I got to go to MLC (missionary leadership council) with the zone leaders, the assistants, and President Christensen and received trainings on the spirit in the finding, teaching repentance, and baptizing converts. Then on Thursday, the zone leaders and I relayed all the trainings to our zone in 2 hour long zone meeting.

Fourth of July was fun. It was our pday, so we taught from 4-7:00 and then drove up South Mountain and watched the fireworks in the whole valley. Today for pday, we played laser tag with our zone and it was way fun. Sorry I'm writing so late today. We did laser tag early and then went shopping and now I'm finally to wifi. Thanks for the package. It was great.
Love,
Hermana Gubler
