First off I have to comment, because I promised my branch president that I would, we had 71 people in church this week. Yes that's right, SEVENTY-ONE!!! It was nothing short of a miracle. The weird thing was that it didn't feel like there were any new people there or people who were returning because everyone was just so warmly accepted. Basically it was thrilling. Also, thanks to mother nature and Benjamin Franklin, we gained an hour...and most of Mexico was not aware so everyone showed up early, thinking they were late, and we not only started Sacrament Meeting on time BUT there were about 40 people there. It just had me and Presidente with huge smiles on our face the entire time.

| Cristina's Baptism |
Speaking of miracles, there were so many that happened this week I think it would be impossible to list them all but something that was certaintly a miracle for two sister missionaries who were crazy lost in what felt like tornado winds and a lot of rain was the random car that stopped and offered us a ride! I love all memebers in every part of Mexico! Our baptizm this week came together and we had an amazing turn out. The coolest part was that the boyfriend from Utah gave a talk via skype! Probably the first and last time were going to do that but it was super cool! At the end of the service we were talking to her boyfriend and Cristina got all serious and told her boyfriend that she was going to serve a mission....the whole room got REALLY silent and the poor guy got super red....and then we all started laughing cause it was a joke. Basically shes asked him a LOT about missions because she now has such a desire to serve one...so we shall se what actually ends up happening. She would be such an amazig missionary and im kind of half supporting it. The whole family is just so incrediable that i cant help but smile when Im around them. The mom is mom, if that makes sense and I cant wait for Momma N to meet her cause I know theyll be great friends.
There truly is no greater joy then watching others take the steps that we know will bring them more happiness then we can express. This week I was hit a little by a wall of pride that made me realize that I know this language now and I can really say stuff. I think the best part is that I can now target peoples needs and really express to them the importance of the message we bring. There is nothing like the
gospel and there certaintly is nothing else that is as precious in our lives. I just love how the mission has given me such a different perspective on life and true purpose. As we keep an enternal perspective we can have more joy then we can even fathom.
So much love,
Hermana Neuberger
