Week 86

        This week on Elder Silva's mission it was awesome. We had the baptism of Guadalupe! She's great, she is friends with Paola who got baptized three weeks ago. We found Guadalupe when we were teaching Paola and and told about sharing the blessings she's received with others. She asked how she'd know who to invite to share the gospel with and we told her that the only person that knows this is our Heavenly Father. He knows all his of children's thoughts, desires and situations that they are going through. 
        So we invited her to pray and ask God to put someone in her way so that she can share her testimony. She said that she was going to do it and that she would contact us if anything happens. Guess what happened the next day she went to school? Yup, her prayer was answered; it was at 9:30 am when I received a phone call from Paola. She said "I can't believe it I can't believe it, I have someone that wants to hear you guys and she is right her next to me¨ and it was Guadalupe! 
         That's how we found Guadalupe but that's not all. While we were teaching her, we invited her to be baptized and she said ¨Yes¨ but she then said ¨wait my parents will never let me get baptized in your church¨ and we asked her why not and she said "because my parents are super Catholic and they will never let me.¨ We asked her if she really wanted to do this and if she wanted to receive the Holy Ghost in her life? She said ¨Yes," then we told her ¨have Faith and everything is going to be fine." She agreed and that same day she called her parents and her parents said yeah it's fine if is something that she wants then it's ok! She was speechless and started to cry because she never thought her parents would support her decision. 
         Last week Guadalupe had a lot of trails because random people would start talking to her and tell her that her that she was making bad decision. We told her not to worry and to always remember the feeling that she felt during church and during the lessons. This last Saturday was her baptism and she was extremely happy with the decision she made! I know that our Heavenly Father answers our prayers like Paola's prayer was answered that day. And they are answered so that other people can be blessed like Guadalupe!
