3 Miracles, and 14 months completed

Dear Family



Wow, these week has been a long good week. The assitants to the president arrived here last Sunday night to work with us a Little here, they are awesome an helped our area out a ton.

So we started this week hoping to have one baptism, but that baptism didnt go through, he is faaaaarrrrr from ready to being baptized. But after a week full of miracles, we did have 3 baptisms, the Lord blessed us alot.



So we went to an investigators house on Monday, his name is Nicholas, and he has tons of assistances already from years ago, but we found his name in the area book, and decided to check it out. We went there on a Wednesday, and he accepted a baptismal date right off the bat, then on Sunday, him his wife and a daughter came to district conference with us. Then on Monday we started getting serious with him, telling him that his family are ready for baptism, and after a couple days, all five of them wanted to get baptized, and married. So on Thursday when we did the interviews, everything was going great until we had the interview of the mom, she passed the interview, but when she was asked if she wanted to be baptized and married this coming Saturday, she went a Little crazy, ok I lied she went totally crazy, she just ran away and wouldnt even talk to us.

It was actually kind of sad to see, but through the power of faith, prayer, fasting, priesthood, hope, and with the members, finally Saturday morning she agreed to being married, but she doesnt want to get baptized yet. So we had the wedding and the marriage. And it was a sweet experience because Nicholas was so ready to get baptized, it was just his wife that was impeeding him. He was even willing to be seperated from her in order to complete the lords commandments, and get baptized, but it all worked out good, and the lord blessed us with a tender mercie, a miracle, and 3 baptisms.



But besides the heat and sun that make you sweat and burn you, the bugs that are constantly in your ears and hair at about 6 o clock at night, and the dust that turns your clothes red, the work is going amazing here in Natalio 10, we will be baptizing every week.The work is going amazingly good, just dont have money because it all went to the travels to the temple and district meeting, and the wedding we had to pay for. So this week me and my comp will be learning the real meaning of sacrifice, as we eat rice, bread and water.




Hope all is well there, and I love you, and am always praying for u guys




Love Elder Chase Coy Stewart
