HALFWAY,SHOTS,BAPTISMS,INTERVIEWS

It's my halfway mark CHEVERE :) It's gone by super fast!

Also, this week was CRAZY!!!

Tuesday: We went to the capital to see why my hip was hurting so bad. It turns out that I have some sort of bursitis or tendonitis in both of my hips. SOOO, I had to get shots of something on my one side to see if it would help (it does.) Now I will have to go and get it on the other side. PARTY!!

Wednesday: We had interviews with president! They were great!
I love interview days

Thursday: NINE MONTHS IN THE MISSION (HALFWAY). It was a very trunky day for me, also completely fantastic. Now I am on the downhill.

Friday: We put another baptism date for a 20 year old named Johnfrey. He found us on the street and asked us how he can become a member.  Love it when that happens!

Saturday: THREE BAPTISMS :)))))) YIMI,YIRI, YEREMY WERE BAPTIZED. I'M AM SO HAPPY! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND ALSO HILARIOUS BECAUSE AFTER THEY CAME OUT OF THE WATER THEY SWAM OUT OF THE FONT BECAUSE THEY HAD NEVER BEEN IN A SWIMMING POOL BEFORE AND THE BAPTISMAL FONT WAS THE FIRST "POOL" THEY HAD EVER BEEN IN!  :)

Sunday: Four confirmations. Also, we ate Sancocho at a members house (so yummy)

Also, hermana Jackson and I are being super fitness now and I have found a new love for ginger. We make homemade juice with a lot of ginger.

Love it here and love you all!

Miracles, transfer #7

Hey!!   I'm going to be really quick but this week was AMAZING!!!

We had two baptisms. Veronica and then Carlos. They went so well. Our mission in July brought 213 souls into the waters of baptism!   We are becoming a consecrated mission and the Lord has blessed us to find such prepared people. Carlos missed his confirmation because his mom had to go to the capital to get hearing aids!  She is going to be able to hear!  Before she was deaf and mute. We could not be happier!

Transfers are here and I'm staying with Hermana Jackson in Villa Verde. This is the first time in a while that I have stayed the same! I am so excited. We were both praying that we would stay together. 

We are putting baptism dates with ton of prepared people. We have the blessing to see the fruits of the labor we have been putting in. :)

ALSO, THERE WAS A DEAD BAT IN OUR CLOTHING DRYER  AND I MAY HAVE ACCIDENTLY KILLED IT BECAUSE I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS THERE.  OOPS!

Love you all,
Hermana Shepherd
