I am SO proud of everyone this week. What a stellar week for the Fitzpatrick Fam! 

- sunny days


Well, it was also a pretty good week here! I just wanted to share a miracle that has made my week:

Since I got here to Pucallpa we had been visiting the parents of a missionary serving from the ward. They aren´t members but have been receiving the missionaries for more than a year! The wife has always been more receptive and they both listen and read but would not commit to a date to get baptized. The husband just had a lot of doubts and didn´t want to and the wife didn´t want to get baptized without him. It had been so frustrating to just keep visiting them for almost three months with nothing. So, we decided to drop them and not visit for a while. Then, last week I felt like we should just stop by and see them. We found the husband and just chatted for a little bit and then he asked us why we hadn´t been coming anymore. He had missed our visits and had kept reading his Book of Mormon. I commented that I was going to leave soon and shock of all shocks José, the hardest of investigators, is going to be baptized this Friday!! What a blessing. Seriously the most blessed I have felt in my mission/life. Just to see how his countenance and attitude have changed in the days since he made that decision has been a testimony builder to me! He just looks lighter and brighter. He is so firm in his decision and even though his wife is not going to be baptized he is going forward solo. Such a great man. Photos coming soon. 

We also had the baptism of Hna Zoraida and it was so great because I loved her testimony where she shared that we invited her to pray and she prayed and received the answer that it was true! It´s that simple! Although she doesn´t know everything she is going forward with faith!!

Love you all! See you soon!
