Week 51

Week 51. It is hard to think about another 52 weeks but if these last 51 weeks are any indication of how fast the time goes by it will pass in no time at all. Jacob continues to amaze us with his strong testimony and strength. Here is his latest letter and picture see if you can pick Jacob out. My guess is you will have no trouble at all.
"Hey there!  Well it was certainly a great week with two baptisms!  We had a really special baptismal service when everything just came together.  I'll send the pictures, the young man is Aldair, he's the first in his family to get baptized, but the rest of his family is going to follow.  He wants to serve a mission and his mom has said that this will be her religion, without any doubt whatsoever.  The other woman is Cristina, a 62 year-old woman whose grandaughter was baptized two weeks ago.  The chapel is looking beautiful here and we're going to fill it with members!  Well, this week we were blessed with finding a woman who has just about lost everthing, but still continues forward in the faith.  As we were walking to our apartment, a little boy started talking talking to my companion.  I didn't pay any attention, but he asked us if we were ''Mormones''.  We followed him to his apartment and said that we would pass by tomorrow when we had more time.  The next day we stopped by and found Ana Maria, a single mom of two boys who has rejected every religious group out there for what she has seen.  She was also very ill with gastritis and an infection.  She has been gaining hope and confidence through Ther Book of Mormon and daily prayers.  We are going to visit her regularly this week and prepare her to be baptized in two weeks, because she really wants to do it.  We have been truly blessed and it looks like I'll have 6 more weeks here in Tlapacoyan!  Well thanks for filling me in on life back there, thanks for your support and prayers.  Love you all!  And I know this Work is true!
