The Last Stretch

Well, we are getting closer and closer to completing our mission and serving the Lord. we have mixed feelings because we want to come home, but we hate to leave our friends here in Mescalero. We have made some very good friends here and they are expressing sadness at our leaving. But the Lord is still working with us. We went to say good bye to Marquita whom we have been teaching for almost a year. She expressed a desire to be baptized. We were shocked and are trying to help her get ready. It is amazing how the Lord works in providing people for us to teach. We felt very bad when she didn't come to church on Sunday. She said she had been ill all night, but we will still work with her while we're here. Then Udaniel surprised us and came to church. That was a shock. We gave him the first lesson and he told the Lord in his prayer, thank you for sending the missionaries to help me find the way. We was so happy to see him and I gave him a big hug and he smiled all over. After sacrament meeting he told us he thinks he has found home and asked us to come and teach him more lessons. It is amazing how the spirit works. We are so excited and hope we can get a few more baptisms before we come home. Please pray for us. Like our mission president, "there are thousands of lost souls out there that are waiting to find the gospel, they just don't know how to find it. We are hoping to provide the way.
We sure love our children and grand children and are proud of the things they are doing. THe Lord has blessed us in so many ways. We love being his servants.
See you soon.
