6 MIRACLE BAPTISMS THIS WEEK!!!

Hola a todos...

I had an amazing week in which we saw so many miracles here in the zone of Maroñas!!! We had no baptisms planned this weekend when the week started and we were worried about reaching the zone goal of 18 baptisms. But we trusted in the Lord and worked with all the faith and diligence that we could muster, and the miracles began to appear... last sunday, the other missionaries in our house, Elder Burnett and Elder Dominguez, talked with a member that recently moved into the ward and who had a 9 year old son who hadn`t been baptized and he came to church and was baptized yesterday after stake conference. Monday, Elder Avalos and Elder Jimenez found a girl who wanted to be baptized and had come to church last sunday as well. Tuesday, We had a zone fast and that afternoon Elder Sasselli and I found a 9 year old son of an active member, Leandro Correa, who recently turned 9 and wanted to be baptized. Wednesday, Elder Saavedra and Elder Albujar found an old investigator and a friend of a family of members who wanted to get baptized, and finally Elder Maluff and Elder Chavez on Thursday talked with one of their investigators about being baptized with this group of investigators and he joined in and so we went from having no baptisms planned to having 6 miracle baptisms this weekend. Which put us up to 20 baptisms for the month of October and over our goal of 18. We were the only zone in the mission to reach their monthly goal that we set.

The Lord definitely showed us many miracles for all that we did in faith and I know that this is His work and that He can do anything to make it continue progressing if we are obedient and act in faith.

I also had a crazy experience with ringing a doorbell the other day... I went to ring a doorbell and some how the dog that was on the other side of the fence fit his head through a very small gap in the fence and was able to twist his head enough to reach and bite my right hand ring finger. I`m doing great and there is now problem but it is going to leave a pretty good scar. If you could please keep the healing and recovery of my finger in your prayers that would be great, I love you all and am so happy to be serving the Lord here in Uruguay! The mission in the best!

Love,
Elder Gardner
