Sister Viva la Pina : Are you the Mormon Missionaries?!

My dearest family and friends!

Wow what a week!! We were super busy, and the best part is, is that we saw so many miracles! I don't have a lot of time to email today, but I will try my best! First, this week is transfers and I literally cannot believe it! I also can't believe that I entered the MTC exactly two months ago! CRAZY!!! I'm stressing about transfers but Sister Helmbold is still the true MVP and helping me pull through the stress! Bless her sweet soul!

Tadem is getting baptized on the 26 now because it's stake conference next week. But she is so excited! We went to the visitors center with her and Sister Roberts which was super spiritual! I am so excited for her!

Now onto the miracles! The biggest one is.... SALEENA FINALLY GOT BAPTIZED!! It was kind of a surprise but we are beyond excited that she finally just did it! Funny story, one night she just called us and was like okay let's get together and talk dates! So we did and we set it for Saturday November 12 at 6:00! That was a miracle! It was my first baptism so that made it even more special!

One day while we were in Excelsior Springs we felt like we should go and visit this potential investigator at these one apartments, so we did. As we were there they said that the guy we were looking for didn't live there any more and they weren't interested either. That was a bummer! But we felt like we needed to stay there at the complex so we knocked on a couple doors. We knocked on one door and they weren't home, so we knocked on another one. This cute old guy opens the door, but said he wasn't interested. So that was again a bummer. We started to leave and i was standing behind the car waiting to back Sister Helmbold and all of a sudden a lady comes out of her house and was like "Are you the missionaries I talked to on the phone?" I looked at her and was like what is your name? She told us her name is Shelda. Sister Helmbold and I started to talk to her a little more and she was like, "are you here to deliver me a Book of Mormon?" We gladly told her we have one just for her. Apparently she ordered a Book of Mormon because her boyfriend is a recently baptized member of the RLDS church. So we aren't sure if they ordered our Book of Mormon or one from the RLDS church but hey she has our Book of Mormon and we are super excited to hopefully teach her this week! It was such a tender mercy and definitely a miracle!

Today we went to lunch with my favorite sisters ever! Sister Morgan and Sister Baggett and of course Sister Helmbold! Seriously though they are absolutely amazing! I am surrounded by the best of the best missionaries! Their examples are phenomenal! I am just so blessed to be in this mission at this time with the people I am surrounded with!

Thank you all for your prayers and your support! I love you!!
