5 de Mayo!!!

Buenas Tardes y Feliz dia de 5 de Mayo!
Fun fact: 5 de Mayo is an American holiday... but Hermana Rawlins and I are still going to celebrate by making some guacamole haha.
This week was a little bit hard because almost all of our progressing investigators had to cancel this week. Despite all the cancellations and no-shows, many great things happened! A and M are doing amazing. We taught them the Word of Wisdom this week and it was a lesson that I will never forget. We brought Hermano e Hermana Montecillo with us and their testimonies were so powerful! The biggest struggle for them is coffee. A told us she loves it and is super addicted to it. Hermana Montecillo was the same way before she was baptized. She bore her testimony of the many blessings she has seen from giving it up. When we first told them the things included in the W.W., A responded. "I'm sorry, I won't do that." However, as the Spirit touched them I watched as her countenance completely changed and by the end she said that she will live all the commandments. She has already gotten her answer that this is the true church and she will do whatever she needs to. :) M also said that he will live it. They came to church again with their kids yesterday and A went up and bore her testimony! It is so amazing how much progress they have made in such a short time.
Manuel and Diana are also going to be coming to the Branch now which is awesome!! Another great moment I had yesterday was sitting in Relief Society. The lesson was on The Book of Mormon and Diana made a comment and bore her testimony about it. I watched A listen intently and could almost see the Spirit working in her. 6 months ago, Diana didn't know if the Book of Mormon was true. Now she has a very strong testimony of it... and that testimony is helping others to come unto Christ too! That's exactly how its supposed to work! :)
We had about 45 people in the branch yesterday even without the Stake presidency, the Clements, and other members who came last week just to see who got called to the branch presidency. :)
What's more is that last Sunday the Stake President challenged the members to bring all of their friends and people they know to the branch so that more people could know about the gospel. Just one week later the Montecillos did that and brought 2 friends, V and R, who just barely moved here from Mexico. Hermano Montecillo explained to them a lot of the basic things about our beliefs and they really liked church. They said they would come next week too and we got them some Books of Mormon and are going to teach them this week!
Like I said, not too many more updates with other investigators right now... The other day though after our whole evening of appointments cancelled Hermana Rawlins and I prayed to know what to do and both got the same prompting to go see R. We taught him and his wife together. She was very nice. We have had an impossible time getting him to read/pray but she saw the Book of Mormon on the desk and started reading it before she even had met us! She's very into her Christian beliefs but we know we have met them for a reason and that Heavenly Father will work miracles in their lifes! Just as He does in all of ours.
Love you all and am excited to talk to you on Mother's Day!! :) Have a fantastic week! ♥Hermana Pierce
