Week 66: Antonella's and Melissa's Baptisms!

Hola Familia!!

ANTONELLA SE BAUTIZÓ! (ANTONELLA WAS BAPTIZED) It was really sweet and her whole family came. Even her dad who lives in Santiago traveled for one day to see her baptism! So many members came to support her and she looked like a little angel in her white dress and flowers in her hair. She came out of the water with the biggest smile on her face and said she loved her baptism because the water was so warm haha. a really big miracle was that her mom, Pia, said that she wants to start reading the book of mormon and asked us for her own copy! Pia didn't believe in God or anything before we started teaching her family, but she said that she has seen a difference in Antonella and her family since we started visiting them. She said she really likes the church and we can see her faith starting to grow. Niños are the best! They are so pure and willing to follow Christ and I hope with my whole heart that she will be able to help her family come unto Christ as well!

Nelson told us last week that he has a lot of personal problems and that he needs some time alone to sort them out. So that was really sad because he was progressing so well! But maybe right now isnt his time. I know he has a testimony so his time will come!

Today we went to La Cruz! its a huge cross on top of one of the hills in Coquimbo. Weve been wanting to go this whole cambio and we finally went. I LOVE MY ZONE! Everyone is so chill and we have so much fun together. on the bus ride home we were all making raps in Spanish about missionary work and it was hilarious.

We had 2 intercambios last week and it was really fun to work and learn from the other hermanas here. I'm the oldest hermana here in the northern part of the mission (or the one who has the most time) actually I'm one of the oldest in the whole mission. haha! But I still learn new things from all the other missionaries here.

ALSO MELISSA FROM QUILPUE GOT BAPTIZED TOO! she emailed me and she seems so happy. I'm sooooooo happy for her!

I'm so grateful for the miracles I've seen! The gospel is true and I know Christ is leading this work!

Con mucho amor,

Hermana Snyder
