Week 21

Things have been going great here we are baptizing the world!!! :) I am so happy to be on my mission, I miss you guys so much, but this truly is the best time of my life and it is going by soo fast! So Freddy has been coming out with us and he is a boss! He is really following the promptings of the Spirit as he goes and talks to people on the street with us, we have seen some sick miracles! We also were supposed to have 3 baptisms on this past Saturday but just had one. but we went and talked to one of the ladies and she said that she wanted to fast with her so she can receive an answer, so we did and she is getting baptized tomorrow night :)))
 
So cool story...
The other night I was praying and I had a strong and distinct impression to ask God to have Luz (an investigator)  have a dream that would confirm her thoughts on being baptized and for her to tell me about it the next day. Which was weird because it was in the middle of my prayer and completely random. Also Never before have I asked for anyone to receive a dream. The next day we had an important appointment scheduled for her regarding her baptism. She then tells us that SHE HAD A DREAM!! Her dream was that it was the end of the world and that she and her husband Julio (both non members) were standing on one side of a gate and her parents (both members) were on the other side all dressed in white. She said that her and Julio were sad and that they could be with her parents who were happy!!! I freaked out when I heard this. She told us that she wanted to get baptized the next day. So then at the end of the appointment she said the closing prayer and asked God to give her a dream again tonight, but just less scary. Then the day of her baptism she told us, that she had ANOTHER DREAM!! This time she was with her friends and they were all telling her not to get baptized, but then this angel appeared to Luz and told her to follow him, he then lead her to this beautiful garden and they talked about her baptism and how it was important and how her baptism was an answer to her prayers!! WHAT!? She got baptized last Saturday :) Here is another thing that happened. So before her baptism we had a missionary meeting and in the middle of the meeting we left to turn on the font, and when we came back 30 minutes later (It usually takes an hour to fill) the font flooded the room!!!!!!!!! And on top of that our mission president was there at the baptism!!! It was so embarrassing, the good thing is, no real damage was done and that she got baptized and she along with everyone else was able to feel the Spirit!
 So I email at the FHC (family history center) here and the reason why my time gets short is because transportation, but it doesn't happen to often! Well I gotta go hike a mountain now! Love you all! :)

Week 20

Good news!! since my wrist injury, I am finally able to do pushups! It is great my chest is actually sore for once!
The work is exploding here in our area it is weird. As soon as I got here I was told all negative things about how they had absolutely no success and then all hell broke loose the first few weeks and now we are experiencing sooooo many miracles! Freddy and Leonardo got confirmed this past Sunday and then got the priesthood. Freddy actually gave Leonardo the priesthood! It was awesome! Then we got to meet Leonardo's friend from Venezuela, she is a model!!!!!! She is gorgeous! She also wants to get baptized! I am baptizing a Venezuelan model!!!!!!! But she will probably have the ordinance done in Venezuela but she has already been to church and loves it, and Leo has been teaching her lol! It is great! ( sorry my time was cut short again) :(

Love Elder Hays

Week 19

Hey mom and dad, sorry but I have like an hour to email this week something came up, but it is all good :)
 I also got your package and I am SUPER HAPPY!! Thank you! :)
This week has been good. I bought a cheap but super good workout band that is high resistance for like 12 bucks! My Recent Convert Freddy also hooked me up with some thirty lbs dumbells for less than 5 bucks. So I have been working out! :) But my tires got messed up so I had to buy like $10 worth of Tire stuff at walmart :p

The baptism went sweet! We also have another one this weekend and then 2 the following weekend! :D BOOM!!!! :D 
I love you all so much and I will have a better email next week! :)))

You all are awesome!!! Love always,

Elder Hays
