holy garbanzo beans‏

So kind of like last week I have no time. I think I will start writing my Mass email first and then get the the individual ones if i have time.

So this last week has been amazing. We have been teaching Irina a ton and she is progressing really well. She is keeping all of her commitments and she believes that everything we have taught her is true. She is so cool  she is totally jumping into the whole church life. She has been going to young womens, reading scriptures, praying, going to church and she is going to the stake young womens camp this week. I think she will really enjoy it. Her Baptism is going to be amazing  I can already tell she will be such a solid member.
We had a lesson with Astu this last Sunday. Astu is one of our recent convert's wife. She doesn't speak English and Toze, her husband isn't the best translator so we brought Pedro along with us. We taught her the plan of salvation and the spirit was definitely there. I kept looking at her facial reaction to see if she is feeling it.  Pedro was key. We really needed him there so we could explain some things that she didn't understand before. Pedro bore a powerful testimony about the authority of God and how it back on the earth. I knew she was feeling it by then and he expression told it all. She said if she finds out it is true then she will be baptized. We asked her to say the closing prayer and as she was saying it she just started crying. and she didn't stop crying for like a minute after the prayer. She is amazing and I am sure she will be baptized. 
Life has been so good. The Lord has been giving us so many blessings and he has helped us so much. All of the people that we are teaching right now are so prepared I am sure if a bowling ball taught them correct doctrine they would be baptized. Literally Portadown is Gods Kingdom  in the UK.
I love teaching these Portugues people because you cannot leave there house without them feeding you. They are so nice and they are really sincere when they say that they want to learn they will listen and they will put in the effort to find out if what we are saying is true.
If you can just keep this ward and this area in your prayers that would be appreciated, we are teaching two northern Irish men right now and they seem to be in a rut. so if you could keep James and Christ in your prayers, heavenly father would appreciate that. Because we need some more worthy priesthood holders in the ward. 
I love you all and I know this church is true. I hope you all have a great 4th of july. our day of independance.
Shout out to Emily Eckman and Reggie Northrup. They are now missionaries for the Lord. Love these two.
