Hey everyone,
So it was a slow week and I was trying to figure out what I was gonna report to you guys today.  So while I was sitting in Sacrament pondering this question I looked back and saw one of our inactive members that hasn't been active in over 2 years, right now we are teaching her son.  What happened was her mother and sister in law offended her right after she got baptized resulting in her inactivity.  So we've taught her about forever families, and forgiveness, and the atonement.  Then yesterday they came to sacrament.  I was shocked but very happy, then it just got better after that.  Right after sacrament her mother in law came up and gave her a hug and they just sat there hugging and crying.  The mother in law apologized over and over and told her how happy she was to see her in church.  This was awesome to see because Philipinoes hold grudges like none other and for her to forget about it and come to church was a miracle.  Then for Sis. Penaflor to reach out to her like that was truely a miracle! That literally made my Day! Then as they walked out, I shook the sisters hand and sister Penaflor came up an gave me a hug and cried.  She was so grateful that we had gone to thier house and tried to get her back to church it was awesome.  That is just one way I've seen the fruits of our labors this week!  Although that moment was small and to some insignificant it made everything worth it. 
Other than that, I don't have anything great to tell you guys.  We have 1 investigator with a Baptismal date and we're gonna try and baptize her the end of this transfer which is the 2nd week of March.  We'll see how it all goes.

Sorry this is short but I gotta run

Love you all
