Marina, she was baptized this last week and her son paulo this week, pray that she can find a Job! And Sandra, pray that she can overcome her problems with the word of wisdom! TELEPHONE CALL WILL BE AT NOON more or less on CHRISTMAS DAY. Everyone just make sure you are at mom and dads house at about 11. Give the address of mom's ipad and we can face time! 

This week honestly was completely miraculous!!!! I know that this is the Lord's work! There is no way that all the things that have happened this week were coincidence! God is hasten his work! Just one example, we were talking with a man on the street and Sandra, now investigator, came up to us out of nowhere and said, " oh my son told me that he wants to talk to you." So, we wrote down there address and on Saturday went there. come to find out her sons are less active members and they both want to return to church! she Starting asking really specific questions and we responded with the Book of Mormon! I know that really the Power of the Book of Mormon is real! It answers all the questions of the soul because it holds the fullness of the Gospel of our Savior! Sandra went to church yesterday and said "It is now my Goal to be Baptized! If any of you are not reading the Book of Mormon, I plead with you to Start again today! Read every day! I promise you as a servant of the Lord and from the promises found in the scriptures that if you are reading alone and as a family and applying the principles taught every day in your life, You will easily distinguish right from wrong, Have the spirit as your companion, have an increased amount of Joy and Happiness, and feel a better sense of Determination and strength to put Eternal Life at priority number one! I Know that more miracles are yet on the horizon and we only need to use the word of God to see and receive them! Love you all, Elder Bell
