Dear Sis Bassett,
So this is a rushed version, and there are probably a ton of typos, but here is a miracle in progress!  We'll write more next week.
Nancy and her girls are getting baptized!!  This has been such a wonderful thing to ask for something so specific and see it come to pass!  Our first big hurdle was that they had to come to Church yesterday. We had set the baptismal date with them, and we told them that if they would read the BoM and pray every day, that they would be able to get baptized on Dec 26. They were all so excited about it, and they have such incredible faith!  We visited them a couple of days later, and they had read a chapter from the BoM each day, and they had been praying in Spanish so that their father, who is a Jehova's Witness, and doesn't understand and want them to be baptized, could hear them pray.  He loves to hear them pray, and he has told them that he is glad that they do.
Then on Sunday, we fasted with the ZL's that they would be able to go to church and that they would be able to be baptized. We didn't know how it was going to happen, because we hadn't had a chance to get a Spanish sister over to talk to the father, but we knew that they needed to go.  When we called Nancy that morning, she said that Rudolfo, her husband, had a car apt that he had to go to right before they would need to go to church.  We prayed that all would go well.  We continued to fast, and right after we broke our fast, we checked our phone, and we had a message from the Elders telling us that Nancy had been at church!
And today, they had their baptismal interivews, and they loved it, and they are so excited that they are going to get baptized!  They announced it at the ward, and the primary teachers, ect said they are all going to be there.
Our next big hurdle is to make sure her husband is OK that they are going to get baptized.  When Nancy told him that they had gone to church, he was upset, but he still let us come in when we visited them later that night. When we talked to Nancy about him today, she said that she has a peaceful feeling that he will calm down, that he will be okay with it.  She said that even if he doesn't want to be baptized, that she feels that he will at least come with them to see what it is all about, and that he will even come to church every once in a while. Nancy has such wonderful faith, that I'm sure he will come around.  She also had a dream that he came to the Christmas lights and that he was talking to a missionary.  I am still praying that this dream comes to pass in the next couple of weeks. Her story is still a work in progress, but I know that it will continue to progress.

Thanks for all you do!
Sister Fonbuena



**Here's a note from her District Leader, Elder Thomas, about the same family:
The sisters have a great one. (Sister Dorius and Sister Fonbuena) They are teaching a family. The dad hasn't been willing to let her or the kids get baptized but they really want to. After much prayer and fasting the sisters gave them a date for this Saturday. I had the honnor of interviewing the Mother who really wants to be baptized. She explained that her husband is unwilling. I told her the story of Alma the older, a wicked priest who repented then taught lots of people. They (Alma & his people) escasped then got captured again, but through their faith they were delivered. I felt the Holy Ghost testify to her as I promissed that her husband will allow them to be baptized. I know he will allow it.

Thank you for all your hard work

Love Elder Thomas
