Bom dia minha familia!
Wow I am already here writing another email, I can’t believe
that... so what can I say about this week? Oh we had a baptism that is good
news! It was a boy named Junior, he is a nephew of a member who really loves to
go to church but his family is kind of out of the loop so they never really
tried to help him get there. But we worked it out with his aunt and her family
to always take him with them, and they live on the same street so it’s perfect.
He is a really cute kid, he was super nervous for his interview with the elders
haha. He kept repeating the definitions of the word of wisdom and what a
prophet is and all of that so he wouldn’t forget. It was nice to have a lot of
good ward members there too to support him. That’s what I really love about
this ward, no matter how old you are or if you know the person or not, you’re
there to support all of Gods children. The people here are so genuine with
that-really look to serve and uplift and integrate others. Not everyone has
this perspective but since most everyone here is a convert they all know how it’s
like to start off in the church not knowing anyone and feeling overwhelmed. That’s
what I love about working in these areas.
Other than that there’s not really anything to report, lots of
our investigators went to church but they all have to get married first... our
investigator progressing the most, her husband is in jail... so there’s that. We
are trying to figure out how to get them legally married while he is locked up.
This is true love people. Oh and I got to go on splits this week, but for the
first time in forever I was the one RECIEVING the instruction and help!! It was
so great. I didn’t have to worry about what to tell her to work on or anything I
just got to teach and meet people like a normal day. What a wonderful world it
is.
Anyways that’s all I’ve got folks, I hope you all are praying
not just for the missionaries but being agents and praying so that you can each
be better missionaries! I think a lot about the scripture in Matthew 10:23 I
think, that says if we confess Christ’s name in front of men, He will also
confess ours at the last day. But if we negate His now (aka not talking about
the gospel), He will negate us too at the last day. Just food for thought ;) I love
you all and know you are capable missionaries!! Help someone out this week remember
their true heritage! I love you all até logo!

Here’s a pic of my favorite baby girl in the
ward-Loreina, who I have somewhat adopted as my own child, Juniors baptism with
his mom and sister who we´re also teaching but they have to quit selling meat on
Sundays to be baptized (and his mom has to get married-surprise surprise), and
the splits I went on with Sister Custodio!
