Well. Ill start off with the
news.....She's Baptized. It was super awesome. Everything just worked out
perfectly and there were no problems whatsoever. She was baptized
yesterday after church and it was super good because lots of members
came and she felt tons of support. I'm so happy for her, she was truly an
example for me of putting god first in our lives and his commandments
and having the trust in him that he will provide. And just like he says,
he does, he will always provide when we put him first.
Victoria is so
happy and has waited for this moment for a long time. I don't know if i
have told you guys this but her husband actually passed away about 4
years ago and she has 2 kids. One is 22 and lives with her and the other
i cant remember where she lives. But she has always wanted to have her son
listen to us to but he's never really wanted to. But he came to her
baptism yesterday and afterward he came to us wondering if we could
visit him yesterday because he really liked the baptism and felt really
good. So we went and visited him yesterday and had a great visit with
him and afterward ate cake with them to celebrate. It was a great day
and I'm just so happy for her and the choices and faith that she has.
So on Tuesday
we had changes. And i received a little baby zone leader that i need
to teach the ways to. His name is E. Ayala. He is from Mexico i cant
remember where. It's been a while since I've had a Mexican companion. He
has 9 months in the mission and is 26 years old so that's a little weird
but we get along pretty well but he tests my patience sometimes... but with
15 months in the mission I've become pro at patience so that's super
good.
So this week we had the chance to have a
70 spend a week in our mission named E. Valenzuala. So we had a zone
conference with him and on Saturday
had another leadership council with him and another 70 came to. It was
flat out sweet and i learned so much. He told us that the only reason to
have a counsel of some kind is to receive revelation, nothing else. In
the zone conference we talked about all kinds of stuff but he shared a
story about E. Oaks that really stuck out to me. He said that last year
he was with E. Oaks and they were at a conference and E. Oaks got up and
talked and in hus talk he said that he would talk about 3 different
points of something, i cant remember what. But anyways he finished his
talk and only talked about 2 points not the 3. So he and E. Valenzuala
were talking afterward when E. Oaks realized that he had only talked
about two. He then told E. Valenzuala that after each talk he gives, he
kneels down and prays and asks for forgiveness for the things that he
couldn't say. Then he forgets it and looks looks forward and starts
preparing for the next chance he gets.
So now
that we baptized Victoria, we just have to find and find and find. We
actually had a successful week and found 3 new promising investigators.
We just need to be diligent and obedient and do our part and the rest
will come.
We lost lots of good missionaries
in our zone this last change so right now were struggling a little bit
and we have lots of people that don't really want to work. Sometimes
missionaries just confuse me but hopefully they can have a
change of heart and turn it around.
That's
about it fam. Love you guys so much. Rooster happy b day this next week.
I am so happy and so blessed to be a missionary and to see so many
miracles.
