HI FAMILIA AND AMIGOS!!
This week came and went pretty fast. We lost the first round of March Madness :( So I wasn't a very happy camper Tuesday. We find out tomorrow if we made it to the 2 round of the Consolation bracket. I'm doing alright with my companion, I am learning how to have self control over my emotions in that fact that i am in control of how i feel. I am thankful for the opportunity to be in Maray I am loving every minute here. This has been my longest sector (THREE MONTHS) so I have been able to get to know all the members and to gain their trust.
We are preparing a mother of 2 recent converts to baptize this sat. Her story is the same as my first baptism here in the mission.Its been so neat watching her grow and to see the light of Christ in her eyes. We had an investigator come to church solo, with out us calling or bugging it was so neat and to watch him sit for all three hours was even better. It was testimony meeting and the members shared very strong and divine testimonies and class was about the priesthood. What a wonderful Sunday to have investigators. This is when the spirit hits me strong,to watch the people you have been teaching progress solo. Our other investigators Ana and Emilia are understanding more and are thinking about baptisms also..!! ah its been so neat to watch our little sheep grow and change and accept this gospel. We finally have a Lider of Misional which is going to help us a lot with working with the members and activities.
We were leaving lunch last Sunday when a women stopped us and said ¨ We have been waiting for missionaries to pass by, the elders said you could come by cause we want our daughter to be baptize¨ So Hna. Menghini and I are thinking okay they are less actives and the daughter will be counted as the wards baptism. We can still help the family be eternal. We pass by on Tuesday and the dad gives us this nice long testimony and I lose track of what he is saying so I decided to ask when was he baptized.. He mentions I'm not , she is but me and my daughter aren't... My heart starts to race... in my mind I m thinking YES!! WOW GREAT !! We can baptized a father and daughter!!!! Then 2 mins later my companion is confused and mentions so only you are baptized? and the dad says NO!!! None of them , they took the lessons and Chanaral and recently got married because that was one of the rules for them to get baptized... But they moved here and waited for the daughter to turn 8 and now they are all ready to be baptized.. So yep I get to baptize a family in April!! how neat is this!!! I'm so so stoked we really get to help this family be TOGETHER FOREVER!!!..
keep reading and enduring to the end in the Gospel and the Lord will bless you each very much
