Another great week in Paradise!!! Figurativly speaking.
This
week was another week of helping people find their salvation in Jesus
the Christ! We've walked our feet off, taught with the Spirit, and
baptized at the end of the week! Two kids who really wanted to baptize,
the parents want to baptize as well, we just need to take them to get
married this week, and then it will be their turn this Saturday! We're
working a lot to find a lot of Escogidos or in other words Chosen. It
doesn't sound as cool in English, but what we're really trying to focus on
is following the Spirit to find those people who really would listen to
the message that would change their lives for eternity, and we're finding a
lot.
Out of the bunch, there's this really cool couple, one of them is a
gringo, and he has a Mexican wife. (He doesn't speak English). However, they
both really want to do what's right, and get closer to God, and so we've
been working with them a lot this past week. This guy is hilarious,
always cracking jokes and finding the good things in life. Apparently
he thinks my comp has the face of a liar (He said jokingly).
Everything
with the recent converts are going great! Jorge and his son received
the Holy Priesthood this past Sunday, and they are progressing a lot! The
other converts are steadily progressing, just need to keep on visiting
them!
So, I have a challenge for all of you!!!! What is the
most important thing that we can learn here in this life? I'm going to
say, that this question cant be answered just by searching Google, and
there are no Spark Notes answers for this either. This is an answer
that your going to have to diligently search for, but I promise you, its
worth it.
I know this email is super short, and there are no
pictures..... One of the Hermanas in my district has it, I forgot to get it back after the baptism yesterday. But next week will be a whole lot
bigger, exciting, and with a lot more pictures!
Keep having a great time, and until nos vemos next week!
