Hello everybody! I hope this email finds you well back home!!!
My goodness what a week it was!! It was the last week of transfer two so now I am on transfer three so I am officially out of training now! How crazy is that right?? Well I have some miracles to talk about, then I will tell you about the transfer news!
Camila and Alejandra were both baptized this weekend!! I will never forget it! Camila is my first baptism!! Elder Scott baptized Alejandra!! It was a crazy week just making sure everything for them was perfect for the baptism, their feelings, their thoughts, everything! They have to be the most prepared people I have met for a baptism! They have worked really hard for it and I am so happy for them and am extremely lucky to have been able to participate with them on their special day! I will never forget the light in Camilas eyes, when she got to the church she kept saying how nervous she was and I promised her that she would feel different. Right after I pulled her up out of the water I could see a light in her eyes and she said how she was not nervous anymore at all! That has to be the best part of the missionary work is seeing them just glow after baptism!!! I have plenty of pictures of that day to send to you all!
Yesterday I confirmed Alejandra a member of the church in sacrament meeting. You guys know me, so you know how nervous I was and how stressed I was about it because I wanted her to be able to just have a BEAUTIFUL experience. It was incredible how the spirit guided me during that prayer to say the things I needed to say. After I said amen she stood up and said, "Caliente!" Ahahah she could feel the Holy Ghost enter into her heart!
Those were definitely the highlights of everything honestly!!! It is a beautiful thing to be a part of, to help these people make covenants with God and see the love He has for them!!
Well transfer news!!!
I am still in Catamarca!! Elder Scott went to Cordoba which was REALLY hard! I couldn't have asked for a better trainer than Elder Scott. He put up with my crap for 2 transfers! He never forgot to encourage me when times were hard, and always mentioned how much he loved me. He is going to kill it in Cordoba!!
Heres the crazy part to this news! I am now in a trio with Elder Weston and Elder Alvarenga! They are Elders who live with us who cover the Ambato area of Catamarca! So now we have two areas to cover together hahah!! We are going to be very busy this transfer! It will be a great transfer for sure!!
Spiritual Thought
Well the mission is definitely a place where you grow so much spiritually! I have had so many miracles that I cannot deny, I have had so many spiritual awakenings. That is my thought for you! Always hold on to the feelings of the spirit! It enables us to be happy when times are hard, and makes it easier when the doubts come in! I can tell all of you that you are all worthy to feel the love from God through His holy spirit. God has a plan for you, and wants nothing less than your happiness! Don't let the devil tell you otherwise! The devil is getting craftier and craftier with his work but you all have the power to push the devil aways and to invite the good! So do me a favor and give Satan a punch in the mouth this week!!
I love you all and will be sending you some pictures!!
Don't forget to email me!! I love hearing from you!
Love, Elder Weese
