Howdy everybody!! How was your week? I hope things are going well for y'all back home! Sorry if you all emailed me and I didn't write back, I am having problems with my Google account that I am trying to figure out so it's not letting me send anything. So my mom is gonna send this email to yall!!
This week was really good!! It was the last week of preparing our friend Diego for his baptism! He had so many temptations but oh my goodness he is just such a strong guy! He told us how when bad people would try to come inside his house to do drugs, smoke, or whatever it may be he would always tell them to leave. He is not about that life anymore. What an absolute testimony of using the atonement in your life, and laying down your past!
It has been tough finding people to teach in our area. We have been looking and haven't been having a whole lot of success but my companion and I have a lot of high hopes for this week!!
We have been dropping a lot of people due to no progression and what not. For example my last companion and I, were teaching a big family of 12. We had so many hopes for them but they would not come to church! We did everything we could do but no result. Elder Cunningham and I stopped by on Saturday to try and teach them and get them to church, finding them all drunk with a pastor in their house. When I tell you when you could literally feel the spirit just disappear as you walked into the house, I don't think I have ever felt it like that until we went there that day.
But like I said at the start of the email we were prepping Diego all week for his baptism and he made it!! It was an incredible experience to be able to baptize him and just see the pure joy in his eyes. His daughter who is just over a year old came to the baptism too!! It was his first time seeing her in 5 months!!
But that basically describes my week!! This weekend we will be baptizing our friend Joaquin so if you can all keep him and his family in your prayers it would be fantastic. Trust me, I am witnessing the miracles that come from your prayers!!!
I love you all!! Have a wonderful week! Chau!!
