Hola Familia!!
¡¿Como esta?! This week has been super busy, we have so much going on but I love it!
First off, Mayumi´s baptism!! The day before we got knews that
there was no agua en la capilla!! This happens a lot actually, the tanks
are empty or something and there is no water. It has happened to us
like three times. (but we fixed our sink now so thats good news). There
is a big water tower close to where we live.(like in c-stat, I love
having that landmark) On the water tower it says ¨´Claro¨¨ which means
like clear or sure. They say it so much here in converstions. It is fun
to use. Well anyways, no agua. Yeah, big problemo because that means no
baptism! And we had made a ton of invitations and invited all the ward
and our investigators! oops! So we were praying so hard that there would
be water and it would all work out.
Well that night we got a call saying there was water in the church
now!! We were so relieved. The next day when we went to our meeting, we
looked in the font, and there sure was water in there, but it was super
dirty! ahhh! Long story short, we ended up having the baptism in a
church building about five minutes away. Everything ended up working
out, and la familia Bayona Benites even came!! The baptism was so neat
and Mayumi was so happy and I could see such a difference in her! The
water was freezing cold and she was shivering, but the warmth of the
spirit was there! It was such a great experience. From the whole water
experience I learned the Lord hears our prayers, and wont always answer
them in the way we want, but everything will always work out!
We are making wedding invitations for the Familia Bayona Benites and helping them with a reception for the 7th of september! It has been so fun teaching them, they are so receptive and Barnove teaches me way more than we teach him!
All is well here in Paita, and every day I am more and more
grateful for yáll, for the gospel, and for my testimony! Love you all so
much and hope yall have such a great week!!!
love hna g
