It was a super happy great miracle
filled fun week! Alexis was baptized and it was so great!! It made my
heart hurt a little that no one from his family came, but he had a great
big family right there to welcome him in! :) After the baptism the
elders and other young men were planning to play soccer at 5 am
today...haha That just makes me so happy and it was such a great
experience seeing him go from someone yelling at us from his house
without a shirt on, to a faithful member of the church dressed in white!
Thats what this is all about! His faith remeinds me of the brother of
jared. He had such great faith, he saw the hand of the Lord! I konw that
as we have faith in him, it will open our eyes, and we will be able to
see the hand of the Lord so much greater in our lives.
Everyone has a copy of Preach my Gospel right? I
sure hope yall do! I loved how we used to do family night with the
lesson on something from PMG. Elder Ballard says we all need one, and so
I think we all better should get it quick if we dont already have one!
In our Multi zone conference we talked so much about
the book of mormon and how important it is to read and feast upon
daily, and how key it is in gaining a testimony that joseph smith was a
prophet. I finished the book of mormon today in Spanish! Took me a
while, but Dad taught me what footnotes are and I like those. :) Im
excited to start reading it again,a nd IM pretty sure will go a lot
faster this time since I acutally understand spanish now. :) This book
is true, I know it! It has blesed my life more than anything else, and I
konw that as we constantly feast upon the words of this book, we wont
go astray! I also found out some super great knews from sister eams who
is in paita. CARLOS BAPTIZED MARCELLA!!!!! I almost cried when she
showed me the picture! Carlos is who we taught for about 4 months and
then was baptized, and marcella we taught for all 6 months I was there.
Her time finally came and was baptized, and Carlos did it! Oh the Joys
of being a missionary, seriously!
I had an exchange with hna Rosas!!! LIttle family
reunion! Incase yall forgot, she is my mom, or she trained me! And I
could understand her this time! hahahahaha She is SUCH a great
missionary. I feel like I was starting to get deflated a little, and
wow, she sure blew me right back up! (In a good way, in the analogy it
sounds bad..) Anyways, she goes home in May, What!!! Time goes way too
fast!
Easter is this weekend!!!! We eat something called Malaravia, every friday
of this month. It looks like mashed potatoes, but really is bananas and
cheese and I dont know what else but it is SO GOOD. Yall should look up
a recipe and try it. For real so good.
I listened to all of priesthood session this week,
and wow, it was so great! Love the talk by president uchtdorf. Sleeping
through the restoration isnt allowed. We need to get to work! There is
no stopping! Helping others learn about the resotration of the gospel is
so imporatant, how else are they going to know that the church of jesus
christ has been restored??! Yeah well, good things dont have to happen
in the week for us to be happy...If we want to be happy all we need to
do is forget our selves and get to work. So keep being happy erre one,
and that means were getting to work!
love yall tons.
Los Amo!
