HERES SO MUCH RAIN. And my umbrella is my new best friend haha.
It just started raining today and theres ALOT of it! But luckily Ive got a good umbrella to keep me dry! haha. So heres a little update from the week!
I dont realy have any good stories from the past week... Sorry :/ haha. But it was a good week! haha. Erica was confirmed this sunday! So her baptism was finally completed. Hurrayyyyy! And its awesome to see the change in her and the dedication she has to living this gospel. Im super excited for her. Now we just gotta work with her two kids so they get baptized as well! Theyre just so addicted to playing futbol.... that they never come to church. Gah. Working on it.
The other good thing is we have 2 other people who came to church and are progressing towards baptism! One is Mauricio. He`s 18 and has a weird situation. His family has shared with missinaries before. His parents didnt (and arent going to) get baptized because they`re not married. But the dad is married and has to go through the whole divorce process to be able to get baptized, which takes months... Mauricio is the oldest of 3. We`re working with him and he has a lot of interest in our message. His little sister is like 3 so obviusly cant be baptized... But his other younger brother, Carlos, is 12 and he was baptized 2 years ago.... He randomly got baptized with some cousin he has that also got baptized?... but never went to church again... ugh. ANYWAYS. but its awesome for us! Cuz its a good, awesome motivation for mauricio because his brother has already gone through this, and we`re all helping Mauricio get baptized and Carlos come back to church... So its just awesome haha. I feel like that wasnt a great explanation but oh well. Its just good all of it. Know that. haha.
They other person is a guy named Rodrigo who is really cool. He`s super smart, pretty nerdy, but really has alot of desire to grow his faith in God and realy learn for himself that God is someone real and really there. So it`ll be awesome to work with him.
I guess the only other thing i feel like sharing is that this past week I really grew an understanding and knowledge of the role of the Holy Ghost in our lives, and in our conversions. I could probably talk forever about it haha. But basicaly I just came to realize how important it is that we have the companionship of the Holy Ghost with us in our lives. He`s our friend, our companion, our comforter, teacher, and he who brings the peace and assurance that everything`s going to be okay that we need to be able to keep on moving forward. That`s why its so important that we keep the commandments. Because the only way we qualify ourselves for that companionship is through repenting and keeping the commandments. So repent! And keep the commandments! Pray, read the scriptures, go to church, serve! I could go on forever haha. But the Holy Ghost is SUPER important in our lives, and we need to be living worthy of his companionship always!
but so yeah im just super thankful that this week i was able to realize how great the importance is of all that. Something that I will have to apply en la vida ahora. haha.
Anyway. But so Ill send some pictures. I honestly dont have much else to say... haha. I guess the only other thing is... less than a month and ive been gone a year! Weeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiirrrrrrddddd
But I love you and miss you all! I hope all is well. Keep me in your prayers! Youre in mine! I send my love haha. Chauito!
