May 27, 2014

Happy late birthday to little cousin Elle! I can’t believe she is 7 already!

It is so great to read all of your emails! I love that about P-day. Just listening to what’s happening in all of your lives. I can’t reply one by one but your emails are so greatly appreciated... and if they are extra funny, important or interesting I print them out to read now and later...and EVERYONE wants to be that person that gets their emails printed out and read multiple times by my eye balls.
This week I baptized JULIO! It was one of the greatest baptismal reunions I have gone to or participated in on the mission. The Spirit was so strong it was Undeniable.
Julio is a teenager that we have been teaching for a while... for him and his family these past 2 months has been very tough. One week everything’s good and the next another problem...and then he’s doing good again...and then another problem... until finally he said IM JUST GONNA DO IT! And that’s what he did. The problems went all the way up until his baptism hour... walking to the church building he crossed the street and almost got his by a car that didn’t see him, then when we were just about to start the reunion all the lights in the church building shut off for about 10 minutes.
Once we started the reunion however everything went smoothly. His Aunt Novellia and cousin Stefany who used to be less actives talked in the baptism and our convert stefany bore her testimony. It was great so see all the support that he was getting from his family and members of the ward.
He really has the potential to be a great leader and missionary in the future.
This past week I have been doing a very deep and extensive study of the restoration. I love how we can study the scriptures to understand the primitive church... and all of those principles that Christ taught... of prophets, apostles, quorums, 70s and priesthood have been restored ion our day. There is no better organization then the one that Christ has set up. And to be a part of the organization is amazing.
I will send picture of Julio’s baptism next week!

Love you!
