BAPTISMO!!!

23 Feb 2015

Adelma is just the best thing since sliced bread with peanut butter and oreos.

=)

i love her so much. she was really nervous to get actually baptized. like the literal motion to go down in the water and come back out. after saying the prayer, my comp went to dunk her, and she stopped!! and said no, wait wait... and my heart started beating really really fast. hahaha but we got her calmed down and the second time it went over well. =) haha when she said wait no, i froze=) haha so that was a very stressful moment of the week.

her confirmation day, she gave her testimony, and total NAILED it!!!! =) she got up there and gave a really good testimony, and even ended it in the name of Jesus Christ, without anyone else telling her to do that. =) and today she is going to accompany us to another investigator to bear her testimony. she is doing her family history now, and has given us like 4 referrals=) she is just a total champ=)

we had an incredible conference on tuesday. it was really inspirational. i loved it.

one thing that was said was.

when we were born, we passed through the veil and forgot all of the one on one time we had with our Father in Heaven and all the moments we shared. But He didnt. He still remembers, and still loves us just the same as he always did.

there were a lot of really special things that were said in that conference. it really helped me a lot. the way to teach people now has changed. just a lot of things. it was a conference with a 70. so it was a good time. got to see a lot of friends there too which also makes things fun.

one of the unexpected people there was a mini misionera from FEDERAL!!!!! lara chavez!! i couldnt believe it. it was really fun to get to talk to her again and just be in Federal for a little while. haha overall, really good day.

when we got back to San Cristóbal i felt like we needed to go to an incomplete family, it was already 915 and basically time to just go home, but we booked it over there and had a really good lesson. the Spirit was really strong and honestly it was a real testimony builder. this work is just about the funnest thing there is=)

so really pray for us to start finding some more people, and our goal is to help rita and andrea be baptized the 14 of march. pray that they will get a testimony from GOD. they are taking our word and the word of their dead father/husband, instead of praying and asking.

also we are praying to be able to baptize a family of 3, dad, mom, and a kid the 21 of march, we are going to do everything possible so if you could pray and see if we can have some miracles these next 2 weeks that would really help us a lot. =)

havin fun.
