Hello
my Lovelies!
First of all, YES!
Carlos #2 was baptized! And the coolest thing in the world happened. So his
step dad, Lee, is a RC who is almost at his year mark but he doesn’t have the
MP yet. So he got to baptize Carlos but wasn’t able to confirm him a member. He
was... however... able to help be a part of setting Carlos apart as an Elder
and receive the AP. But yesterday both Carlos' received the AP and Carlos #2
got it first, so he got to be a part of Carlos #1 receiving it. IDK if that
makes sense. But it was so cool! Also we sat in Elders Quorum for the first
time in our lives to be able to be there for them so that was neat too ;)
But it was such a
great week! Full of many milagros! We have been asked by the ward council to
really work more with the members, so we have been able to get a lot more
members out with us to our lessons which is so great! Seriously, the testimony
of the members is really that slap in the face followed by a tender hug from
the spirit. (My zone leader's words.) It’s so true though. President Hinckley
was spot on by saying that every investigator/new member needs a friend in the
church.
We also were able to
talk to sooo many people! Our miles have been constantly getting cut, which at
first I thought this was kind of annoying, until I realized how huge of a
blessing it was! We are literally out on our bikes every day now and it’s so
great. There are just so many people we pass by without realizing it. Also
we've been praying to be able to teach a family and we totally met one!! We
have a return apt with them later this week! (:
Really, this week was
so great. I feel like I've not worked this hard my whole mission. I love it.
Also, dad, you're going to be very proud. Today we helped a friend of a member
move into her home and she needed her table and kids beds built. Guess who got
to do that?? Im like laying on the ground with mah lil screwdriver underneath
the bed and I’m just like, if only my dad could see me right meow. Haha.
But yes, this week was
great. The cool thing about talking to more people means getting to bare your
testimony more times a day. I've found that the more I share my testimony, the
stronger it gets. It's so incredible.
I love you all and
hope you have a great week! (:
