Dear Family & Friends,
This week was awesome! A lot of
things happened this week.
Our investigators are doing great
still. We are trying really hard to get them to be baptized. We have so many
cool people we are teaching and who are ready they just are being stubborn
about accepting a date and just doing it. Hopefully soon we can get them to
receive that confirmation from Heavenly Father that it is time to make this
step in their lives.
Earlier this week I did an ice cream
eating challenge against Elder Saia. We both put down a half a gallon. I
finished first though so that's all that matters ;) Vale la pena (Worth it).
We had a really good family home
evening with Zaira, Eloisa, and Flora on Thursday. We watched the movie the
testaments. It was funny Zairas son Ethan was just leaning back kicking his
feet up on the chair. It was so funny. They all really liked it. We tried
ending the lesson with our testimonies but Ethan started crying and it was
really distracting so we just kind of ended the lesson. We are going to see
them this week and try to get them back on date for June.
Angelica Baptism for Sisters |
I got to baptize one of the Sisters
investigators named Angelica. I gave her the baptismal interview and after she
told the sisters that she wanted me to baptize her. It was a really cool experience!
She was nervous that she was going to slip and fall and also that the mirror
above the font was going to fall down. Hah, we reassured her that it wouldn't.
After the baptism she was smiling from ear to ear! It was so cool. And her
family was really happy too! Hopefully they follow her example too.
We have been biking a lot and seeing
lots of miracles happen from it. I love being able to stop and talk to people
in the streets. We have had some pretty crazy things happen. The other day we
contacted a guy picking up his mail. His name was Jesus. He invited us into his
house and gave us some water. Then we got talking about the plan of salvation
and turns out he is a really cool guy and he invited us to come back next week.
We have a really good feeling about him and his family.
Anyway everything is going good here
in Sacramento.
Love you all!!!
