Hey mom..... so it's kind of sad you’re not on today (to email chat), but it's okay next week like you said. It was great to read your post and so glad that Carolyn had a successful, nice wedding, you have a complete RS, Kyle has those substitute parts. I will try to mail you the receipt today and the photos, and thank you for the money……….
Not too much has happened.... we had a sister come visit us who is companion’s with Hermana Curl and she is doing a little bit of training for all the sisters in the Western side of PR. We spent a day and a half with her. Her name is Hermana Mijangos and she is the one that served in St. Thomas and knew Bonnie and Adam. She is from Guatemala and her English is perfect.... at first it was hard adjusting our lessons with three people, but at the end we got the hang of it. She's a cutie and it was good getting to know her better. She leaves this transfer.
I received a letter from Jenny Hubble and she is so sweet always sending me letters. Tell her thank you from me. It was interesting in her letter because she explained about how you talked to the sisters about menos activos and how she wants to help them out. How cool eh... and not just that but her husband wrote a letter too and he served in Adjuntas as well. It's funny because he has mentioned a name of a member when he served and we have been visiting them a little bit. Sad thing is they are menos activos. Small world.
We have 4 baptismal dates..... I hope I can at least see one of them because I have not had one baptism of my own yet... so I'm hoping for Jose I can. He has accepted a baptismal invitation for April 9 right before our transfers. He is working hard and is doing well. Pray for him and that he will continue to have the desire to be baptized. Nestor we still work with him, but unfortunately he is not improving... it’s been very painful for us to see this. We did interview questions with him and apparently he is still breaking the law of chastity as well as smoking. Oh Nestor. ... The others are 2 boys whose dad is a recent convert and the Quorum President. The boys had gone to church with their dad when they visited him. Recently the mom of the boys moved to the US and the boys are living with their dad... meaning we can baptize them. They are cute. One is 14, Rodrigo, and the other is 10, Rodorick. They accepted our baptismal date of April 30th so unfortunately we won't be there for their baptism. Also our 20 year old (Edgardo) investigator, we haven't really had much time to work with him, but he goes to church and reads the BOM is getting baptized on April 30 as well same branch in Utuado. Pray that these people will keep their commitment to baptism and realize the importance of baptism. It's so interesting because baptism isn't just a covenant, not just a thing we do to become a member of the church, but it's those that really want to live in a higher, better place, the celestial Kingdom with our Heavenly Father. This is why baptism is important and special.
Oh man I had something else to tell you but I honestly can’t remember what it was......I received a blessing from my stake President yesterday because things were bad. The blessing was in Spanish and English and I understood it. It’s sad because I could understand the blessing, but remembering it is hard. I know that what he said contained things I needed to hear and I had a confirmation that my Heavenly Father truly knows me and listens to me. It was interesting because in the blessing he had mentioned 3-4 times that my Heavenly Father loves me. Wow I think my Heavenly Father wants me to know that He loves me, and I know that.... i just need to remember it. It was a beautiful blessing and I am so, so grateful for it.
Mom I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true... I really do, especially every single time I read the Book of Mormon I think wow this has it all. How blessed we are to have the Book of Mormon. It's hard to comprehend our lives without it, but look at how many don't even know it exists. This is the gospel and church of our Savior, Redeemer Jesus Christ. He wants us to be ready when He comes so that He can say "It's time to come back home with our Heavenly Father"... and that is what I am trying to do.... prepare myself and others to be ready for Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ is my brother and He lives. He gave me the best thing I could ever want or ask for. He gave His life which He didn't have to, so that I could be happy, free, and back to my loving Heavenly Father. I know that my Heavenly Father lives and He wants what is the very best for us. That's why we are here. We are His children, every single one of us is a divine, genuine child of God. I am so grateful I have the chance to live with you and Kyle for the eternities and also with my future family. Thank you for always being there by my side, teaching me, and loving me in every way possible. You are a true angel from my Heavenly Father given to me. You are everything to me and I am so happy you’re my mom. I love you so, so, so much and want you to be happy as well!!!!! I want you to know this is my testimony in the name of my beloved brother and Savior Jesus Christ AMEN!!!
Yo se que el evangelio de Jesucristo is verdadero... Realment creo eso.... especialment cada vez leo el libro de mormon pienso wow este contiene todo. Que bendicion para nosotros a tener el libro de mormon. Es dificil comprender que nuestras vidas sin el, pero mira como muchas demas quien no le tienen y no saben que lo existe. Este es el evangelio y la iglesia de nuestro salvador y rendentor Jesus Cristo . El nos quiere que estemos listos especialment cuando el venga aqui y diga " Es el tiempo a vuelve a su hogar con su Padre Celestial." ... y este es la cosa lo que you estoy tratando de hacer... me preparo y las demas a estar listos por Jesucristo. Se que Jesucristo es mi hermano y el vive. El me dio la cosa mejor podia querer o pregunto. El me dio su vida lo cual no necesito hacer, para que pudiese ser feliz, libertad, y regresar a mi amoroso Padre Celestial. Se que mi Padre Eterno vive y quire la mejor por todo. ....
LOL that's all the Spanish I'm writing. LOL it's probably totally wrong...
