Hey!
This week was great! Lots of different things happened. Jose Luis was baptized.
That was a huge blessing:) It went well and we had one of the people that we
have been teaching come to the baptism also. That was super cool. We got to go
on exchanges with the assistants back in McAllen and that was super fun. I got
to go work with my old companion Elder Johnson. We got to see some of the
people I helped teach and the Garza family fed us. They gave me a late
Christmas gift which was super nice. They gave me a tie and like a geode rock.
Then later that night we went to coordination and I got to see some familiar
faces like Osvaldo and some of my favorite people like Israel and Ricardo. This
week we met a few new cool people. Jaime was one of them. About a week ago we
talked to Jaime on the street. He told us to come back. We kinda lost contact
with him but then one day we came back to teach him and he was there so we
taught him the restoration. At the end he was just like "You know, I feel
like this is true." So we went by on Saturday to remind him about church
and he was like "I was actually just reading the book" and he had
read all of 3 Nephi and then like almost all of 1 Nephi. He then was like "
I was actually just reading about the great and abominable church.. I got
baptized into the Catholic church when I was little but would it be possible to
like... get baptized in THIS church?" so we set a baptismal date with him
for the 25th of this month. That was a miracle from God. At the end of the day
he is in control of everything.
"8 But
now, O Lord, thou art our father; we
are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. "
We
have also met some other cool people and we will see what happens!
Im so
thankful to be out here! Have a great week!
