Senillosa

Feb 10

First of all,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE!!! Sorry I'm a bit late... I love you to the moon and back! Hope you had a great day!
 

Also, Welcome home addison! (Someone should tell him for me cause I'm sure he's not wasting time reading the blog) You look the same, but old, that's weird. Emmie and Peter look the same but old as well haha

 So we had a great week in Senillosa:) Our investigator 78 year old investigator Luis Guerra Got baptised! It really has been incredible to see how the Lord works miracles. He went from saying that he couldn't accept the gosple if it said that he shouldn't drink wine, to telling us straight up that he was never drinking wine again. It was super special to see someone of his age change so much in not only accepting the gosple, but seeing how the gosple changed him.

We met a new investigator this week as well named Ezequiel, he's 20 and it's like he already knows that this is what he's been looking for his whole life. He really has an incredible story he told us how much he's been looking for God in his life and all the churches he's gone to, only to end up leaving them because they never seemed to fall right with him. He came to church this week and wants to know everything now to prepare for baptism. Our other investigator recieved incredible answers to his prayers through the Book of Mormon and the Bible. It is so amazing to see all the miracles that are happening. In all of the mission there are dramatic changes and miracles.

So something funny- there's a tiny part of our area just outside of senillosa that's called ¨China Muerta¨ which litterally means dead chinese... Know how it got it's name?? A china man died there years and years ago... They're very creative here.

I'm attaching a pìcture of luis's baptism and a photo of my tiny district of senillosa.

 

 

oh and this is me cleaning the baptismal font the day of luis's baptism. Zoom in on my feet and see if you can see the great tan line i've got going on.

love you all sovery much!! Look for the miracles that are happening around you, cause there are so many every day.

Also something I read recently that I loved was ether 1. The whole chapter, but especially verse 47 (if i remember right). We should be willing to go wehre the lord wants us to go, cause it's there that we will recieve the blessings if we listen and obey. Also... it takes patcience and time and effort of our part, but we always recieve what we need from the lord and the answers always come.

LOVE YOU!
