Hey family and friends!
Well I would like to refresh your minds that last week we
were hoping on having a baptism and we didn't, but this week he was baptized!
His name is Manuel Morales! He is 26 years old and he is so dedicated to
keeping the commandments! He was our investigator that paid tithing 3 weeks
before he was baptized! It has been a pure blessing to be able to find him,
teach him and baptize him! He said that after he was baptized that night he
went to his house at like 9:30 or 10 (because the baptism was at 8) and he said
that he went to bed and never in his life had he slept more peacefully. He was
so happy that he was baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday!
Also, this week we saw so many blessings in our work this
week! We had the opportunity to find 17 new people to teach, we have 2 new
baptismal dates for the 26 of March and we also contacted 160 people in the
whole week! We have planned to have 3 baptisms on the 26th of March, but it is
almost for sure that we are going to have at least 1 and maybe 2 others!
This week we had 3 people in sacrament meeting and we are
seeing a lot of progress in the ward and in our area! It been great to be here
to really help this ward and to also help our investigators porgress to be
baptized!
So this week I have been studying in Lucas and I like one
verse that I read that the savior said, Lucas 4:18
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath
anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised"
We as missionaries, are his servants and everything we do we
are representing him as we teach and as we talk, we need to speak and teach in
the manner of Christ. We are really his hands in this work and as his hands I
will work in the best way that I can to be like him.
Also this week I was reading in proverbs 4:23-26
23 "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it
are the issues of life. 24 Put away from
thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look
straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be
established."
Our eyes need to be looking on what we desire in our lives
and according to our personal vision of what we would like to happen in our
lives. Our visions need to be set on the temple and if our eyes are set on the
temple we will do what we need to to accomplish that. Well, sorry I don't have
a lot of time but I want to do a shout out to my dad! because now he's
completing 30 years old!;) haha
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I love you and that you can
have a good birthday!
