The day of Luis' baptism
This is from the day Luis was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
Dearest Family and Friends,
Last Monday was so crazy but so incredible!! Luis was
baptized! The Spanish Elders were able to come down and bring a family that
they've been teaching. Elder Guzman was the one to baptize Luis and it was so
special because they realized they're from the same place in Mexico! Veracruz!
The ward was so supportive and a lot of them came even though they didn't speak
the language and couldn't understand anything! All that attended, Spanish or
English speaking, could feel the Spirit so strongly. It was a really special
experience and Luis was just GLOWING afterwards! He was confirmed yesterday in
sacrament and it was beautiful. I just feel so lucky to have been a part of
this. You can truly see a change in Luis as he's made these important steps to
follow his Savior.
Hna Ihler got her visa!!!!! President called last night and
left a message for us to call him back and she was FREAKING out! She somehow
just knew that it was about her visa- when he told us she was leaving it was so
exciting but so sad! I'm so grateful that part of the Lord's plan for her was
to come and serve here and with me of all the crazy people! She will be missed
and I know that she will do so many amazing things in Argentina! She leaves
Wednesday so we've been trying to make the most of these last two days! Hna
Idso and I are planning some surprises for her tomorrow ;)
We watched the last scene of the Testament video
with some of our favorite members the Murdock family yesterday and
the Spirit was SO strong. I felt of the love that our Savior has for each and
every one of us. One of the reasons I love the Book of Mormon so much is
because it is a testament that Christ does not forget any of us. He did not
forget the people in the Americas and he does not forget us. I could barely
bear my testimony yesterday because I was so choked up. My understanding of the
Love that the Savior has for us has increased so much on my mission. If there's
anything I want to accomplish on my mission, it is to share with the people
here that I serve and all of you the love that our Savior has for us. I want
all to know the power of the Atonement and how we can apply it in every single
part of our lives. The power of the Atonement has the power to fix and fill in
every crack of our hearts.
I love you all so much and am so grateful to have you in my
life :)
