| Julio's Baptism! |
Hey everyone!
This week was absolutely incredible!
Julio
got baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday! He'll be getting the
priesthood this next week! (See week 34) He is so fantastic and he was
SO ready to be baptized! After his baptism, his wife (who is a member)
came to us and said we would always be part of their lives! That was so
great! We did the baptismal interview on Friday night at 8 because it's
SO hard to find another time with him, so our Zone Leader, Elder Mejia,
came and he was on divisions with the Assistants, so one of the
Assistants came too! It got really late, so they ended up staying with
us in our house because we have 4 mattresses! Sleepover! They are some
really great Elders, we are blessed with some incredible missionaries in
our mission!
So last week I was walking with
Elder Maluia who is also from Utah in Walmart and I was like are those
pop tarts and he was just like,"That's not funny, lets go check out!" BUT
THEY WERE! THEY GOT A SPECIAL IMPORT OF POP TARTS TO WALMART! We got so
stoked when we saw it was for real and bought a bunch haha! Also they
had Sour Skittles which we bought! WOW! It was like Christmas all over
again.
So after Julios baptism we went to drop
off all our stuff at the other missionaries house we used for the
baptism because our house was further and it was gonna rain an we had an appointment, but on the way home we bought Nacho Libre corn to
celebrate. It is so gross when you know what it is, it's just mayo and
chile but it's pretty good! I can't believe I just barely tried that for
the first time!

I got permission to go with
Elder Rodriguez to Bosques so he could say goodbye to the members and our
converts! Things are going really well there! Some other people I was
teaching got baptized there, that is always the most exciting news! The
things you actually get to see that happen in the mission are so little,
the results are 10, 20, 30 years from now when the 10 year old kid you
baptized is Stake President or someone goes on a mission! I love this
work because we can't even comprehend what we are doing. This work is
just SO much bigger than any of us think! I love meeting members that
have lots of time in the church that are converts and they have the
coolest conversion stories and the missionaries that taught them don't
even know how dedicated they are to the church and the effect they have
had on so many other people! I think that will be something so fun in
the next life when we get to see each other and see how the Lord worked
through every one of us to bring us all home safe and sound! I look
forward to that!

| Family from Bosques they taught. Kelson was given permission to go with Elder Rodriguez (1st companion) to visit people before he want home. |
My
companion is learning lots! He is a convert of 3 years and he is the
only member in his family, so I bet that has got to be so hard but here
he is! He will be a great a missionary (and already is!).
We
are getting all buckled up for the Temple Open House, we are gonna get
SOOO many references, and we are gonna be RUNNING from house to house, I
am so excited, I can't even tell you! The Cultural Celebration is going
to be broadcast so I will get to see it from our Stake Center I think,
I'm excited for that too!!
Well I love you all, I hope you are doing well!
