So
this week has been way good, our baptism was great!! Except for the fact that
our ward mission leader said we was going to fix the font so it would stop
leaking and he fixed it but then started the water really late so we didn’t
have a lot. So we did buckets again and when the service started there wasn’t
a lot of water, and I was doing the baptism!! So it was a little difficult,
but I still got her down the first time :) and it was so great. The only
problem is that she showed up to church late so she will be confirmed the
next week, even though the Bishop should have done it at the end of the
meeting. It has been a while since I have physically baptized someone, since December
I think. And when I was in the water saying the prayer, I just could feel the
sprit so strong and I just love having the opportunity to baptize people. It
is such a great privilege and an honor to do that. So it was a very good experience
for me and a good reminder of how great it feels to baptize someone.
My
miracle that I loved this week occurred was with a 16 year old less active
boy that we have been working with a lot lately. His mom is super strong in
the church, but he is going through a time where he wants to find that this
church really is his thing because he was born into it. I remember going
through a similar thing once when I was his age so I can really relate to him
and that has helped a lot. We were talking with him about the relationship
that he has with his mom, because it is just the 2 of them. I think that
really helped him and he is trying to be a better son for her. And to top it
all off he came to church this past Sunday, and stayed all 3 meetings! I was
so excited and happy for him. I know that reactivating is a huge part of the
work as well. Reactivating someone strongly is like a baptism for me. Ha ha sorry
mom for how much of a pain I was when I was 16...
And
what is going on with these bombings? I heard from some members that Boston
and Texas got hit with some terrorist attacks or something. And the war with north
and south Korea?? Ha ha what is going on!! I would love to know.
But
other then that I just keep rolling on here in Spain. As a district we
are seeing a lot of success and we will have another baptism this week!! As
well as everyone else in our district. I really love the family and the
unity we have together and they are all doing so great!! And Mothers Day is approaching,
my companion just reminded me of that. And we all know what that means!! Ha ha
love you all have a great week!
Love,
Elder
