Well just so you know they change our Pday to today because we went to the temple today. So that is why I didn't write on Monday. How is everyone doing? Sounds like you all had a good week. We had a great week! Seriously I don't think I have ever seen so many miracles in all of my mission.
We have been teaching these kids who are grandkids of some members. They were a refrence from the Bishop. The first time we went the bishop asked them Hey do you want to get baptized on sunday. Obviously we still had to teach them so they couldn't but they are so great. So we have been teaching them for a while. We thought that maybe they could get baptized next month. But then we prayed about it and both felt really strongly that the 2 boys were ready to get baptized now. So we talked to them and the grandparents and went with the ward mission leader to their house. They told us that they were ready to be baptized. And also their sister told us she wanted to get baptized. We were in shock. So we talked a little about baptism and how it is a covenent and how it takes away our sins. And they all said yes I want to get baptized this Sunday. So we called the district leader and the next day they had interviews. Then that Sunday in the morning they were all baptized and confirmed. It was so great to see their Grandparents, who have been members almost all their lives, watch their Grand children get baptized. We know that those kids are going to go on missions and bless other people for generations.
We have been praying really hard that this month we can have 10 baptisms. That we can find 10 people who are really prepared to be baptized. So this week we went with a member who gave us some old papers from the missionaries that had a bunch of numbers and addresses on them. So we decided that we should call them. We called one family and the Dad told us that we could come visit him whenever we wanted. So we decided to go the next day. We went and they told us that they went to church for 8 months but never got baptized. They told us they really like the church and they know A TON of members. So we put a fecha with them and we are going to help them get married this month so they can be baptized. It is a family of 3. Really it just taught me though that the Lord has his time. Maybe they weren't ready before but they are ready. The first lesson we felt very strongly to talk about temples. We talked about how they can have an eternal families. The hermana was crying and you could just feel the spirit so strongly! We know that the Lord is preparing people here in Costa Rica!
Also this week we went with another family of 4 and we hadn't been able to visit them in a while. They are members of another church but we gave them a book of morman las time and they told us they were really interested in reading it. Then we asked them if we could watch the video that the church has out for Easter. Called "Because of Him". I am sure you have seen it. If not go watch it! So we started watching it and she said he someone shared this on our church group message. This is from your church? It was pretty cool to know that other people are really watching the things from the church. After we could bear testimony that really that is the center of our message. That he is the center of our message. That really this is the only true church that Jesus Christ organized and he is at the head of the church. It was a really spiritual experience and we invited them to come to confrence this weekend. (:
We are So excited for confrence! To have the chance to Listen to the Profeta and Apostles of God. How lucky are we! I hope everyone will watch it and invite someone to watch it with them! And try to think about how we can really apply the messages that they are giving because they are really from our father in heaven!
Well family I hope you all have a great week I love you all so much! I am so grateful for the family I have and for the blessings that we have thanks to the Gospel in our lives! I know that we will have an eternal family as long as we try our best and always keep our temple covenants. You guys are the best (:
Love you
