Dearest family.
I sure do love you all so much. I know I start all my emails off like that but it is because it´s true. And every day I feel more and more love for you guys.
Don´t you worry. This past week has been a dream. The best week in my mission by far. We taught 41 lessons this past week. Which is a lot. The assistants called to congratulate us on our week and asked, "How did you guys teach that many lessons?" FAITH baby! It was so awesome. We also have 4 baptisms on Saturday night! Sonia, Maria Luisa, Larissa, and Igor.
That was so awesome. It was funny. Saturday morning we went to the chapel and filled up the font, and then left and then came back to a.... flooded chapel. haha whoops! We went to the store next door and they loaned us their squeegies. hahaha I felt like I was off on Titanic trying to get all the water out. It was super funny. Luckily the chapel flooring is tile. haha.
That afternoon we went by Sonia´s mom´s house, Maria to invite her to the baptism. She said no that her daughter wasn´t ready to get baptized. Sonia is 41. We told her about the interview that she passed and about how it was her responsibility as Sonia´s mom to go. We told her about how she would one day regret that she didn't go and would feel this regret for the rest of eternity. That night we were in the chapel waiting... and Maria came to watch Sonia and Maria Luisa´s baptism. It was super awesome. I was so happy that she came! but the water heater wasn´t working so we had to baptise them in cold water.... that was super hard. I baptized Sonia and Larissa. I couldn´t feel my legs afterward from baptizing in the cold water. I think I pulled a muscle. The muscles in the small of my back have been hurting (don´t worry mom... it stopped hurting).
Then that next day Mauricio finally came to church as well, we confirmed 5 people at church! It took like 15-20 minutes! It was awesome! The bishop was super happy! and I was too! It was great. I taught Sonia about the temple on Sunday and she was like I want to go now! haha it was super awesome. We´ve been teaching her with Maria, her mom. Yesterday we marked a date with her for next Sunday. I am super happy and super excited. We are getting a lot of work done.
This past week has been wonderful and filled with tons of personal revelation! Read Mosiah 5:7-14 which talks about taking upon the name of Christ and then read Moses 6:59-60. As I told dad Moses 6:59-60 is now my favorite scripture.
The Lord is blessing us a lot. I love you all so much and I love our Master, Jesus Christ. He lives! Never forget that! Give Nanie a big hug and kiss and Courtney too! I am praying for their recoveries!!!
Com Amor!
