Just another day in Paradise (Or in other words- CELAYA)

Dear Family,

First things first, on Sunday I gave my first talk in Spanish. I was pretty nervous all week what I should say to our ward, but in the end all turned out well. Along with speaking in Sacrament Meeting, we started a new program or activity with our ward. Its called Ayuno de 40 Días or Fast for 40 Days. With this program the members have signed up on our calendar a day to fast for our investigadors. We remind them before it´s there turn and in that day they can fast for whatever they want and also for our investigadors. We will see how things turn out these 40 days :)

With Victor, we have ran into a problem. He has MILLIONS of questions about deep doctrine and random things that make it really hard to focus on the basic principles that we would like to teach him. He has lossed a little bit of the excitment that he had the past week but we are working on helping him towards making a covenant with God. If he doesn´t accept a baptismal date we have to let him aside for a while so that he can begin to live and choose the things for himself.

On a more positive note, we found an old investigator named Karla and she really wants to be baptized. She only has one hour free in the entire day so we work really hard to visit her everyday at this time. Her gma who is practically her mom (oh btw she has 14 years) doesn´t want to get baptized but Karla si. She is a bright girl who I would say is member for the light she has and gets along so well with the members and the young women in our ward. We are going to help her prepare for a baptism for not this saturday but the next! We will see how it goes!

We also recieved a reference of elders in our zone of a family really special. Familia Cruz Bolaños lost their daughter two months ago and it has been really hard for their family. We began to teach them the Plan of Salvation and we can see very clearly how our message as missionaries brings hope and blessings to families of every circumstance. They are very intentive to listen and want the blessings of the gospel, blessings of hope and comfort in these their hard times.

I invite you to accompany the missionaries if you can because it is a beautiful experience that strengthens your testimony- to see the gospel beginning to work in the lives of these people is something that you can't describe with words. 

WELP have a wonderful week and PLEASE BE SAFE.

I love you to pieces but I don't want you in pieces, eh? :)

Read your scriptures.

Keep a study Journal.

LIVE and ENJOY the gospel and the testimony that each of you have.

You all are spiritual giants for me and even more so here in the mission. 

Les amamos mucho (yo y mi compa)!!
