We helped Brian and Sol to be baptized. It was a huge blessing for us and awesome to see the change in their lives. Brian is 18 and we contacted him a while ago in the park. He was lost and talked to us a lot about the devil. We helped him to grow his faith and now he had a lot of friends at church and his mom is preparing to be baptized.
Sol is 9. We found her brother in the street. She was excited all week and her family is coming to church. We are going to help them that they can continue to go. We don't just baptize, but we help them to continue to grow, to become converted.
We are preparing this week to baptize the Vegapuente Family. They came to church and love it! They are feeling the Spirit and know that these things are true. They asked about the responsibilities that they will have after baptism. We talked to them about the commandments and taking Christ's name upon themselves. We are excited for them. We have a lot of futures, or people that still need some progression, but we know this week will be great.
Cambios this week .... Elder Burk will be leaving. He will be going to Junin. It's the farthest area in our mission. He has been assigned as a traveling AP. He will be in charge of the campo. Presidente wants to make the campo area a stake before the October General Conference. So he put a lot more missionaries there so that they can reactivate and teach people who can have the priesthood in there home. I will be staying here in Rodriguez and will be receiving Elder Rivera as my new companion. He is from Mexico. This is his last transfer in the mission. He is really mellow and works hard, so I'm excited. Please pray that we will work well together and that we can have an awesome transfer where the Lord can use us!
What else happened?
Well, we did service for the Guzman Family right after the baptism, and Brian came to help us! We moved dirt into a home they are building to level out the ground. They are excited to go to the temple and get sealed in a year. On Sunday, Santos received the Aaronic Priesthood. I really want to come back when they are sealed in the temple! We will see!
It was a good week. Sad to see Elder Burk leaving but I know that he will do some big things where he is going!
We are preparing a family to be baptized this week, The Vegapuente Family. There are four in the family, Enrique, Jessica, Naomi, and Philipe.
I read this scripture block this morning: Doctrine And Covenants 6:36-37
Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not.
Behold the wounds which pierced my side, and also the prints of the nails in my hands and feet; be faithful, keep my commandments, and ye shall inherit the kingdom of heaven. Amen.
I know that it is through Christ that we will have hope. He will guide and give us the light that we need. Look to Him in everything and follow His counsels.
Thanks for everything!
