This week was really good! Roberto and Yordan both were
baptized and confirmed. They both are going to be great strengths to the
people in this branch. We think Roberto is going to be a bishop
someday. I hope so. He studies so well and always has good questions,
which make me realize how much I need to study and learn too.
At the end of the Sunday School class, Roberto bore his testimony
to everybody. He told us that before he ever accepted to be baptized, he
had been putting off praying sincerely. But one Sunday at the end of
Sunday School, Fernanda, the teacher who is 21 and waiting for her
mission call, randomly told him to pray. He said that had been on his
mind all morning and hearing her encourage him helped him decide to do
it. Then he told us at his baptism a couple days ago, Fernanda gave him
a Liahona as a gift. The first article he turned to answered a question
he had had directly. He said that things like this that have been
happening for the two months that he has been investigating make him
sure that this really is the true church. Fernanda told us later how
before leaving her house that night she had had an impression to give
him that Liahona. Roberto and Yordan are both so great!
So
now La Mami, the grandma of Alice (who was the first to get baptized in
all her family), now has 12 people in her family that have come into
the church and all in the past 4 or 5 months! La Mami is such a strong
leader of her family! In fact this morning we went to the beach with her family.
That is crazy to hear about Travis! I´m glad he is okay. But a new car will be nice. :D
Send me pictures, Steph!
Thank you so much for the package! I think that is perfect. Thank you! Well, have a great week!
Love,
Elder Keele
