Wow so this week has been super crazy. Im sorry i probably dont have a bunch of time to write. but i wanted to write a few things.
So this week hermana paquita got baptized!!! we were super excited and it was super awesome. I have never felt so confidente baptizing anyone before. she was so ready! It was hard getting everything planned because our ward missionary leader disappeared and we had to help out in all the baptisms of the zone and in other zones as well running baptismal clothes around etc.
But the baptism turned out really well... all the family came and watched and many of them made the decision to be baptized as well. we will be having a baptismal service the 8th for everyone else who is ready :D we are super excited for the perez family! ive said it before but i will say it again i really fell like we have received a lot of help from the other side of the veil as well i fell like everything is moving along better than we had thought. Im sure they have (i know they have) someone needing help on the other side of the veil.
It hasnt been easy though. There is a lot of opposition too. We are not quite sure where the source of it is yet, but its holding some of the members back from making the small necesary decisions. For example we were teaching Juan the oldest son last week and we had a really good spiritual lesson one night, and we felt so good about everything, but the next day he showed up to his brother´s house as we were teaching him and joined us for the lesson and then began throwing a lot of doubt and random pointless questions in in such a way it caused a lot of doubt in both of them and they are failing in coming to church. its hard to get the WHOLE family to progress at the same time, but the lord knows when they will be baptized. I guess we just have to be patient. (Elder Uchtdorf gave a really good talk on that a few years ago in a gerneral conference)
sorry so short, love you all,
Always turn outward and keep smiling!!
