This week was pretty great. We had two more baptisms this Saturday for two young boys named Nefi and Alexander, both from different families. Alexander is from a family who was baptized by my companion a month before I came into the field and now their whole family is baptized except for their little girl who is 6 years old. They are preparing to go to the temple next year. It's so awesome to be able to testify to other people of the special blessing of being sealed as a family for all time and eternity. And to be able to testify about my experience when I was sealed to my awesome family 10 years ago.
After Alexander was baptized, his father came up to my companion and said, (in Spanish) "Thank you, I'm so happy" and just these simple words brought so much joy to me because from this short sentence, I could feel the sincerity of his father. They are an awesome family who love the Book of Mormon and are constantly strengthening their testimonies.
I'm so thankful for the opportunity that I have to be here and to teach about families and to help all of these people receive the blessins of making covenants.
My District Leader shared a scripture with me last night that is in D&C 103:36 that reads: "All victory and glory is brought to pass unto you through your diligence, faithfulness, and prayers of faith." I promise with all my heart that this is true. I have felt it in this great work and it can apply to every one of you. I love you all and I hope you all have a fantastic week, talk to you soon!
