Dec 5, 2016 Baptism of Exequiel

Dec 5, 2016  Baptism of Exequiel

Hello all!

The packages arrived! Thank you so much! The pension was pretty excited when they found out there was stuff for them too. I will be opening the b-day ones this Saturday.

I’m doing good, haha of all the things that you think about that happen to us, you would think that you might feel a little down, but no, there’s something about the mission that doesn’t allow you to feel like that, (unless you are trying to feel sad).

I can say that I am happy! Being here has made me appreciate all of the things that i took for granted back home. Being a missionary is a grand title and with this service, with this work, we can feel the love of our heavenly father, and the love of Christ every day.

Most of the times it’s like a rollercoaster, but the opportunity, and the ability we have to rely on Christ is what matters. When we rely on them, the little things don’t matter, the things of the world become small, and we are able to live with a greater perspective which is the gospel. This gospel allows us to see the eternal things, and really this is what will make us happy. Yes, there are things that I miss things that aren’t the same, but I know that my time is short and that there’s so much more to this life than what we see.

This week was pretty good.

We had the baptism of Exequiel, and he did well! Next is his brother, but he needs to get married first. It should be soon! It was amazing to see how the ward helped us and were excited that he was baptized. We made sure that the water was warm.

We had some other investigadores too that were going to get baptized but we have to see if they have some little doubts, The people ask us about a lot of thing. Whether it’s a doubt or a rumor or I dont know but yeah, we have to be pretty prepared haha.

We are hoping that this couple will get baptized in this month too. They are a young married couple that just had a baby and they are listening to us right now. We have a lot of hope for them.  His name is Joseph and he’s actually from Switzerland, and her name is Sarah.

It’s been pretty killer hot here, but we have our hats and sunglasses so it works out, we just have to make sure we´re still wearing white shirts and not yellow ones if you know what I mean... haha

I really don’t feel like my birthday or Christmas is coming up. It feels weird because it’s all hot here and a different Christmas than what I’m used to.

Other than that we have been doing good, with Elder Damron, we get a long really well and we are trying to bring more people to Christ it always helps when you have the same goals with your companion.

People after the baptism,

Picture of Exequiel and me.  I had my glasses in this one.  I’m trying to get used to them and using them to let my eyes rest for a bit.
