well on saturday jennie rivera was baptized. it was the least stressful baptism because our ward mission leader is AMAZING. she is really happy and so are we. there is never a homesick missionary at the baptismal font.
well i want to relate a few of the tender mercies God has offered me this week. first of all our branch started on sunday. the spirit was strong and the members were so happy to have a branch in their own language. im excited to be back with my people too:) i really have grown to love the latin culture. i think i tell you this every email but it is true i love them. let me tell you have God answers prayers and knows His children perfectly. saturday night we talked to this man and it went so well. so we set up an appointment for sunday morning to teach him. we were SO excited!!!! well we went by sunday morning with one of the members of the singles ward we cover, john brooks. when we got there we asked for this man, well turns out to be a wrong address...we were bummed but a miracle happened sunday morning. there was a man there named jose eduarte and he happened to be a less-active member. we asked him if we could share a message with him and he agreed. the spirit was strong and you could tell jose knew these things were true still. this is a man who had served as a counselor in the bishopric and a stake seventy(an old calling they use to have). we invited him to the new branch and john said he would come by for him. well he did and it was fast and testimony meeting and jose got up and bore his testimony with us. he said that it had been awhile since he had prayed but that morning he had knelt in his bathroom and offered a prayer to the Lord. only a few hours later we showed up to his apartment.
Heavenly Father anwsers prayers and He loves His children. im so grateful that i got to be an instrument in answering jose's prayers. what a blessing! as if that wasn't enough last night we went to visit one of our less actives. there is a young man that lives with her and her sons and so we asked him to join us. well it didnt take him long to open up and start asking questions. he has genuine questions and really wants to know. his boss gave him a Book of Mormon and he read it once. his sister was just baptized and has been talking to him about the church. he just hadnt really sought it out yet...well we showed up to his apartment. there is no coinscendences...i know the Lord guides this work and we were lead by the spirit to go by for reina and we met gabriel. he's young...only 22 but he is searching and we have exactly what he needs...we are teaching him at 8 tonight and im so excited!!!
ive been talking to sister lopez a lot about how when we do what we are suppose to do and keep his commandments the Lord guides to the people He has prepared. we are learning to trust in that. i hope you know that God loves us that Jesus Christ lives and He will always help us. the gospel of Jesus Christ is here on the Earth today and the only place it is found in its plentitud is in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-days Saints.
have a great week and be safe. i love you all.
