I am so happy right now! I just recieved letters from some of my converts
in Arequipa and 3 of them went to the temple in Lima and participated in
baptisms for the dead. They sent me a bunch of pictures as well and i cant even
describe to you the joy that i feel for them right now. That is the goal. not to
just get them baptized, but to get them to the temple!!! and they did it!!! they
all have written me and have told me that they had amazing experiences and
absolutely loved being in the house of the lord and that they are doing
wonderful in attending church and preparing for missions.
It just made my day :)
As for me....i guess i am finally breathing okay now. this last week has
been a hecktic one again as they always are. the zone got changed up a little
bit with some of the elders finishing up and new ones coming in. but it is a
great bunch here in the grand city of moquegua and we are excited to get to
working really hard here this next change. we were able to go and attend one
companionships baptism this last week and their baptism asked that i confirm her
so that was really a neat opportunity to do that.
One of our investigators named doris just accepted to be baptized this 30
of agosto so we are preparing for that and we are trying to help out another one
of our investigators named diego get int eh water as well. just need to get
permission from the padres. so pray for us!!! we need that help!
