Hello family!!!
26 December 2012
Yesterday was really fun and I’m glad that I got the
chance to talk to all of you guys!!!
Like I told you yesterday Victor, got baptized on Friday!!! To be
honest, it was a really stressful getting the baptism organized. Ha!
Last Friday my comp left for the mission home to have his
final meeting with the mission President. So I was with two other elders as
companions. They are part of the Office Staff
and weren’t familiar with my area and how to get things ready for the baptism,
so I got to get everything organized and planned for the baptism without
my comps assistance.
Elder Feliz got the chance to come back after his exit
interview and be at the baptism. It was really special for us because it was
his last day and we had worked together for this occasion. It was a very spiritual baptism. Elder Feliz, a member, and I sang Silent Night
as a special number. It turned out
really nice!!! Victor’s story is really
awesome. We met him exactly three weeks
ago today. He was a person that was prepared by the Lord and I’m very thankful
that we got the chance to be part of his conversion.
Saturday our Ward went to the temple down in Sato Domingo.
We had two families in the Ward get sealed
for time and all eternity!!! One was our
mission leader’s family and the other was the Young Men’s President’s family. It’s
awesome for us because we helped the mission leader to come back to church when
I first got here and to get his calling (he is the one to my left in the
picture).
For now I am comps with Elder Castillo. But we will only serve together until Saturday and then I will get my new companion!
Just to let all of
you know; I’m very grateful for you and I’m really glad that yall helped me to
come on my mission even though I was the best person before. I know that my experiences that I have been
through here will be memories that I will never forget and I owe that all to
you!!
I hope that you have a happy new year!!!!
LOVE YA
