Hey fam and friends,
I had a super good week this week. On Tuesday we had all of the
missionaries in the Baja California Sur get together for a Multizone Missionary
Conference. We got up bright and early at 4:15 in the morning to head up to La
Paz. President Velez and his wife came, and we were all together for the day
and it was awesome! They talked all about the importance of our calling as
missionaries, and how many blessings God has waiting for us. They really helped
us focus on appreciating the time we have as missionaries, to really recognize
all of the blessings God has given us as His servants. It was so awesome, but
also a little sad because President and his wife are already almost done with
their service as our “Mission Parents”, they finish in June L . This might be the last
time I see them, at least for a while. It was super sad; even though I have
only known them for six months, it was amazing to see how much they loved me,
and how much I grew to love them. They really motivated me to be a better and
more consecrated missionary.
Friday was Elder Wright´s birthday! It was super awesome, not just
because we got a ton of food and cake, but also because we had some really
great spiritual experiences! First about the food. We got enchiladas for lunch,
which were heavenly. Then a couple hours later we had Chinese food, and to
finish off the day, we had some cake another member made us! Haha. We also had
some great experiences spiritually. We had an awesome lesson with the daughter and granddaughter of a member. We have been teaching them for
a few weeks, and little by little we have seen their desire to be baptized
grow. I testified to them as I do to you, about the truthfulness of the Book of
Mormon. I know it is the word of God. I know Joseph Smith was called to
translate this sacred record as proof of the Restoration of the Gospel. I feel
so wonderful and blessed to know God has spoken to His children once again.
They were able to feel the Spirit in the lesson and both
accepted a baptismal date of May 14. I am so excited for them! They are so
awesome. It was great too, cause the daughter said, “it doesn’t matter if she (the granddaughter) can’t come, I’m getting baptized on the 14th with or without her!”
I had an awesome week, and I am looking forward to another great
week this week! I love you all so much!
