This week was another week in the life! But with one more alma (soul) saved!
That's right, this week we had a Baptism! We've been working with Nataly and she made the important decision forward to be baptized and recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost! She's super excited to keep moving forward in the Gospel and learn as much as she can! Some parts of the city were hit hard by the floods that happened a couple months back and as a result, the hot water heater in the chapel, well, lets just say that the baptismal font wasn't exactly a jacuzi for the Baptism. Remarkably though, afterwards, she told us that she didn't even feel the water when she went into the font! Small and simple miracles!
We've been working with some investigators this week who live in what are called, las tomas. They're houses that have been constructed on the side of a hill and are pretty far out from the city. The way that the electricity is hooked up to these houses, they are really susceptible to damage from rain. In a place where it only rains once every three years, usually we're fine. Unfortunately we've been having a bit of a wet spot lately. I uploaded some fotos we took from the top of las tomas this week.
My companion goes home in 4 weeks now, and is getting trunkier and trunkier by the day. We're working hard to have success stories here!
Spiritual Thought:
1 John 4:18 : There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
I've probably shared this scripture before but it's one of my favorites. If we really understand the love that our Savior has for us, we won't have any fear in the world and we can have the faith to accomplish miracles!
Love you all!
