Alrighty so this one's going to be short, sorry mom! It looks like you're having an awesome time on your trip! I loved your pictures! I wish I could be there with you guys and translate haah. Even though my Spanish isn't super duper strong yet- it's enough. :) I can't believe you held a snake! How cool is that!? Wow. So jelly.
Okay, so this week. Well, we had a huge like - push for Antonio to be baptized as to avoid the "eterna-gator" status, but ... well. we planned this lesson, talked about commitments. Like how he was going to commit to Gabby because he loved her, that's why they're getting married. And that it wouldn't be perfect, but you are showing her you love her and that you're willing to try by marrying her. Then we're like "It's the same with God!" and talked about baptism and the covenant. And it was awesome and the Spirit was so strong. Then we testified, and then I was like "Antonio, will you follow the example of Jesus Christ by being baptized?" And seriously the Spirit was SO strong. And he said "Yes! I definitely will!.... I just need more time." Daaaaaaaaah! Dah. But you know- what can you do? He's in the Lord's hands.
Guess what!? We have a baptism on Saturday!! Alex, our little 12 year old best friend, is getting baptized and he is so excited! It's cool to see how fast he is learning and how much faith he has. I just love it. I'll be sure to send pictures.
Life is good! Hna Dorian misses me which is good cuz I always thought she hated me and couldn't wait til she could get a new companion. I was like "you're going to miss this! You're going to want this back!" Haha.
The gospel is true! What a miracle that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to a young boy that just wanted to know. I know that as we have real desires that the Lord answers us, in His own time and in His own way. I know that He loves us and has a plan for all of us. Sorry this was so short. The work is going great. I love you guys so much!!!
