Baptism Carlos

Hey Fam,

Well these week we saw such a cool miracle in the area, it was a pretty awesome experience.

At the beginning of the month we prayed and felt really strong that we were going to have an investagator accept the gospel and get baptised. So we worked so hard to help all of them and to find more people to teach. On Monday we saw the all the people that we are teaching were going to need a little bit more time. But we just kept being diligent and on tuesday we recieved a call from a guy who just moved into our area and had listened to the missionaries 2 years ago. He was about to get baptised but he got called a way for work. So when we saw him on tuesday we realized that he really wanted to to join the church and he had a strong desire to be baptised. So we ended up preparing him for saturday and he was able to fill the desire of his heart and he accept the gospel and was baptised. He was so happy after his baptism, when he shared his testimony all he said was how grateful he was that the Lord gave him another chance to accept the gospel and how just felt such a strong desire in his heart to cry bacause he was so happy :)

Honestly I truly do love these type of expereinces in the mission, to see how the Lord always completes with His promises and all He wants from us is a strong desire to do His will and obedience. Also to see people who have had such hard lives accept the gosple and start over again. One thing that I cant deny is the love God has for His children, one way we can see that love is through His son Jesus Christ. One omy favorite scriptures is John 3:16-17, I love how it says that He came so no one would be lost. The Gospel of Jesus Christ truly does save people and it has been such an awesome expereince to be part of this process.

I really do love this gospel with all my heart, I have seen it change the lives of so many different people here in Mexico. I have also seen it change my life too, the mission has really taught me what kind of person I can become if I trust and the Lord and do His will.

I love you all so much, have a great week!

Love,

Hey Fam,

We had a pretty awesome week this past week. Today I got to spend part of the day with one of my favorite comps Elder Lugo to visit some of the people that we taught. It was awesome because one of the guys we taught and baptised just recieved Melchizedek Priesthood and he is getting ready to enter the temple. We were so pumped to hear the news!

On monday last week I was with a youth from the ward doing divisions and we were contacting. We decided to say a prayer and we prayed for someone who really needed to hear the gospel. After the prayer we felt prompted to knock a door and it turned out to be an less active women who is going through a lot of problems. We were able to teach her and on sunday her and her whole family who arent members of the church went to church, it was awesome. Also the other we made a contact in the street and it was another less active girl. We went and visited her and she wants to go back to church and her 10 year old brother really wants to get baptised.

Honestly those were some really amazing miracles that we saw this past week. We can honestly see the Lord working with us in the area. Something that I really love in the mission is making inspired contacts and finding new people to teach. Its such an amazing feeling having the spirit guide you all day, I love the scripture that says that the spirit will show us all thins that we must do. I am loving my time as a missionary and I cant believe I only have three in a half weeks left. Everyday is a blessing in the mission because everyday you have the chance to help someone :)

I love you all so much and I just want to share my testimony and say that I know that we truly are children of God and He is our loving Heavenly Father. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world and He truly gave His life for us. I know that the spirit will truly guide us in every step we take and that we are never alone. Also the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church on the world today :)

Faith

Hey Fam,

Yesterday I oficially started my last cycle in the mission. I am so pumped because I have one more cycle to serve the Lord. How much more blessed could I be, I am so pumped!

Today we went to the Temple and it was pretty awesome. We missed the session at 11 so we ended up doing sellings then we enter the next session. It was a pretty awesome experience, the temple is such a beautiful place. Its nice to know that today a group of families were able to be sealed for all enternity 😊

Things in the area have been kind of rough, lots of ups and downs. But we are loving the experience because we have been learnings so much. Today I was reading in the Bible and I read Hebrews 10 and 11 and it was great. I love learning about the faith because that is the way the Lord works in our lives. Sunday we were able to listen to a conference where some of the apostles spoke. It was really awesome hearing some of them speak and teach in spanish. Also the best part was hearing the strong testimonies of the gospel.

Honestly I really love the mission because everyday is a challenge. But what I really love is taking on everyone of these challenges with the help of the Lord, something I never could have learned on my own. The best part about the Lord is that He is always there to help. I know this chuch is true and I cant deny that Joseph Smith saw our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ and his fruit is The Book Of Mormon. I know what I am teaching because I have truly felt and recieved my answer from God. I love you all so much and I invite you all to take the invitation of James 1:5 and I promise that all things well be revealed.

Love,

Hey,

Well these past couple weeks have been pretty good.

On saturday we had a conference with a seventy, Elder Pino and it was pretty cool. We also got to learn from our mission president, he is so awesome. My comp and I have been working hard in the area, its been a fun challenge. Lately we have been visiting lots of the members who have been attending church. Its been really great because we have found so many new invs through the process and we have also been able to help so more members attend church again.

Honestly I have been learning a lot in my new area. Something that I really like doing is starting from scratch in a new area and thats what my comp and I had to do this past month. But the best part is that we have really trusted in the Lord in all that we have been doing and we have seen so many blessings. We have found some really awesome people to teach and we are hoping to start seeing them accept the gospel this month.

I know that was a quick email but everything is going great. I am loving my time in the mission and I truly do love the people I am serving! There is no better feeling than seeing the Gospel change someone's life. I hope you all have a great week :)

Love,
