This week was great! Brother Martinez and Illary were both baptized and confirmed this week! Brother Martinez was nervous going into the baptismal service but after being baptized said that he felt calm and happy. Illary was so happy to be baptized! She's 9 and loves the church so much.
We had a miracle on Sunday! We went to church on Sunday and met a young woman named Judith. She had come to the church with her cousins for the first time. We asked her why she came and she replied that she wants a change in her life. We had a nice conversation about the Book of Mormon and how it helps us find truth in our lives. She gladly accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon, agreed to read it and accepted the challenge to be baptized in three weeks! We're excited to start teaching her tomorrow.
There are other investigators that are progressing but I'll write more about them later.
So soup: we didn't have lunch so we chopped up the two things we had in the fridge (carrots and potatos), cooked some rice, and threw it all together. We also threw in a cube of seasoning called "caldo" that I latter realized was chicken bouillon.
Ammon and Kaitlin, hm. I can see that working. Tell them they have to wait longer than the Hopkins so that I can go to the wedding, haha.
We go to the temple our last week in the mission field (a week that is getting closer at an alarming rate!!!! Gotta work while there's time!!!!) When I get back, I think I'll go to temple sessions in both languages. As of now, I've been to more sessions in Spanish than in English.
We're using the "Ilumina El Mundo" videos in our lessons. It's a good way to get into doors. No, fortunately, there are no strange insects or animals. The craziest it gets is a few lizards on the walls.
Okay, yes. I like your idea for Sadie's Christmas gift. I'll write my part next week.
Have a great week! Love,
Elder Smith
