Baptizing Nationzz 😎

Buen dia gente! This week was a good one. 

Baptisms!

First and most importantly our friend Eduardo is getting baptized next week so I'm going to need a lot of prayers that everything goes well!! He is so ready and so excited! 

When we were doing the baptismal interview questions with him his testimony was so powerful! It's crazy how fast he changed from telling us that the Bible says the Book of Mormon can't be true, to testifying thay Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and he restored the true church! 

This week when we talked about baptism with him he was so scared and hesitant because he said his family wouldn't support him, and he didn't want to hurt his wife and kids by doing this without them, but then as we talked more about it he said that God was calling him and he couldn't say no. 

So on Friday he will be getting baptized!! 

Also our friend Mía said she's ready to be baptized on May 30th! She's going to ask her parents permission and we're going to fast all together because she really wants her parents support in this! But she said she's so sure that May 30th is the day because as she prayed about what day to choose she received the answer May 30th!! 

Pray for Mia!

So prayers for her too because she is so determined to be baptized!! 

One of our friends Leandro also accepted a baptismal date! He's still very hesitant because he doesn't know very much about God or churches, but he wants to follow the example of Jesus and be baptized so we're helping him prepare to be baptized in June! 

Conference

We had our zone conference this week! It was fun to see everyone and receive so much inspiration from our Mission President! Also we received the flu shot so this conference was a bit of a downer, but we survived. 

Pensamiento Espíritual! 

I'd like to share a little scripture I was reading this week in 2 Nephi 33, which says, 

"7 I have charity for my people, and great faith in Christ that I shall meet many souls spotless at his judgment-seat" 

I love this scripture because at times there are moments where one feels that it's not worth it everything that we do. That some days no one answers the door or no one ever progresses. But I love this scripture because for me it shows Nephi's experience with this. 

In a lot of his writings Nephi laments the wickedness of his people, but here he says he has charity for them, and he knows many of them will be saved thanks to the things he has taught and written. In our lives there are so many people who come to know Christ through our words and actions. 

If we are doing our best to be charitable, loving, and a little more like Christ every day, our efforts will always make the difference!
