What a great week it has been here in good ol Paradise!! It was such a good week and I was like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting for Saturday and Sunday so I could listen to Conference!! And like one of the Preach My Gospel videos says, "I'll put my money on the Prophet!" Ha ha!! I went to Conference with quite a few questions on my mind - questions of the gospel, of life, and just about everything. And going out of Conference EVERY single one of my questions were answered!! My goodness. Revelation is so important, just like the prophet taught us in April!!
Anyways, we're continuing to work her in Puerto Escondido and the work has paid off!! After quite some time without a baptism, we have seen the fruits of our labor and have a baptismal date on Saturday. Goodness we sure are excited that this good brother, Sergio, has got his life in order and has a desire to be baptized! He is such an awesome man and I'm so happy for him. I can't wait for Saturday to roll around!!
I don't have a whole lot to say this week, but as the women were challenged to read the Book of Mormon, I have also started up on the challenge. As a missionary I haven't completed the Book of Mormon yet because I have been studying it by topic to help our investigators. But I know the importance and power that it contains and just this first few days of reading, I have felt the spirit so strong. I have felt protected spiritually and physically as President Nelson promised us three conferences ago!! The changes (transfers) are coming up here next week, so who knows where I will be going, but I'm pretty sure I will be leaving Puerto Escondido. It will be awesome to leave the area seeing Brother Sergio step into the waters of baptism!
I know that this church is true. My testimony has grown so much here in the mission and I know it will continue to grow!! I know that President Nelson is the Prophet of God! I love you all so much and I know as the leaders of the church told us, that as we stand firm, we will have so much hope!! I have felt this ESPERANZA (hope) so much here in the mission!! I love you all so much. Have an amazing week.
