It
was a great week because Mayra was baptized! She is so awesome and prepared and
we had such a wonderful service. I’m so grateful I got to be a part of her
journey. I will put some pictures below. It was also a great Mother’s Day and
really fun to see family! Everyone is so old now so it will be weird to go
home, but it’s good to see that the same sibling jokes and teasing have not
changed at all.
Other than the baptism we didn’t have too much going on. Sonia
has made some wonderful progress too and we are excited for her baptism coming
up! I love this area so much, I love being a missionary so much. It’s such a
wonderful opportunity to see people changing their lives and learning truth.
I’m so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the impact it’s made in my
life. Because of the savior, I can change and I don’t need to keep making the
same mistakes. There will always be hope for me and each one of his children
because of the sacrifice he made.
I have been so blessed in my life to be
raised in such a good family when families all around me are falling apart and
I want to bring those same blessings to my children. I know the gospel blesses
families and I’m so grateful for all that the lord has given me. I have one
request for all of you and it’s a request that many of you have fulfilled
already but I invite you to fulfill it again. Please read the Book of Mormon.
Whether you have never read it or whether you have read it 200 times. I promise
you that it will increase your understanding of the Lords love for us and it
will help you find the happiness and peace that you might be lacking right now.
I know it is true and it will bless your life more than anything. I hope you
all have a great week!
