Hello everyone!!
How are you all doing? This week was awesome! Lots of prayer this week as we were preparing for Lesly to be baptized and she did it!! Took that important step in her life to make sacred promises with God to follow the Savior always. The baptism itself was a little funny because the water was too hot for her (whoops, an accident) and, thank goodness there was some left over, but we went and grabbed some ice to toss in the font and Hno Garcia just dumped it in so she could feel more comfortable. But it was an awesome service and she has had lots of good fellowship and made many friends. Her daughter, Lohany is a member in the YSA and was baptized 2 years ago. She has seen the change in her life that the Church and the Savior have made on her and really wanted that for herself. She even was fasting to stop drinking coffee and to leave it behind forever before we even taught her the Word of Wisdom and about fasting.
She is a perfect example of those who are being prepared by the hand of the Lord to guide them through the last 10 feet down in to the Waters of baptism. Our study this week has been on Mosiah 18 when Alma was baptizing all those that wanteed to make that special promise with God.
Transfers happened, though I stayed again with my comp Spencer. But lots of changes in our district. We got some new sisters and a new leader too, who was born into my district in Donna so were good friends and this is going to be a really fun transfer! The mission is the best! I cant believe this is my 8th one, or I will have hit a year in July and YTD in 2 weeks. The time we have in serving the Lord is really short. As well, our life here on earth is really short in comparison. What are you doing to make the most of it for your growth and personal learning? Do not procrastinate the day of your repentance to begin receiving the full joy of the Lord.
I love you all and hope you have a great great week.
Love from Elder Newman
