Hey everyone!!
Griselda and Naty were baptized! It was so awesome and special. We found her the 2nd day I had come to Laredo, about 2 and half months ago. She had very good feelings about the gospel and had really put the message in a test of her faith, as what Alma directs us to do, to see if this fruit is precious, sweet and desirable.
While having already approached the time of being able to be baptized any day, we took a leap of faith by going over to her house, reading out of Mosiah 18 to her, seeing how she was doing and we invited the Spirit really strong before asking her is she was ready. She said she was fully ready and it lit our hearts to help her make that happen. We put the plans together and held the Baptism 30 min later with as many of the branch that was able to come in the short notice but nevertheless, a happy night on the Lord's Day, being the Holy Sabbath day. It has been an awesome week of hard work, faith and doing all we can do on our part to ask for miracles from heaven.
As well, quick because time is running out, is that we also had our Noche Mexicana fiesta with the branch on friday night. A good night of Mexican culture and singing and eating lots of food. All around good times spent together in unity of faith and spirit of culture and family.
Take care everyone! If any of you would like to write, please do! I really want to hear from you. Be safe and be smart. Love you !
