¡FAMILIA!
It was a really good week. My companion and I continue to
work well with each other. I love that Spaniard. He makes me laugh so hard.
This week, while planning for Alisia´s baptism, she started
getting really nervous. She started telling us that she just wasn´t ready and
felt flooded with doubts. My companion and I talked and agreed that it would be
best to wait one more week so that she could get to know the ward better. The
members flooded her with fellowshipping and now she feels much better. She´s
looking forward to baptism with a sincere desire to join the fold of the Good
Shepherd. She´ll be baptized with Sofía, and Joel this next week. I´ll have to
save their stories for the next week.
I feel prompted to talk a little bit about Improving. Let´s
be honest, the Church has a LOT of meetings. I think sometimes we misunderstand
why, thinking that we just go to find out how many things that we aren´t doing,
and what we have to repent of. That´s not the point. The point is to remind us
of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. His Gospel was preached, and is being
preached, to perfect us, but we will NEVER reach perfection in this life. That
comes afterwards depending on how dedicated we are to being perfected. The
greatest part about the Atonement, isn´t just that He who preformed it was
perfect in everyway, but that it allows us with an infinite amount of
opportunities to become like He who preformed it. Remember that all other
organizations prepare us for the Telestial or Terrestial Kingdoms, but only
active membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints prepares
us for Exhaltation in the Celestial Kingdom.
I love you guys so much! Thanks for all that you´re doing to
live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that it is the only way to live truely
happy! ¡Hurra por Israel!

roof. (Although it may look like I´m sucking my thumb, I am in fact, on the
phone. :P)

can´t believe, and speaks English perfectly. Impressive.
