Letter to All:
They got baptized!
Wooooh! My best birthday yet! haha!
The baptism was great,
the spirit was very strong in the baptism. Everything turned out all right!
We gave Gustavo and Wilmer time to give their testimonies after the
baptism. Wilmer´s testimony was powerful, he is such a great example for
me. Friday a bunch of Catholics came to visit him and a ton of friends
were sending him messages telling him he was crazy, he grandma didn`t want him
to leave the house. He has had some great trials of faith. But he
was willing to take his cross and follow Christ. The trials will continue
but I know he´ll be strong.
Wilmer and Gustavo also
got the priesthood on Sunday. And this coming
Sunday Wilmer will be blessing the sacrament and Gustavo will be preparing it!
Almost all of the young men that are active here are converts, It´s
pretty cool to see the faith of these kids.
I had a good birthday,
we ate cheese cake, we took funny pictures, they tried to break an egg on my
head but I caught them haha! On my companion’s birthday we broke and egg
on his head, Elder Mann turned 21 on the 18th. And now on the 4th of
April, Elder Agustin will turn 19! We all have are birthdays together.
Karla is progressing,
she´s reading the Book of Mormon more. We
read Alma 32 with her and we explained how she can grow her faith, but also if
she didn’t read or go to church she was going to neglect the growth of her
faith.
Pedro hasn´t smoked for
a couple days and he´s been to church 4 times now!
Marta is excited once
again to get baptized and she´s coming back to church, we just have to teach
her more and she´ll get baptized too.
So, we should have at
least 3 baptisms in April! Maybe 4...we want to start teaching Cristian
again to see if she´s ready to get baptized.
Things are going well,
we have a lot of work left ahead!
Take care everyone!
Elder Willden
One Awesome Party!!
