Well, Hna. Flor was baptized! The baptism was super hectic, but it
all turned out well in the end. The members really supported her and
gave her a great welcome into the ward. I felt a happy security that
she'll be able to endure to the end. She'll always want to be a part of
the ward and the ward will take care of her as well. It was great to see
that.
The only problem is that she wasn't confirmed. We'll get right on that....
Other
than that, Hna. Korin is preparing for a baptism this week and she's
really excited. She's read a good part of the Book of Mormon and has
prayed about it several times. She's told us that she knows it comes
from God and feels welcome in the ward as well. I'm super happy with
what they're doing to help the new converts and investigators. We really
owe a lot to them.
My companion and I are still getting along great and
working hard to help people come unto Christ. We're keeping diligent
and always becoming better missionaries and people. We're not going to
slack off on the Lord's errand. Anything that we're not doing well,
we're changing.
And I got some wonderful news! The Elders in
Huanchaco (my first area, well, only other area....) were able to
baptize another family that I worked really hard with! We spent so much
time teaching Paul, Rina and her family. They never quite made it to
baptism when I was there, but they finally made it with the support of
the ward! So Hna. Blanca, Hna. Judith, and Paul and his family were able
to make covenants. It's great to hear that those people that I was
teaching continued and made the choice to follow Christ.
Oh, and thanks so much for the package!! I'm SO
excited to eat all the candy and I'll wait to open the present on my
birthday. But I'm super greatful. I got super excited to see that huge
package when they handed it to me.
I hope everyone is doing great! Sorry that nothing
too interesting happend this week. More work than anything. We saw some
great miracles with the help of the members.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, EVERYONE!!
Elder Seth Prestwich
