Jose was able to be baptized on Saturday and it was amazing.
Around 60 people were there to support him...it was incredible. Of course the
branch hermana made a huge tostada dinner after for everyone and it was just
such a good turn out. The program went super smooth and Jose was just beaming
the whole time! It was so great. There is no other feeling as a missionary than
to see the person who you have grown to love take that first step out of the
water as a new person. Sure will miss these experiences.
Irma and Clarissa are doing okay. They haven't been reading
or coming to church so we had a lesson on faith and how faith and our beliefs
require action. They realized that they hadn't been showing their faith and
that they need to start reading the Book of Mormon on their own. They are going
through a divorce now of the dad so it has taken a huge toll on their family.
But our members are really worried about them and are so ready to help. Prayers
for them!!
We haven't really been able to see a lot of our
investigators this week because it has been crazy with helping members move and
the baptism, but hopefully we can see them all next week!
We went to Catholic Charities (service center) this week and
we were famous!! Haha. they did a "missionary manicures"
activity where we all painted nails for them. It was so fun!! Some old ladies
said I was a professional and one Hispanic lady told me I didn't know what I
was doing and that I wouldn't get paid if I did this for a job....hahaha. I
love people! Also they had a little party that day and Hna. Regalado was there
and she was dancing her head off!! It was hilarious. I sure do love that lady.
I have just been trying to take advantage of all of these
moments I am having with the people I love. Yesterday I talked in church and
bawled through the whole thing because I was looking at my Texas family that I
have grown so close to. I cried with Hna. Solis outside for a good while
because I can't go home!! I'm going to have such a hard time this week. So
prayers for me please!!
Sorry I didn't respond to everyone that emailed me today
because it has been crazy, but I will talk to you all next week for sure! Love
you all!!

was so happy to see her! she was so cute! she was like "I feel like I just
got baptized! I'm so happy!" she came with her husband who is praying to
know if he should get baptized!
