| Sharon ready for her baptism |
So it's weird to
speak in English!! haha I really miss it! Being with a Latino comp I really
miss ENGLISH!! hahaha
But this week was
crazy! I don't have much time but i will share the story. We wanted to
baptize someone this weekend. So we focused and looked for someone that had
assitences in the church. We found a little girl named Sharon and her mom
and all her family are members. Except her. SO we told the ward in
ward council we told them to set up the baptism because we are going to baptize
someone! The counselor of the branch was excited for the faith, but the
president got mad! We sent the date and Sharon

We got everything set up. Sooo, the president called us
very mad!! it was just Satan not wanting the miracles to happen here. Then
the wife of the president of the branch went over the house of the sisters and
told them that no one was going to come to the baptism. They dropped in
the excitement and their animo. It sucked super bad. The sisters
told me no we will have to wait for the 4 of July. But I told them no.
My companion and I get the faith and we told them no. We kept them strong
and the president told us he would not come because he had other things to do
and we didn't advise him with enough time. The little girl asked that he
baptize her. So we spent all Friday fixing things and praying that he
would come. After fasting and praying the president didn't want the
baptism to happen. We called our mission president and he told us,"
No man can stop the work of the lord". Joseph Smith. haha it was so cool.
Then he told us, DO THE BAPTISM. So we went through with it. And that Saturday
in the tardy, the president humbled himself and he came to the baptism.
And actually more people came to that baptism than the regular attendance in
the church. It was the best!!!!!!!! There are some pictures! It was
great!! And now we have another investigator Lucas of 16 years old and he will
be baptized on the 4 of July!! Please pray for him so his mom will let
him. And he will be the first youth in the branch. The only young
kid above 12 yrs old and under 18!!! It will be sweet!!!
