Hey family!
Thanks for those inspiring words dad, I loved reading that. I
love hearing the stories of rescue, they help put in perspective that
the Lord puts us in certain places at certain times for certain reasons.
We were able to bring a less-active family to church yesterday. They
just moved to East LA from New Mexico, and felt inspired to go down to
the church and get their records moved over and start coming back to
church. The father is covered in tattoos, but it's awesome to see whats
on the inside of him. He wants to raise his family right and keep his
kids out of the gang life they were bound to be in if they didn't go to
church.
We were able to have a baptize yesterday for Gloria, my first
english baptism! It was an amazing baptismal service, she has studied
and prepared for a long time. She was found by some Armenian speaking
missionaries knocking around in Glendale last October, and has been
learning off and on ever since. 2 of her children will be baptized in
September, as well as some other people we have lined up. I feel now
more than ever the desire to baptize. These last 2 weeks I've felt so
enlightened. We've learned so much about how to become better
missionaries. Is it weird that I only now feel like I know how to be a
missionary? I think the Lord does it that way on purpose. He's the
master teacher, after all.
Well I love you all, we have to go work on transfers with
President now. It'll be a good day! We're taking one of our
investigators to Presidents house for a family home evening tonight, I'm
super excited for that. Have a good week!
