Hola
This week was honestly so awesome being the last week of the cycle. This week I saw so many blessings that have come after 4 and a half months of hard work. This week we had 2 baptisms here in Barrio Polanco! Honestly it was so exciting and awesome to see the blessings and los frutos that the Lord has prepared for this Barrio. This week I baptized Hna Patricia and Elder Santiago baptized Hna Veronice. Both of these Hnas May and I found and worked and worked with them to prepare them for this momento. Hna Patricia I have worked with her since January and after so many citas of her telling us that she doesn´t have a testimony still and that she just doesn´t feel right about the Iglesia and muchas cosas que nos decía. Elder May and I never gave up with her and we still kept working with her when Elder Santiago arrived. After months of working with her I had the chance to baptize her and here and see her testimony grow. Something that amazed me more than anything was to hear her to tell me when she arrived to the servicio bautismal on Saturday with a smile on her face and the first thing she told me was that all day she was so nervous and anxious for 6 oclock when the service started. She told me that she has such a strong testimony of this church that on Saturday one of her familiares passed away and she was missing out on seeing and supporting the family because she felt like coming to the baptism was the most important for her. She literally told me that she knows she will see this member of the family again after this life but first she needed to be baptized. Literally to hear that and see how much her testimony had grown honestly made me so happy and to see how excited she was for her bautismo. During the service she shared her testimony and thanked me for all the paciencia I had with her and for all I had done for her. I always knew that she would progress that is why I never gave up to visit her even when she told us straight up that she doesn´t believe el Libro de Mormon to be the Word of god. We testified to her that if she read it and prayed to her Heavenly Father who is the only person that knows whether or not it is the Word of God she would recieve her answer. 2 months later she recieved her message and her testimony is super strong over the Libro de Mormon. This weeked was honestly so awesome for me and made me love being a missionary aun mas!!!
Today is the cambios en la misión and I got the news that I will be staying here with Elder Santiago here in Polanco for another ciclio (6 semanas). I am extremely grateful for this oportunidad as we have more work to do and more people to find. Even though I have 4 and a half months here I know that the Lord is still preparing personas and we just need to find them This week in the capilla we had 4 en la capilla and there are more people wanting to learn more about el Evangelio de Jesucristo. I am looking forward to another ciclio here in Polanco and setting metas with Elder Santiago. I love this Barrio también, they treat me so well and always have been so good to me. I am grateful for the oportunidad that the Lord has given me.
Today for Pday Elder Santiago and I just kind of chilled around la casa. I am really enjoying the misión and all the things that I have learned! I still have a lot to learn and looking forward to it all! We will see what this cycle brings for Elder Santiago and I. When times are hard always look passed them and think of your Father in Heaven that loves you so much! Hope all is well!
