Baptism

Hola

This week was super good! This week we had 2 baptisms on Saturday. The Hna Adriana y la Hna Lopez got baptized and I had the privilegio to baptize a la Hna Adriana. It was so awesome because Alamea came back to baptize and we saw the blessings. It was such an awesome servicio. Yo conté 52 people there at the baptism and it was full! The Spirit was so strong as we saw the support that the ward and their familias gave them en el bautismal! I was so happy to see that they had taken the decision and I really think that they will help this ward out a lot. This Saturday the 27th we are going to baptize 2 more people and I am so excited for it. Last ciclio with Alamea we worked hard to find more investigadores and we are seeing the fruits this week. I am having such a good time with my comp Elder Bentley! We are working hard and having fun while we do it. Right now we are focusing on in the mision is that every misionero contacts 10 people every day or at least talks with them about el Evangelio. It is going so awesome and we may not be getting the blessings from contacting but the Lord has definitely provided the blessings for us! 

El Libro de Mormón tanto poder. We are almost done reading El Libro de Mormón as a mision and I have felt that I have gained more of a conversion and have come to know my Savior por medio de este lectura. I am so grateful for everything that I have learned and have been able to apply in mis enseñanzas! This week we had a powerful leccion with a family sobre la familia y en el Principios del Evangelio we talked about the importancia en la familia and that every persona tiene responsabilidad in the familia. The first scripture of the Book of Mormon always draws my attention "Yo Nefi nací de buenos padres" I always think about this quote and was thinking a lot this week what had the parents of Nefi done to be such good parents. As we have been reading the Book of Mormon me estoy dando cuenta that really el ejemplo is how we can help our kids. I always look up to the example that mis papas me pusieron toda mi vida. I always remembered before the mish just not understanding things or why my parents said that I couldn´t do ciertas cosas but now in the mish just everything makes sense. They have been such a good example in my familia and I realize to have a familia exitosa it requires a lot more work and resposabilidades from each person of the familia. Elder Bentley and most of the barrios here in Mexico have been focusing a lot on the importancia of La Familia: Proclamacion Para el Mundo (Family: Proclamation to the World) I think it is like that in English jajajjaj. I invite all to study this in your Family Home Evening mañana and we really see the love and power that this proclamation brings in the family. If we are going to get to the presencia de Dios well we need to do it with our familias because we can not do it alone. There are 3 scriptures that I love en El Libro de Mormón. Se encuentran en 3 Nefi 18: 19-21 they say:

19 Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name;

20 And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you. 

21 Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name, that your wives and your children may be blessed. 

We have the promise that if we pray and that if it is justa then we will get our answer and if we pray in our families, they will be protected. I love these promises and know that the familias are so important! 

Well this week was good and I will have pics of the baptisms for next week! Hope that you all have a great week and that you enjoy the pic with me and the Queso Oaxaca.
