This week has been pretty good. The best part of the week was the baptism we had for Bertha, she is 13 and is the only member in her family now. She made the decision to be bautizada and was so awesome. I had the oportunidad to baptize her and she was so nervous before the baptism all the way up to the ordenanza. I remember we got in the water and she was breathing super heavy and I told her that it would be alright that it wouldn´t be very long under the water. As I started the prayer se puso calma and I just remember feeling the Spirit so strong as I lowered her into the water. I knew that she was an hija de Dios and that he was so happy with her in that moment. After the baptism and seeing all her familia there supporting her that weren´t members it was such an awesome service! I remember asking her how she felt and she told me that she had no idea how to explain it but she had never felt so new in her life. I know that this is the true Church and that the Lord is working entre nosotros. (I am sorry for the Spanish in here jajja I just don´t remember how to say it in English anymore jajaja). We were supposed to baptize 2 but
Well this week there were changes here in the mish. They had changed the boundaries in the mish and now Elder Bentley and I are going to stay in Benito Juarez but we are going to be part of another Estaca. We are now part of the Estaca La Perla. They also changed our area a little bit so we are going to work and learn our new area this week. I am back to the La PERLA!!! JAJAJAJ I haven´t been there since I was born here in the mish. There is a good chance though that Elder Bentley and I could have changes together though and they might send us to another zone to be the Zone Leader´s there. We are waiting to hear if there is going to be other changes in the mish. I know that these changes are for the best and that the Lord is working entre nosotros and he wants the best for in this life and that is why we have changes. Changes help us to be better in this life and I know that everyday we can get better if we make changes in our lives and evaluamos nuestras vidas.
Well I am super excited this week to meet new miembros and learn the area. Elder Bentley and I are super excited and we can´t wait for the oportunidad. This week we are also going to finish the Book of Mormon as a mish and I am so excited. Everyday for the last 3 months I have woken up so excited to read the capitulos and to learn more. I have come to know my better my Salvador and have greater strengthened my conversion. I know without a doubt that this the true church here on Earth que fue restaurado por el profeta Jose Smith. I am so grateful to be a missionary, yes sometimes it can be hard but I love doing it and I have come so much closer to my Salvador and I still have more time to know him even better! Yes there are days where it is hard like this week when Elder Bentley and I had stomach pain almost everyday but we know that the Lord is watching over us and that we can be instrumentos en sus manos. I invite all to read El Libro de Mormon but focus on how much it centers on Christ and you will come to a better appreciation for his life and as your Hno. I love this Church and these times I have had so far have definitely been the best. I know that everything happens for a reason and that these are the best moments that I will always remember. I hope you have a great week!
