April 29, 2013

Well this week was another blessed one that ended with more baptisms! I have been super blessed to have been here in Jaraguá for all this time and we have had a lot of success. This week we had 3 baptisms and we had the baptism service with the other ward that uses the same chapel, Taipas, and they had 2 baptisms. 9 people in white. Man I love pictures with so many people in white at the same time. The week went by really quick and was a rushed one to get everything ready but in the end everything went great and everyone was baptized that we prepared. Priscila and Suellen are mom and daughter, and they accepted the truth extremely quickly and were baptized. It was amazing to see how quickly they progressed. And Luis was the same way, he's Bolivian, my first baptism that isn't brasilian! And he progressed quickly as well. I am so grateful that the Lord has allowed me to be a part in the lives of these people.
Also next week we have 3 more baptisms marked with a mom, daugther, and granddaugther. 3 generations! We´ve been working with them for awhile and they accepted the goal this past week and were super excited. We have quite a lot of people that we are working with to be baptized during this transfer. This area has had a ton of success with the youth and its awesome to see all the young men that I baptized and how they all want to serve missions. They all talk about what their names will be on the mission.
I LOVE THE MISSION. There is nothing better than being able to help people be baptized!

Eu Te Amo
