Hello Family and Friends,
How has it been going for everyone??? I'm pretty sure this starts week 16 of quarantine but we are popping stronger than ever!!
First off, this week has been a little bit of a tough one. Don't really know why, it was just one of the grind weeks that was a toughie! But after a hard week it just made the sweet Sunday even sweeter! This was one of the Sundays where you could actually feel the renewing power that comes from attending church (even though it is online) and partaking of the sacrament! Even though it was just me and my companion in our little apartment, you could feel the spirit as he accompanied us yesterday!
Biggest miracle of the week though... JULIO CAME TO CHURCH!!!! He joined and all the members already know him so they gave him a couple of shoutouts and were just so kind and welcoming to him! He truly appreciated it!
Also, some more exciting news we received is that Julio can receive the priesthood the same day! So, he will get baptized, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and be ordained to a Priest all within the same day! We told him that yesterday and he was really amazed by that! The biggest thing that touched his heart is we told him, is that after he gets baptized, he can start helping us to teach his 8-year-old son and then he will have the opportunity to baptize him!!! HIS EYES GOT SO BIG WHEN WE TOLD HIM THAT!!! I love Julio so much!
We have also been teaching this 13-year-old kid named Isael and he is so awesome too! He texts us like all the time to talk and show us his chickens and then he asks us if we could teach him some more about the Mormon Book! So, we have been helping him out and he called us out to the blue yesterday and asked if we could read 3 Nephi 11 with him because he says he really wants to read it!!!
I love all of you and hope that you are all safe and Keep Grinding it out! Miracles are coming your way! Sunday will come!
Also, some more big news! We are getting another new companion this next Thursday! He served in Argentina for about a year before he got send home! So that means this will be my 10th companion in 10 months and 5th trio!!!!! If I keep this up, I'll beat Callie's record of 22!
