Hey everybody! I'm writing again because I realized that it's been over a month since I've written and a lot of stuff has happened.
First of, it was my birthday like a month ago (21 de Julio) so that's cool, I'm officially 20 years old. I also hit the one year mark on the mission so I'm over half way done which is crazy to think about. It doesn't feel like hardly any time has gone by. Amanda got baptized on my birthday, and we baptized her in the ocean on the beach so that was cool to. I spent my Bday baptizing on the beach. We don't have a baptismal font here because the church is just a house that we use. Keila also got baptized 2 weeks ago and her husband baptized her in the pool here. It's been amazing how Amanda and Keika have progresed spiritual since their baptisms. Amanda is a 17 year old girl from Venesuela, her parents arn't members (yet jaja) but they suport her in the church which is good. In the month she has been a member she is now the leader of the young women, reactavated two other youth and their families, and has given a talk and bore her testimony in church. Keila has also been doing well and her husband is very exited that his wife finaly got baptized :)
Apart from the baptisms and birthdays, in the last month we had transfers, we both stayed here, I got sick 2 times, ate a lot of salchipapa (probably one of the reasons I got sick twice) found a new neiborhood in Planeta Rica that we didn't know existed, knocked a LOT of doors, wached the new (well old now but new for us lol) spiderman in an branch activity, found a great talk/speech/class thing about the BOM (I'll put it in the email below bit it's only in Spanish so if you don't understand Spanish too bad, got bitten by fire ants, lots of rain, only 2 floods, and so much more.
I'm already out of time (I only have a half an hour to write this) but I want to testify that durring my mission, I've seen more than ever how God bleses the lives of his children here on the earth. I testify that he loves each and every one of you and that he is ready and waiting to help and bless you in ways that you can't even imagen. I have seen so many lives changed for the better durring my mission, including my own. I love the mission, it's the hardest thing I've ever done, but its the best thing I've ever done and one of the best things that has ever happend to me. I know that Jesus lives and that he is our savior. That he has established his church on the earth today and that it is lead by his prophet. I know that the gosple of Jesus Christ is the sorce of hope, love, and joy that this world needs so badly in this time. I love the description in Mosiah 28:3 of how the sons of mosiah felt about missionary work. It describes so well why this work exists.
I hope you guys have a good week, I'll put pictures below and the link to the Google photos thingy for más.
