So basically every week is pretty normal, nothing too extravagent
happens, and then there´s just one week where everything awesome happens and the
spirit is super strong and you learn a ton and well, yeah..
One awesome thing was that we had the opportunity to go to the temple with
the ward. 7 hour bus ride, all day in the temple, and then a 7 hour bus ride
home. It was great, the spirit was so strong. And I´m just that much more
grateful to have a temple 10 minutes away from home. I´m pretty lucky here,
because usually when we´re this far away from Tuxtla, we can´t go to the temple
unless a convert goes, but my companion hasn´t been to the temple since before
her mission, 16 months. So our mission president gave us permission to go.
Honestly though, when we were waiting for the bus to leave, I could feel the
spirit so strong of the desire from the members to go to the temple, it was way
cool.
Another awesome thing that happened this week was that one of our
investigators, Eulicer, got baptized this weekend! When i got here in this area
my companion told me about Eulicer, and how he didn´t want anything to do with
the church, and didn´t believe it. We went to visit him the first time together,
and honestly all I can remember, is that we invited him to get married, and he
said they would work on it. We invited him to be baptized after his wedding, and
he accepted. My companion was in shock after, because it was the first time that
he had ever accepted. After lots of work, fasting, praying, and saving up,
Eulicer and his wife were able to get married last week, and this week he was
able to be baptized. The spirit was so strong, and his desire to do what is
right has been so strong too. These last few weeks he´s been super happy. Every
time we´ve seen him he told us that he had been praying, and knew who he wanted
to baptize him, or what day, what time, etc. The only thing he asked from us was
that I would sing in English at his baptism, so we sang How Great thou Art in
Spanish then English. Him and his wife are super happy, and they´re excited to
prepare to go to the temple in a year. Honestly, everyone from this family is
awesome, they´re faith is so strong and I´ve learned so much from them.
Well, that´s it for this week, I love ya!
