HEY!
This week was really satisfying. I forgot to mention last week that Grace got baptized after church and we ended the week with both Jyyyyuana and Jyyyyocelyn being baptized. It was amazing! This week i just want to share a few stories that were touching.
Jyyyyocelyn is a mother of a fairly big family. For a long time, around 12 years or Jocelyn has been taught by many different missionaries but she has never been interested in being baptized but the kids were fellow-shipped by the church and stayed active even at times where the dad couldn't attend because of work and didn't attend much. Many times the mom rejected being baptized and when she finally said yes, it still took awhile, partially due to her schedule at work. After months of teaching her and trying to prepare her this sunday she finally got baptized this last saturday and it was awesome to have been able to be here for her change of heart. I can feel that things will be so much better for the family. Last sunday we talked and we started preparing them for the next step, Temple Marriage. I love the temple and i love focusing on Eternal Families! What great a truth that we believe in that our families can be together forever and we have the authority in the Church to do this wonderful ordinance!
Another miracle was that Jyyyyuana does not really remember a lot of what we really teach her because she just really cannot remember but she passed her baptismal interview and remembered some of what we have taught her and she has strong faith and wants to do what is right! She is awesome! I am so proud of her!
Sister Ayyyyrellano (our amazing referral giving member) told me her story about how a year after she got baptized that every day she would wake up at 4am to study the scriptures and she would pray for her husband and she would pray for guidance that she would know how to help him. Over the course of a year she saw his conversion as he got rid of the vices that he had and slowly came and changed completely who he was and now loves going to church and making Christ the center in their home.
I am just amazed at these wonderful people's stories and testimonies. I love being apart of their stories and helping them come unto Christ. The mission truly is one of the best things ever! I love the chance to forget about myself and help others. I miss you all and hope you all have a great week!
