Hey family this week has been awesome. Elder Rodriguez and I have been enjoying serving here in extra time more than ever this week the hand of the Lord has been manifests in every part of the work we have been so blessed to be instrument in his hand and help further his work.
This past week we have had some pretty awesome experiences with an investigator named Angela. Angela is the wife of a member that lives in a small Area called San Antonio, it's straight up the mountain from where we live. We have been visiting her family for quite some time and have been really focused on being consistent with Angela and trying to serve her. She is awesome but she has been having some health problems and other personal circumstances that have been obstacles for her. We were beginning to worry that she was going to become an "eternal investigator" heaven for-bid, so we decided to go and teach her a power Charla early one afternoon with her family last Saturday. When we arrived in breathless and red in the face to her house on the mountaintop, her son Carlos was outside waiting for us; he was excited and told us "my mom must be baptized! she told me she wants to be baptized! Well our hopes were always high and we know that baptism is A real expectation for all of those we teach,Still, this was the last thing that we were expecting. What an amazing blessing! We walked into the house and sat down and had an awesome lesson with Angela. She told us that she wanted to be baptized and we planned on Sunday and she accepted. The Lord truly tested her heart and prepared her to accept our invitation for such a quick baptism date. She had already come to church and lived the other requirements for baptism. This week Angela has had some huge obstacles come up.i am sure Satan pulled out almost all the stops to prevent Angela from being baptized, but she remained strong all throughout this week even though there was not one day that password by without serious trials.
Angela was baptized yesterday with a smile on her face her son was able to that baptize her and it was an awesome experience for her a testimony builder for me.
Yesterday we also have the baptism is for families Hernandez and also the family Monotalla; both of these families are awesome and I love them. I will send you their stories next week. The Monotalla family are an older couple, they are 75 years old and have demonstrated huge faith to be baptized yesterday they walked several miles every Sunday to come to church and then another several miles to return to their house homes each week. The Hernandez family also had to have so much faith in the Savior and our great examples of service .This week I would like to invite you to to find opportunity to share the gospel through service. When we serve others we serve that" at times the wisdom of that appears to be foolish or just too difficult, but one of the greatest and most valuable lessons we can learn from mortality is that when God speaks and man obeys, that man will always be right." Thomas S. Monson
