Hola from Houston
Killer week as always. Literally killer because we got the dumb flu again! So we were knocked out for a few days, but the great part is that we are Facebook missionaries, so we were able to teach a few lessons from the comfort of our own home! I've been learning the GOOD that technology can bring us and how we can use it to further the work!
We finished the week being sick with the baptism of Javiercillo. He's 9 years old and his whole family are members, minus him because they were inactive when he turned 8! Teaching him has been a really sweet experience. I really love how simple the gospel is, and how simple we can make it to teach even the youngest of God's children.
During Javiercillo's baptism, all the missionaries that taught him had the chance to sing "I know when I am baptized" and it was one of the most spiritual experiences of my mission. As we sang, tears fillled my eyes. Javier was sitting on the front row, freshly baptised, the most clean person in the whole room, looking at us missionaries. He was just smiling the biggest smile, the happiest I've seen anyone. He came up to us after and gave us a big hug. :) #missionarypayday
We are teaching someone named Estephany, she has 2 sweet little girls who are the most precious things. Her husband is a member, but works on Sundays. She just started coming to church a few weeks ago, and we have been able to meet with her and yesterday I sat with her at church. All the lessons seemed to be what she needed, and at the end she turned to me and said "what do I need to do to get baptized?" She is amazing.
Shoutout to WML for bringing us tons of groceries while we were dying of the plague. Also it's a #miralce that we still love each other after 3 days of confinement:) Every dinner we had this week was members bringing us chicken soup. #blessed
I've been impressed lately about how God has allowed me to watch certain people accept and live the Gospel. I've loved being able to help those who don't know the message yet, understand it and allow it to change them. It's such an amazing privilege we have as missionaries!! I love this Gospel and the chance I have to share it here in Houston!!
