Unofficial Systems Secretary

Hey!  Sorry for the absenteeism!  I've been in the office working on fixing the systems, again, so I'm the unofficial systems secretary.  It has been pretty crazy!  But today, for P-Day, we went biking on the beach!  It was awesome!  We went with president and his family.  I absolutely loved it!  We also had a really cool appointment with 2 investigators here in La Molina, and they were very sincere!  It was so fun!  I really am loving the mission, and working hard until the end.  I love you guys!  I'll see you in two.5 weeks! 

Baptism and God's Work

This week Flor and her daughter Jasmin got baptized!  It was so amazing!  They are so incredible, and really want to follow Christ.  It was absolutely wonderful!  We also had some people show up to sacrament meeting that ended up being golden investigators!  We are literally seeing miracles!  I know this is God's work, and he works in his way.  It is amazing to see his hand in everything!  I have been struck again this week with how real all of this is.  I know that God actually does work miracles in our lives, and that if we are willing to turn our lives over to him, we will see incredible things!  God is not just a Sunday God.  He is our God, and he is not dead, nor doth he sleep.  He is working and acting without rest to bring about the immortality and eternal life of man, that we might have joy.  I know it's true.  In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Baptisms and Growing into the Principle of Revelation

We found another golden investigator this week!  He was a reference, and his friend is preparing to go on a mission!  He wants to be baptized, and then go on a mission! He is super amazing!  His name is Aron, and his mom is from a church that normally likes to fight against us, but she had been praying that young people would come to teach her son the word of God, and we were the answer to her prayers!  It's absolutely the best!  He's going to be baptized July 14th.  Also, we have 2 investigators that will be baptized July 7th, this Saturday!  It's going to be amazing!  These next couple of weeks are going to be difficult for them though, so if you guys could pray for Aron, Flor, and Jazmin, it would help them out a ton!  Thanks so much!  I have been reading a little from the April General Conference, and it is amazing.  I love the talk by President Nelson in the Sunday Morning Session.  It's all incredible, but these paragraphs really stood out to me:

In like manner, what will your seeking open for you? What wisdom do you lack? What do you feel an urgent need to know or understand? Follow the example of the Prophet Joseph. Find a quiet place where you can regularly go. Humble yourself before God. Pour out your heart to your Heavenly Father. Turn to Him for answers and for comfort.
Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses—yes, the very longings of your heart. And then listen! Write the thoughts that come to your mind. Record your feelings and follow through with actions that you are prompted to take. As you repeat this process day after day, month after month, year after year, you will “grow into the principle of revelation.”

It's absolutely incredible to see the power God is willing to give us if only we are diligent in seeking.  I know that God will be able to help us in every facet of our lives.  Every single one.  God wants us to see miracles.  If we are willing to focus ourselves in every moment on our desires, we will see absolute miracles.  I love you guys, and I love the Lord.  I know he lives.  And the reason for which he lives is to operate in our lives, and help us to achieve exaltation.  It's absolutely incredible!
