So... how about them TRANSFERS!!!! I will be staying here in Bosque in another Trio. I will be with Elder Correia and Elder Marks. I don't know either of them, but I hear that they are pretty good. One is waiting for a visa to go somewhere and the other will stay with me the whole transfer! Pretty excited to see what we can do. Change is good! My District all stayed besides Elder Mendes who will be heading to another area. Please keep him in your prayers. This transfer should be good! Ü
President showed up at my District meeting and explained how he wants us to baptize five people this week and reach a transfer goal of twelve. On Monday our District only had two baptisms for sure this week... but miracle after miracle... we ended up baptizing FIVE people in total this week. It was seriously so neat!! We all exercised our faith and left it to the will of the Lord. It really strengthened my testimony as we were able to help five more people come unto Christ through baptism. We also broke the curse that was here in Bosque as we baptized Fatima. This has seriously been such a neat week and it blows my mind what we can do as we put our faith in the Lord and do the things that He wants us to do.
There are so many people that are lost and so many that tell me... "If Jesus Christ came here and talked to me personally.. I would have faith in Him."... and it always gets me. That literally defeats the purpose of faith. Unfortunately... there are people here who, even if they saw God and Jesus Christ... they would still not have faith in them. Life is rough... we are tested... we lose our faith... we doubt... we struggle... we do dumb things... we aren't perfect..... but even through all of these struggles, we can be picked back up. We are here on the earth with a purpose. I am so grateful to be able to have faith in a supreme being. I am grateful for the knowledge of the Gospel and the joy it brings to my life. The Gospel gives us hope, strengthens our faith, and helps us to walk on the right path to eternal life. What a blessing that is and what a blessing it is to be here to share that wonderful message.
I am so grateful for each and everyone of you and the examples that you are. I hope you know how much I love you and how much I miss you. Have a wonderful and SAFE 4th of July.
