Hola
Juan
and Beatrice got baptized! It was an amazing experience, they are both
very solid and I had the privilege of baptizing Juan while Elder
Martinez baptized Beatriz. Lots of the members from the Branch were
there and they all are awesome support for this new family. Juan also
received the Aaronic Priesthood and Sunday after church so now our goal
is to get him blessing the sacrament and into the temple doing baptisms!
We are very excited to continue working with him, he also cut my hair
this morning so he's going to try and start up his own business as a
barber! We are going to get the word out, he is pretty good at cutting
hair!
On
Saturday I was on splits with a member named Genaro Vazquez, he's our
Ward Mission Leader and we went and visited some families and other
people that we are working with. We put this guy named Jacinto on date
for October 10th. It was a great experience, he is a newer investigator
and he has a ton of potential! Sunday afternoon we also put a girl named
Angela on date for September 26th, she's super ready to be baptized!
The Lord is blessing us so much in this area, I knew when I got here
that this area was going to be the toughest area on my mission, it was a
little bit dead when I got here but we have done a good job working
with the members, staying obedient, and working diligently. In
situations like this, that's all you can do, is stay faithful and keep
working hard. I had been praying specifically for people and now we have
helped those people and the Lord has revealed unto us more people to
work with! I love this area, it's picking up really fast and we are
always busy! I love it here!
Seahawks
lost... Dang it oh well, last year they started bad and made the Super
Bowl so we will see what happens! They have a tough game next week, I
personally think the Packers and Seahawks were the 2 best teams in the
league last year and I'm expecting the same thing this year. We will see
what happens, but it should be a good game!
Thanks for all the letters and support! I know that God loves us and that if we show him our faith, he will give us miracles.
Love,
Elder Strate
