This week has easily been one of the greatest weeks I have had here in the mission. We started out having our zone conference on Tuesday. Elder Hernandez and I gave our training and everything turned out great! The conference lastest from about 9 to about 4. Right after we had to bust over to our church building to fill up the baptismal font. We had Jazmins baptism at 6:30! It was super stressful getting everything ready, but everything ended up being awesome just in time! I still cant beileve how much Jazmin has changed since the first time we taught her. Also her whole family showed up to her baptism and they had a great experience. In fact, her mom is very "catholic" and never wanted to listen to us before however after the baptism she started to ask us questions about the church. Than Sunday you will never guess who came to church... Jazmins mom! We know that she is very intertested and wants to take the same path as her daughter but its only a matter of time until she gives up her old traditions to come to the truth. Also after Jazmins confirmation she had a interview with the bishop to get her recommend to do baptisms in the temple. She has plans on going this next week to do baptisms in the temple!
Alright shifting gears to Saturday. We had Ericks baptism and it turned out great as well. Erick also got his temple recomend to go do baptisms in the temple. The sisters from the ward helped us provide with a refreshment after the 2 baptisms! The ward is really excited to see progress and success with new member activity. Really starting to enjoy my time here in La Pastora!
To end, Arturo is going to have his baptism this Saturday. Guadalupe, Juvencio, and Joselyn are going to have thier baptism the 9th on June. They are doing awesome, they all showed up to church and now have made friends with members of the ward. They even have a picture of the Monterrey temple and the proclamation to the world about the family framed in their living room! Guadalupe even bought earplugs already for her baptism!😂👍 They just understand everything super well and are very well prepared. We have been extremly blessed here in our area! Elder Hernandez and I are really getting along well as well. All is good! Have a great week!
Love, Elder Gibson
