This week has been filled with ups and downs. I will start with the down moments to finish on a positive note. We had a lesson with Brandon on Friday and we taught him the Word of Wisdom. During the lesson he commented to us that he is struggling with keeping this commandment. Hearing that hurt Elder Hernandez and I because he has been progressing so well! We encouraged him that repentance is real and that he can overcome his addiction. However he seemed very sad after we had explained this commandment. He pretty much zoned out mid way through the lesson and I than asked him how he felt. He told me that he felt sad and dissapointed in himself. Deep down I was happy because I could see that he was going through the first faze of the repentance process. We hope that he will be able to use the atonement in his lfie to help him overcome his addictions. Also, Pablo had to get surgery on his knee! This made it so he couldnt come to church with us yesterday, however he promised us that next week he would be good to go! Rocio was also sick all week and wasnt able to come to chruch, but we passed by her house last night and gave her a blessing. She texted us this morning saying that she feels alot better! Love the power of the Priesthood.
Now lets move on to the good news. Marco is ready to be baptized! The only thing we are waiting for is his mothers permission. He has told us that she has told him that she is all for it! His baptism date is for this Saurday. Please pray that we can complete this date for Marco! We also had lidership council this past week and it was great to talk about the mission goals and what we are going to do to complete the goals! To end off the week, we had the zone activity today. We played minute to win it games and ate little ceasers. To top it all off, we broke a piñata filled with candy! Its been a good week over all and hope that you all are enjoying your summer! Take care. By the way, I completed 18 months!!
Love, Elder Gibson
