Baptizing Jesus

1. Baptizing Jesus & Jennifer
That's right, this week we had a baptism of a kid named Jesus! I joked with my comp all week that he's the Lamanite version of John the Baptist:) We spent all week planning every little detail, and Saturday morning we had some setbacks. So we decided to say a special prayer and in the end everything went perfectly! I`m grateful that the Lord worries about and takes care of the little things.

2. Priesthood Power
This week we had zone conference! I was asked to conduct the conference and me and Elder Lopes gave a training. The day before I got sick and was worried that I wouldn't be able to fulfill my responsibilities, so I asked for a priesthood blessing. The next morning I woke up feeling great and everything went smoothly. I´m grateful for the power of the priesthood!

We passed in Urugauy on our trip to Livramento for zone conference!!! I can now say I've been in 2 South American countries.

 3. It´s too good to be true!
This area has a lot of part member families, and this week a couple that was recieving the Elders got married so the husband can be baptized! Well we felt strongly one night that we should go visit them and when we showed up I saw something that I was yet to see in 1 year and 3 months on the mission.... The family's Home Teachers!! Together we left a message and a blessing on the home. I´m grateful for faithful members of the church.

love you all:)
