Yesterday Juan Cortez was baptized! It was an amazing baptism. A recent convert Luis conducted and a member that we reactivated a couple months ago was able to give the talk on baptism. It was a real challenge getting Juan ready but it happened and although he still has some struggles with doctrines he had no doubt in his mind that this is what he needed to do.
We had two people that we had not expected show up to church yesterday as well. The first was Ana an investigator that we never get to contact other than through Facebook and Gabby the daughter of Ina a member that recently came back to church. Ina is a miracle all by herself but now she is starting to see the blessings of coming back to church. At first it was just her for a couple weeks and slowly her children have been coming back. Her son Danny is a regular going member now and Gabby showed up yesterday. Who knows maybe soon Danny with choose to serve a mission and both Gabby and Alex will become active again:) I sure hope so! I love them all very much.
I made a goal last week to start writing all the miracle that I see every day and to take atleast one picture a day. Its been pretty good and from these two goals I have come to see the blessings and be more thankful for them than I ever was before.
Miracle exist and they happen in my life pretty regularly. They happen, but I often forget them and now I can look back and remember them.
The weeks keep on passing and they get fast and fast as they go. It is almost the end of summer and kids are starting school again and I don't know where the time went. If anyone knows just tell me cause I would like to know.
Cheers!
