Rama Guadalupe welcomed its two newest members yesterday! Raul and Susana (the elders' investigator) were baptized on Saturday! It was a beautiful service and I still almost can't believe it happened. Raul's wife, kids, and mom were all there and it was incredible. He and Susana were confirmed yesterday and he will receive the Aaronic priesthood this week. We are so excited to keep working with him and to keep teaching his wife and daughter.
Semana Santa (Easter)
was kind of interesting, we really only saw the live reenactment of the last
week of the savior's life. They did that on Monday in the Plaza de Armas. But I
forgot it was Easter Sunday yesterday until elder Wynn mentioned it.
Guadalupe also
celebrated its 467th birthday on Saturday. It was a special day - 467
years of Guadalupe, Hna Mancilla and I have been together for 5 months, and
Raul was baptized! There was a fun branch activity on Thursday that we got to
go to, we played volleyball and soccer and had lots of fun.
Subject line brought
to you by Jorgito, Raul's 4 year old son. He doesn't say papa or papi like
other kids, he says 'chulo' or 'papi chulo'. I don’t know why. But at the baptism
he heard everyone saying 'Hermano Raul' so he said to his mom 'ahora no es papi
chulo, es hermano chulo!!' (now he's not papi chulo, he's hermano chulo) haha
we laughed pretty hard at that, he's pretty cute. He didn't make it into the
pictures because he was playing soccer.
That about summarizes
my week. It was the greatest to see our hard work pay off and to see Raul's
baptism together. I just want to share a scripture real quick that I keep on
finding in conference talks or scripture study that I love. "eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for them that love Him." 1 Corinthians 2:9.
I love that scripture and it gives me lots of hope for the future. Love the
Lord, keep His commandments, and He will bless us!
Love you all, have a
great week everyone!!
