No Greater Joy

Wow, the time is flyin......

We had a zone conference on Thursday (my last one) that was super good. I also got a letter from MariaJose Ventura, one of my converts from Guadalupe!! She and her family are doing well and she's working on her personal progress!! "I have no greater joy than to hear that my [converts] walk in truth." 

This week we were talking with Talia (investigator) and her sister (recent RM) and we asked how she's feeling about baptism, and she said she still didn't know. We had just finished teaching a lesson about tithing and fasting, and she said she wanted to fast about it. So she picked a baptismal date for the 25th and we all fasted about it. We’re going to go see her today to see how it went(: It was pretty awesome for her to have that idea herself and to follow through with it. 

Saturday we got to go to the temple with Irving and some members so he could do baptisms!! We got there at 5, and the temple workers said we'd have to wait 15 minutes. Well we were still waiting at 6:15 and they told us it wouldn't be possible because there weren't enough temple workers available. But we explained that we were with a recent convert to do baptisms for the first time, and everything worked out. It was a really great experience to be there with Irving, his girlfriend, and our ward mission leader. 

Well, being a missionary is the very best thing ever. I’m so grateful to have known so many amazing people that I otherwise never would have met. I love Jesus Christ and His gospel, I love being a missionary, and I LOVE PERU!!!
