This week was an interesting one like always, LOL. We started out the week with a trip out to Pijijiapan to go help them out there with a few investigators to get them ready for baptism. With one our investigators, I agreed to come tomorrow and help him dig his well because he's blind and he still has to dig very deep to get to the water. But some of the elders and I are gonna head out to help him out. He and his family are listening to the Elders there in Piji so we are hoping a little bit of service will also help them feel the Savior's love.
While we were out there I received a call from Presidente Doman asking if I could help him out the next day to organize a branch there in 3 Picos and then in Cabeza De Toro form a Groupo Familiar which is when there aren't enough people to be a branch but they have at the least one Priesthood holder that is active.
So we headed back to Tonala to get some things ready and also gather clothes for our baptisms that we really didn't have yet but we were gonna see what happened. So after all that we went to 3 Picos and visited a few of our investigators and invited them to be baptized the next day. Two of them said yes and so I gave them an interview and we were ready for the next day for president.
But when president showed up the next day for the baptism before our meetings, he ended up talking to one of our investigators that has been listening to the missionaries foreverrr and honestly I didn't even think she would want to be baptized but 10 minutes later she was asking if it was allowed to be baptized too. So we also had her baptized that day. It was an amazing baptism honestly. It was in a pool in the middle of nowhere but the location does not matter. All that matters is that three more of the children of God entered in a covenant with their Heavenly Father that day.
After the baptisms, we started organizing the records of members there and getting papers ready to send them to the church offices in Salt Lake, and now we are waiting to see if we can get a branch set up here which would be great. After all that we left to go to Cabeza de Toro to have a meeting there. It was a good meeting. It looks like that little town is really getting going. The members are working too! The only sad thing is that I won't be here to see all these things actually happen. President told me that I am gonna help him organize it but I am gonna be changed to another area 29th of Abril.
But it´s alright. Wherever I go I´m going there for a reason so we´ll see what happens LOL.
But after all this on Friday in the afternoon we went over to 3 Picos to fill out paperwork but as we entered the town we saw a bunch of smog and all surrounding the town. Once we got to house of a member she told us a guy needed help that lives out on the outskirts of 3 Picos so we went out to his house. The wind was crazy which made the fire worse and made it worse for us because we could not see. We were just getting slapped in the face by ashes. But for a few hours we helped the hermano to put out the fires that surrounded his house.
But all in all it was a pretty good week-- a little stressful at times but fun at the same time lol. Oh and also I am gonna leave one escritora every week that I like and why because porque nooo LOL. Entonces this week is gonna be MOSÍAH 3: 7:
7 And lo, he shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people.
I love this scripture so much honestly it really explains that the Savior suffered for more than just our sins. He felt EVERYTHING, all for each and every one of us. Through this we can all know that we are never alone. Our Savior knows each of us personally. He knows our trials. He knows our problems. He knows YOU. His hands are always extended to you. He's just waiting for us to reach out to Him. So please reach out and pray and you will feel peace and that you will feel His love. We are never alone in this life, NEVER.
LES AMO
HASTA EL ARBOL!!!
