Hope you
guys have had a great week...We have had another great week... It is
very interesting my Role here in the Mission I am learning everyday how
to become a better missionary and a better leader...It is hard because
we have to put in a lot of time to helping missionaries, preparing
meetings, and doing the administrative parts of Leadership in the
Mission...Putting in this extra time is necessary but it does tire you
out haha...We spend a lot of the mornings in the offices working then we
go to lunch with a member, after that we are usually free to work in
our own area contacting and teaching...so by the end of the day we are
pretty dang tired...We keep on doing companion exchanges here in
Hermosillo and in every part of the mission... We are seeing a great
movement in the work...The missionaries are excited and everyone seems
to be finding and teaching lots of people...We continue this week with 3
meetings...1 with all of the Zone Leaders and Sister Leaders, another
with just sister leaders and a third with all of the District Leaders of
the Mission...so all of us will be pretty busy with that this
week...haha
Last
night I had a wonderful opportunity...Sandra is a Convert that I was
able to baptize in my last ward...her husband, almost a year and a half
ago, died and since then she had felt the need to come closer to
God...She was baptized 3 months ago and she called President asking if I
could be the proxy for her husbands baptism in the temple...the
President gave me permission and I was able to be a proxy in that
baptism last night...While I was there I saw a familiar face...It was
Eduardo from my last area as well...(it must have been ward temple night
haha) Eduardo was able to bring a few names of his family members to be
a proxy for them...After every Baptism he had a huge smile on his
face...it was just as big as the smile he had when he himself was
baptized almost 2 months ago...It was a great night for 2 great
converts...They felt and I know that the Baptisms that we performed last
night were completely valid unto God for these people...and that these
people even though they didnt get that chance to accept the Gospel here
on this world...they have or are having or will have the great
opportunity in the Spirit World to accept this wonderful plan...
Another
time this week we were talking with a young couple that have not been
sealed yet...We had planned the lesson the day earlier that we were
going to teach about the Sealing Ordinance...so we arrived at the
appointment and introduced the topic and the Sister related a story that
had happened a few days earlier...The Brother was sick with something
of the stomach the doctors warned that it might be Advanced Appendicitis
and that it might have been too late to do anything...Sister later told
us that after hearing the doctor tell her this the first thing that she
thought of was that She and her husband had not been sealed...The
thought scared her a lot...which got her super excited to meet with the
Bishop this Sunday to talk about what they need to do as a couple to be
able to get to the temple and recieve this great ordinance...Temples are
so great...I love them...I was thinking today while sitting in the
Celestial Room that wouldnt it be great if we could just live in the
temple...Or even greater if we could still live in our own homes and
feel as if we were living in the temple, And then I pondered how we
could make our homes feel like that...I will leave that with you guys to
ponder this week...
Love you all
