Week 15

Hey Family!!!

Today I hit my 5 month mark on the mission!!! It is flying by!!! :) :( The weather is great and it is starting to get cooler!

 

So we went to Point Loma last week!!! it was awesome!!! It is super close to where I am serving! :)

 

That same night we went and visited a referral that the sisters gave us. Their names are Julio and Luz. They are so amazing right when we met them I knew that they were going to get baptized, they had definitely been prepared by the hand of the Lord. We taught them the Plan of Salvation and they had some awesome questions. They are recently married and Luz is 4 months pregnant. We talked about Eternal Families and i shared with them about how we got sealed in the temple and the Spirit was so strong and you could see a light go off in their eyes. They knew that everything that we were sharing was true. I invited them to be baptized and they said yes! We are trying to get a baptismal date for the 12th of October. They want to keep learning and coming to church. They actually have gone to church like 5 times and they came again this Sunday! Super AWESOME!! We have an appointment with them tonight and we are going to the Mormon Battalion. So it is going to be a very spiritual experience for all of us. 

So I went on Exchanges with Elder Barton this week and I was in Logan Heights again, man I love it so much there. We had some super spiritual experiences with the people there. All of the lessons we had were super powerful. We had a lunch appointment with Brother Sanchez. We had Lamb and all this super yummy high quality food! I was not expecting it because logan is super poor and dirty. But his house was clean and well kept and he actually works as a chef in Down town San Diego, and it was sooooooo good, 4 star quality. He has been a member his whole life but never active. In mexico city his parents housed the missionaries, but him and his dad were never active. He then got married and had his daughter Frita at 20 (Oh yeah he is the same age as dad) and she has mental handicaps and HAD epilepsy. The missionaries in Mexico City when Frida was 9 gave her a Priesthood blessing and healed her!!! She was having seizures multiple times a day and everyday, ever since that blessing she has not had 1 seizure!! That right there built my testimony. 

 

LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART!!!
