We had a baptism this week!! And it
was a wonderful experience!! We baptized a little girl named
Vianey(bee-a-ney). She's 10 years old and here parents are a bit less
active. But she goes to church anyways!! And yes her parents came to the
baptism and everything. It was such a wonderful experience and I felt
the spirit so strong!! We are now working with the whole family so we
can get them to the temple to be sealed!! What a wonderful opportunity!!
The last picture is of the family. They are 4 in the family.
Oh,
and yes the building we meet in is an LDS building. Its just small and
only has a few rooms. In the second picture, we are standing in front of
the baptismal font. Yep, its outside!! Its a bit different eh? I thinks
its great!! It doesn't really matter where we do the baptisms, the
important thing is that they are getting baptized!!
So we
have found some new people to teach too. There aren't many people here
that are interested to listen to us, so its a miracle that we are
starting to find some more people! Our prayers are really being
answered!! Other than that, everything is good here in Calotmul. Its
been raining almost every day. This whole past week it has been raining.
I think its because there is a hurricane close..! Hopefully it doesn't
hit us!! Haha.
Oh, and also our fridge died. The other day we were
finishing up oiur planning and suddenly all the lights and power went
off. Then after like 2 seconds it all turned back on again. And then the
fridge didn't work... So luckily the branch president is a mechanic for
fridges so he came to the rescue!! Whew! Thanks goodness! I thought my
milk was going to go bad lol.
Hope everyone had a good week
and thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! Stay faithful every day
and look for opportunities to brighten someones day!!
Love,
Elder Strate
