Obviously the highlight was our baptism with my great friend
Kevin Garces!! I have had the great opportunity to teach and work with Kevin
for over 4 months now and he has finally taken a leap of faith and decided to
be baptized this week! Man it has been so incredible to get to know him and
become such great friends!!
Satan attacked Kevin severely over the last few weeks and we’ve
tried our best to help him over come all of his many problems. But let me tell
ya people, if I haven’t said it enough, ill say it again; the Power of Fasting
is REAL!!!!!! And I have been able to witness it time and time again here in
Ecuador, and of course Kevin had many miracles pass this last week!
His baptism was absolutely incredible and the ward treated
him so well!! Kevin asked the bishop to baptize him and we were thrilled about
that!!!! The only down side was that his family didn’t show up to support him. But
the Lord works in mysterious ways and I’m excited to continue working with them
until I see them in a white baptismal jumpsuit!!
One funny part of the baptism was when Kevin went under the water
ha-ha!! So Kevin loves lifting weights more than anything else! He just spends
all the extra time he has lifting and because of that his is Ripped! He also
weighs like 225lbs (even though he doesn’t look it) and was like a solid rock
when he went under the water and the bishop had a really hard time getting him
out of the water even though he’s a big guy too!!
We celebrated my compañeros birthday this week several times
with a few families and it was awesome to though a few surprises together for
him!! He turns 21 on Saturday!
Well not sure what else happened this week but we are
looking forward to another baptism on Saturday so I’m pumped to have another
glorious week in the mission field!
Love all you funny Utahans!! Let me know if you have any
questions! I love hearing from you all!
