Que Tal mi querida familia? Ojala que comieron algo Mexicano y picante el sabado pasado!!
If you don’t understand that I invite you to repent and learn the celestial language of Española!
How was your 5-de mayo?? All I can say was that mine was better!! You want to know why?
1. 3 of my dear rice loving friends entered into the waters of baptism this weekend and it was a baptism service so amazing! We had tons of support from the ward and about 50 people showed up between the 2 baptismal services! There was just such a peace in this service that it made me so excited to keep helping everyone get to this moment! You can never underestimate the power of MINISTERING!!! It is so powerful and it really has been changing lives!!
2. We didn’t eat rice on Saturday!! Hallelujah!! We made some Mexican food and the famous Peruvian papa a la Huancaina for lunch with a family of members and their 2 not-yet member friends!! Looking forward to seeing some more baptisms there as well!
3. Service, service, and more service. So this week we have become some construction experts and one of our service projects was to destroy an old guardaria which I think is called day care in English... but anyway it is going to be a home so they wanted us to clear out all of the walls!! It was seriously a dream come true to take sledgehammers to the walls and just break everything ha-ha!!! But the clean up was kind of rough and we were short on time because of the baptisms we had to prepare!
4. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!!
So sorry there isn’t too much more time to tell about all of the other miracles we had this week but I just wanted to end with the quote of the week from my new investigator and favorite New Yorker Moises Ronquillo "hay que estar alegre!!! La vida es beautiful baby!!!" yes he speaks Spanglish hard core and cannot control it at all ha-ha!! He just got back from the US and doesn’t remember Spanish 100% neither English 100% haha I love this funny old guy!!
My new favorite scripture is 2 Nephi 5:27
27. And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness.
If you read the context of this scripture you will understand that they did not have many reasons to be happy.... they just had to abandon their houses... again..... Their brothers Laman and Lemuel literally wanted to kill all of them, and had no food or home. Why in the world were they happy?! The answer is in the same chapter and I invite all of you to read 2 Nephi 5 and ask yourself what you can do to be happier TODAY!!!
Love you all and hope and pray that all mothers can enjoy this special week!!! Don’t forget to show extra love for your momma this Sunday!!!
