Hello
hello hello!
First off and most
importantly, Norma got baptized yesterday!! yay!! it was so amazing. She was a
little sad because her kids (the youngest is 17) decided to sleep in instead of
coming and supporting her. But during one of the talks, the sister giving the
talk told her to look around her at the people there, because now they're all
her familia. It was a super sweet moment, and Norma just started crying. She
cried after she was baptized too, and I can't really explain the immense joy I
felt as I saw her truly accept her savior and be washed clean. She has gone
through so much in her life, including losing her husband and 12-year old
daughter. and right now barely has food on the table. But she's still faithful.
She still cries out to God in gratitude and humility. If you want to see true
humility, come meet the newest member of the La joya ward.
Let's see.. everything
else is pretty normal. We're seeing lots of miracles with our members, with
them literally bringing us investigators to baptisms and church. (soooo
awesome.) The Lord is working hard on these people and it's so cool.
This week a member
showed us the video "The Bridgemaster and his son." Probably one of
the coolest videos ever. It helps us truly understand the sacrifice that was
made for us by our heavenly father and his son.
I know that Christ
suffered and died for us, and rose again so that we can overcome not only
physical, but spiritual death. I can't express my gratitude for that. Let us
make sure that he did not suffer in vain by taking advantage of the atonement
and repenting and coming unto Him. Today is the day. God needs you now, so
don't wait. There are things way bigger than you at work, and we can choose
whether or not we're going to be a part of it. Choose to be happy. Choose life.
Choose Christ.
I love you all! Have a
great week!
