BAPTISMS

This was a really good week.  Wednesday Jennifer and Valentina got baptized.  It was the best baptismal service that I’ve had in my misión.  A lot of people came and everything went well.  I’ll attach pictures.  Jennifer also started sharing the góspel and invited her friend to her confirmation.  She’s the best. 

  

We had the first ever Valparaíso Oeste Stake conference this weeknend.  They became a stake in July and they are doing very well.  The conference was pretty good but by far the best part was when Presidente Diaz gave a talk.  He talked about the story of David and Goliath.    First off he shared that before his confrontation with Goliath David had been prepared by the Lord in small ways that were not noticed at that time.  Also that David took 5 stones with him and he talked about what those 5 stones could be in our lives.  He mentioned the scriptures, prayer, church attendance, service and temple attendance.  Also after the conference there were 3 baptisms. 

  

This Wednesday there are changes.  I think that I’ll be leaving.  This has been by far my best sector.  Valparaíso is the best.  There are a lot of good members like Obispo Castillo, Gaston, Jennifer, and tons more that helped us a lot. 

  

One thing I read this morning was the importance of helping others.  Marion G Romney said that if we were to doublé our fast offerings we would able to doublé our spirituality.  These last few changes I have started to donate more.  I have also been able to see more miracles these last few changes and I find that not to be coincidence. 

  

I’m excited for this next change.  I feel like it might be a more challenging change but Im excited.  "Come what may and love it"

love you guys have a good week

love
