The Marin Gonzalez Family

The Marin Gonzalez Family that we baptized about 3 weeks ago had another very special weekend. We completed their family by baptizing their youngest son Marco Antonio who is 18 years old and yesterday Eliseo received the Priesthood and his first calling/assignment in the ward. He is going to be in charge of passing out and collecting the hymn books for the ward. How sweet is that!!! It reminds me of when I had the calling of ringing the bell to change classes. Something simple but still very important. We are getting the two of them ready to receive the Melquisedec (I forgot how to spell it in English so I wrote it in Spanish) Priesthood next month during Stake Conference. This little family is truly something special. I remember hearing about families like the Marin Gonzalez Family before from other missionaries but never did I think I would have the responsibility of helping one find and receive the Gospel. I am so excited for what this Family is going to do for the Church and this great work.
