Never lose sight of how IMPORTANT and TRUE this Gospel is!

Well we took a huge step in getting the entire Cubas Rios Family baptized this past week. We helped them to get married last month and slowly but surely they are also accepting the gospel. We baptized the mother, Flor, along with Flor´s mother Mechi and this week are have a baptismal date with Percy (Flor´s husband) . This family has really come a huge way from the time that we first met them. Remember the story of us finding them through their son who is restricted to his wheel chair, well this is the family. When we met them they had a bar in their house. There bar was very very successful and were always bringing in big music names to come to town and play for the weekend in their bar. Needless to say it was very successful and they were living very comfortable. But over the past month and a half we have worked so hard with them helping them to find the strength and faith to leave the bar and rely on the Lord to provide for them. They have sacrificed so much in terms of worldly treasures but they have come to the realization that what the Lord has in store for them is far better than anything money can buy. They have since left their bar and are now enjoying the blessing of the Gospel. When Flor bore her testimony Saturday night after her baptism, she shared how her family has never suffered so many trials and challenges from leaving the bar but at the same time they have never been happier. It just another great reminder to me that the Lord is in charge of this work and that he merely uses us (19 year-olds) to carry this message to his children. Never lose sight of how IMPORTANT and TRUE this Gospel is!
