The Lord Works Along the Side of Us

This past week we had three more baptisms which included the Tucto Family as well as a 17 year old named Javier. As always it was an amazing experience watching them enter the water and come out knew and perfect. Seeing how far the Tucto Family has come was such a great feeling of accomplishment. They have overcome family troubles, financial problems, pressure from family members and the list continues. Knowing that I had a part in their spiritual progress and helping them to find the truth, is more satisfying than anything. When Janet Tucto bore her testimony she shared the experience of when Elder Zamora and I knocked on her door and how she knew that we were the answer to her prayer. She talked about how she knows that her family is now on the right path and how she and Freddy both feel that there is meaning to life. Yesterday we were able to ordain both Freddy and Javier to the priesthood as well as two more of our converts. It was definitely a week full of success but it's only because the Lord works along the side of us.
