I hope you are making time to pray together...


I’m sorry if it seems like all I talk about is my investigators but I can’t help but share their progress with you. Zenos baptism went great and he was able to really feel the joy that the Gospel brings. When he bore his testimony he shared the experience that he had when he opened the door and saw us for the first time, but never the less he knew who we were and invited us in. Not only was it a great experience for him but as the members heard his share his testimony they too were able to feel the joy that comes from sharing the Gospel. He is going to be a very strong support for our little Trapiche Branch. The Martinez Family (Raul y Edith) is progressing much faster than we had planned. They are going to get married at the end of the month, if not sooner, and after that BAPTISM. Their little family is also growing closer and much more united and they love sharing with us their testimony of the church. They have begun having family prayer at night as well as teach each one of their kids how to pray.
One of the most special experiences that I have been able to witness here in the mission is seeing a father kneel down with his family and offer a prayer for the first time. There really isn’t anything that gives me the feeling of accomplishment or joy than witnessing that. Raul did just that this past week. Even though life might be running is all kinds of directions, I hope you are making time to pray together. Looking back I might not have been the one calling everyone together to pray, but I’m sure thankful that we made it a habit.
