Hola Familia,
I completely forgot it´s Halloween, but happy Halloween to you too!! =)
What a week!!! haha It was really very crazy, but I've got to try to make this short. Gilbert didn´t get baptized. =( That´s a story I´ll have to give you more information on in the future.... But as it turns out there was no water in the church... again!! Remember how that happened with Esteban and then the sacrament meeting when we had soda instead of water? Well, that seems to be a more and more frequent problem here in Caballito.
Anyway, Gilbert had already had his interview. He even brought his clothes to church because we were going to go to another building to have it. Then right before it was to happen... he chose not to. It seems he took the whole, "not having water thing" as a sign that he should not get baptized.... AHhh!!! Satanás es poderoso pero no tanto como Dios. We told him it was Satan trying to stop him because he was about to do something that God wanted him to do. But he said "Really, because in my other church that didn´t happen when I got baptized"
....Exactly!! haha What can be so obvious to us can be so confusing to others. Satan tried to stop Joseph Smith only when he was about to receive a true answer from God not when he started going to one religion or the other looking for answers that aren´t true. If Joseph had taken that as a sign that he should just go back to one of the other religions, we would not have had the restored gospel!
In the end, Gilbert accepted to pray about another baptismal date for this Saturday. We would´ve and should´ve done it last night, but he had a hip hop thing he wasn´t willing to miss.) Please pray for him. Pray that over the week he can learn and grow rather than fall further and that he can understand why Satan is trying to stop him from getting baptized. He´s such a good kid. I know it was Satan trying to stop him because he´s a 19 year-old kid away from home, looking for answers from his loving Heavenly Father. He´s a future worthy priesthood holder, full-time missionary, and father to lead his family to eternal life!!
Bueno, I hope you all had a great week!! Dallin good job on your talk!!!! :D Love you all,
Love,
Jess
