Amada Familia Keele,
Yahoo!! Justine was finally baptized yesterday! Although we ran
through some bumps along the way, she ended up getting baptized anyways.
Meaning that during the second hour we realized that the baptismal font
wasn´t filling up because the church ran out of water... so we tried to
hurry and find a place where she could quickly be baptized. We checked
with the local pool place at what would be the recreation center here,
and they were willing to have us do it there! (I kind of had to guilt
trip them though saying that if this person wasn´t baptized she wouldn´t
be able to come unto Christ ha ha). But as it turns out that wasn´t
necessary because the font at the stake center was already full cause
the elders there had a baptism too that morning. So we just all went
over there (like a 10 minute drive... not too bad). It was a great
service.
We´re praying and working hard for another miracle baptism to
happen this week. Joel and his grandma Magdalena are on the verge of
deciding to do it on Wednesday. They just need a little push and it´ll
happen. It truly is a great joy to work with them!
Ha ha I´m sure Louene and Angela both are happy it was a girl! Ha ha funny funny
I love that phrase "Converted to the Lord". When I first read that
about 6 months ago it really stood out to me. Like you said, it´s not
enough to be converted to the church, but to the Lord. After that it
repeats that phrase many times in the Book of Mormon, but not once does
it say converted to the church. That would make a great talk topic.
Today I had the opportunity to meet up with Elders Castillo and
Falslev (my best friends from the MTC, Elder Castillo was my companion
for a time up in Molango), and we went to visit the pyramids in
Teotihuacán for the last time. We were fortunate enough to buy a few
little gifts and souveniers, so all my worrying about that is done.
Elder Castillo and I were told that the Beltran family should be
entering the temple this Saturday. Also I got in contact with José
Contreras, (the one who called you about a year ago :) ), and he´s
apparently preparing for the temple as well. I hope he can before I
leave, but either way I´m super happy for him.
Thanks to everyone for everything. Every prayer in my behalf is
truly appreciated and is a strong motivation for me knowing that so many
are caring for me from so far away. Have a great week!
Love,
