Week 57 Letter April 14, 2014

Hello Everybody! Family, Friends, whoevers reading this letter. 

Everthing is going great here in Coatzacoalcos. It was a great week. It cooled down a little which was really nice. We actually went to Villahermosa for two days as well. It was a little hotter in Villahermosa but that was okay because we were inside most of the time because of meetings. It was good to get back to Coatzacoalcos though. 

We went to Villahermosa for a conference with our Mission Presindent. It as a great experience. I really enjoy being able to learn from the Lord´s servants. He talked alot about how the Mission is the changing point in our lives and that the things we do here are what take us to salvation. We also read in First Thessalonians 2 the Chapter heading where it says that the glory of the missionaries is the converts. So the people we convert here in the mission are the glory that we will have in the heavens. It is a cool thought and it has been great to look back at the people that I have helped throughout my mision.

Mayra and Freddy are doing great. We are preparing them for there baptismal service on the 26th of April. This week we went by and went over the baptismal interview questions with them. In that lesson they bore many testimonies of the church. They have a very good understanding that it is the Church of Jesus Christ. They have done a lot of things that have suprised us such as plan a Family Home Evening with a ward member this week! It has been very exciting to see their progress so far. 

This week we also set a baptismal date with Anabela. We are preparing her to be baptised on the 26th as well. We had a great lesson with her this week. We taught her about baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. As we taught her how the Holy Ghost talks with us, the Spirit came very strong. The sister that was with us bore her testimony and we then invited her to be baptized. It was a very uplifting experience. Then on Sunday when she came to Church she had a notebook and was taking notes during the classes. I have really enjoyed seeing the change in her until now.

Thanks for all of your support and prayers. I would like you all to know that this Church is true, that this is the Lord´s work, and it has the power to change anyone who enters into it.
