Jolene´s Birthday!!! I was really happy because the 8th we had the best baptism of my mission. We were working hard with an investigator named Gladys. When we first arrived here, there was only one progressing investigator left by the sister missionaries in our area. And after working with her and her family, she finally got baptized. She was prepared by God´s hand. The baptism was actullay simple. Even though we had some problems, for example we were going to have a member buy cake but he for got. So... we had to find someone to cook it last minute. (btw it was awesome). We had investigators and less active members there. The spirit was so strong that the investigators were crying. Gladys bore her testimony and some others did too. I then got up and bore my testimony. I had the thought pop into my head to talk about my experience when I was baptized. But before I could finish the first sentence, I began to cry. The spirit was just so sweet as I bore my experience and testimony. I felt like the very angels of God were gathering all around us and just for a moment we were being borne up and comforted from the world. It actually reminds me when an angel that appeared unto Christ to bring comfort when He Atoned for all mankind. It truly was a great experience. And that is not all...
Sunday She was comfirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I had the privilage giving her the confirmation. The words just came into my mind and I felt the truth. By way of the same sweet peaceful feeling of the Spirit of God. And when the blessing was done with and she had recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost. She stood up and turned around to thank all the participated with tears in her eyes.
I know that God will bless her and her family. And that she will help her family come unto Christ and follow her example. I am truly happy.
Well, Today was kind not very fun. We had to travel again to Asunción (6 hour bus ride), so that my companion could sign some immigration papers. We are actually still in Asunción right now. We are waiting for our bus that is going to leave in 30 mins.
I love you all. I hope all is well. I will tell you about changes next week. (yea it´s changes again)
¡Chau! les quiero
