Franklin at his Baptism!!!

A funeral with people carrying the casket to a Church
Well
this has been another fantastic week here in El Milagro. This week we had the
grand privilege of helping Franklin Villa get baptised. We had a nice baptismal
service for him this Saturday with a few members and some of his friends from
the ward. He is awesome and so much fun. Being the mean people that we are we
had him convinced that in order to be baptised he would have to hold his breath
for 5 minutes under the water 😏😰 It was pretty funny
when he realized it took about a whole 2 seconds to be immersed in the water.
To get back at me for our little prank, as I was saying his name to perform the
ordinance he tried to distract me by saying his name at the same time and
correcting me. Well sure enough I got a little distracted and had to repeat his
full name about 5 times... 😁. It was a pretty
funny situation but atleast I was glad that he was excited and was enjoying his
baptism and covenant he was making with our Heavenly Father.
This
week we have also been teaching the sister of Gloria Rodriguez named Yolanda.
She lives with Gloria and she has had so many missionaries in her life and in
her house but because of her work she was never previously able to listen to
the missionaries or attend church. Well that all changed this week because she
recently changed work, began listening to us, and attended church for the first
time yesterday! It is awesome. She also accepted a baptismal date and shared
with us a dream she had. Her sister is a member of the church and her father
was also before he passed away. She recently had a dream where she was talking
with her father and he said, "Well Yolanda... your sister and I are
baptized now but I am still waiting for you".To be completely honest I am
not a big believer in dreams because most of the time they are pretty random,
but for Yolanda this was an obvious
answer that she should be baptised so that she can enjoy the blessings of
eternity with her family forever after this life. It truly is a wonderful
privilege and opportunity we have here to live with our families for eternity.
Well
this has been an awesome week here in El Milagro. Shoutout to my little brother
Stewart and the Mercer Island lacrosse team for making it to the state
championship. Next year you will get it. Also shoutout to Tucker and Caitlin
who are going to get married in just about 12 days... aaaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Until
next week.
Love,
