Hola familia y amigos!!
Thanks Danielle,
Maddy, and Tenley for the letters/post cards!
This week has been a
little bit slower, so this email might be a bit shorter!
We got transfer calls on
Saturday! Both Elder Turner and I will be staying in Lasselle! His visa may
come soon, so I'm not sure what will happen with me when it comes! I might be
in a trio with the zone leaders for a little while!
I'll share a few
spiritual experiences from this week. Firstly, Antonio was baptized on
Sunday! It was an awesome experience! There was a huge turnout from the ward.
It was amazing to see everyone come and support him! He went to stake youth
conference last week and had a great time! He invited all the youth in the
stake to his baptism, and a lot of them came! His mom and Sister Tatum brought
a lot of food, so we had a lot of fun afterwards! Secondly, the Garcia family
has invited their friend Alexis to meet with us and take the lessons. She has
been coming to church with them for five years or so, but her parents haven't
let her get baptized before. She had asked them last week and they told her
they would be fine with her meeting us and being taught, so we scheduled a
lesson for yesterday night. Her parents apparently changed their minds... She
was still at dinner with us and we had a short little "lesson" from a
scripture in the Book of Mormon. We read Mosiah 24:9-16. Alma and his people
are under the control of Amulon, who is a pretty wicked man. He starts to put
them to work, forcing them to labor for him. It is a really hard situation the
people are in, so they lift up their voices in prayer. And because of their
faith, patience, and willingness to submit to the trial they were going
through, the Lord eased their burdens and eventually delivered them from
bondage. Afterwards, Alexis texted us and told us that was exactly what she
needed to hear at that time. We invited her to keep praying for her parents to
soften their hearts and allow her to be baptized. Hopefully through our faith,
patience, and humility, we will be able to see this happen!
I am so grateful for
this gospel and the way that it touches the lives of anyone who hears the
message we share and then lives it! We teach a lot of different people, and
somehow the gospel of Jesus Christ blesses each and every one of them! I know
that it has blessed my life. I wouldn't be who I am or where I am if it wasn't
for my Savior. I love you all and pray for you each and every day! Go out and
serve God with all your heart, might, mind, and strength wherever you are!
Love,
Elder Warren
