Hi
all you folks back home!
Thank Danielle for the
letter this week!
This week went by
soooo slow and yet it flew by at the same time! It was really interesting!
On Tuesday, it was
Chik-fil-A Day! We dressed up like cows with the zone leaders and got free
food! It was a lot of fun! Everyone else in the zone was really lame and didn't
join in.. Their loss! Haha
Cool story for this
week... There has been a part member family that has been coming to church for
the past few months and we've been trying to meet with them, but they have been
super busy. We stopped by yesterday right after church and started talking to
them. They each have a daughter from a previous marriage and neither of them
have been baptized. We asked them if we could start coming by every week and
teaching the family. The one daughter that was there started nodding her head
and said she really wanted to learn more! Then, the mom said she isn't sure if
she was ever baptized. Sometimes her mom will say that she was and sometimes
she will say she wasn't. So we looked up her information and surprise! She
hasn't been baptized! So now we have a family with three nonmembers that all
want to be baptized really soon! It was an amazing miracle! It was a really big
blessing for us!
We also had a lesson
with Maggie (Antonio's sister). She told us that after Youth Conference she
made the decision to be baptized. She even started crying a little bit when she
was talking about Youth Conference. we asked her if she would be ready to be
baptized on August 16th. She told us that she wanted to be baptized
earlier on August 9th! We're really excited for her! And Antonio, because
he will be able to baptize her!
On Sunday, we confirmed
Antonio and ordained Omar to the Aaronic Priesthood. It was a really great
experience! Both of them are on fire right now! The gospel has blessed both of
them as they've learned about it and started living it. It's cool how it
blesses all of us in different ways. If I hadn't decided to go on a mission, I
definitely wouldn't be who I am right now! Being a missionary has blessed me in
so many ways I would never have thought of!
I love you all so
much! Go out and serve God with all you heart, might, mind, and strength!
Love, Elder Warren

Happy 4th of July!
