I don't think I can describe the amount of joy, the amount of love that I felt from my father in heaven this week. I know this is God's work and I know Jesus Christ lives!
Wow what a week! We ended up having 3 baptisms on Sunday and the process of all of 3 of them was quite incredible...
To start we had Claudio, the man who told us the first vision was like Kung-Fu panda, but ima be honest, bro studied a ton this week and literally had no difficulties in his process. He literally would call US to confirm appointments it was so easy, and bro literally told us all he wanted to do in life was serve and keep the commandments. What a stud
Now eva and owen, their story is quite incredible. Originally their baptismal date was for the 9th, but me and my comp during weekly planning felt very strongly to change it to the 2nd. But she wasn't really answering our texts during the week and we didn't find her until Wednesday, so we find her on Wednesday and she then began to tell us all the difficult things that were happening in her life with her ex-husband, and me and my comp just kind of stood there and listened. Then we did what we felt was right and explained to her the blessings of baptism and how she and owen could get baptized on Sunday and that her problems could be resolved with the holy ghost. And when we said that her face lit up like a Christmas-Tree it was so pure. So we changed their date and they were baptized on Sunday!!!
Joy, is what I feel in the service of God. I want to tell you guys about an experience i had on Sunday that changed my life. I titled this email "Charity" because I was studying and praying for it a ton this week. So basically Sunday morning, all of plans kinda fell into place. We passed by the family that we baptized 2 weeks, picked them up and started walking with them, we then swung by Owen and Eva and picked them up, and as we were walking with them, we saw the Alarcon family, the family we helped reactivate and who's kids we baptized 2 months ago, so we started walking with them too, and right before we got to church we saw Claudio walking to church, who just got baptized, and so just imagine us walking into the church, i kid you not there was like 15 of us. And as we walk into church, we then see Dilan, a PF we have been teaching whos on date for next sunday ALREADY at church with his dad. A smile did not leave my face all morning, and then i heard someone call me by my first name, something i hadnt heard in a long time, and proceeded to see Ryker, a hometown friend, at church. I had never felt more joy in my life in that moment...
That leads me to the moment that changed my life, as I was sitting in church, and listening to the testimonies, I was just looking at everyone at church just filled with joy, and then all of the sudden Valentina, the little girl who was baptized 2 weeks ago, told me she wanted to bare her testimony. So i went up with her and then she got too scaredso i ended up just giving my testimony. But I remember just looking out, seeing all the converts at church, all the people preparing to get baptized, seeing Valentina right beside me just smiling, and just feeling an overwhelming amount of love. Just feeling this charity, the thing i had been praying for all week. And in that moment I remember I was up there and just started tearing up, i was so dumb founded by this love i felt from my father in heaven, not just for me, but the love he has for his children. It really was one of those life changing moments, and i just remembering sitting there eyes filled with tears and thinking "wow god really does love all his children", and it also made me think "wow this really is the most important work on earth, the gathering of Isrel", i wanted to close by saying I know god loves each and every one of you, i know it because I've felt it, i know it because i have seen Charity change my life. Christ's love has changed my life, and to think that there are people out there that have never felt this life makes me so sad, so that is why i am still here, because there are people out there that need this love, that need to experience the pure love of Christ, a love that I know exists and i have felt personally! I love you all so much!!!!
