Hello my wonderful family!!!!!!

This week had a lot of highlights.

Liliana's Baptism

So special!!!! She was so excited! Everything went really well and Hna Price and I sang a the primary song about baptism (i like to look for rainbows) half in Spanish and half in English. When she was baptized and the member that baptized her said the baptism prayer, I felt the spirit so strong and so special and I knew that the presence of the priesthood was there! The spirit testified to me in this moment that the Priesthood has been restored and that she had made a promise with Heavenly Father!

English Class

This week Hna Price started teaching English classes in the church, Every friday at 7 pm! It was lots of fun and there was a little family that came that weren't members and a another family and a few other members. 

No light

We came home from the baptism to find that our house didn't have electricity. We were wondering what happened and we went outside to look at something and asked our neighbor if he had power and he said they started a new payment method and they probably shut it off because we hadn't paid!

That night we ate a little dinner and planned for the next day with some lanterns we made out of our flashlights and cups haha. We didn't have power for our fans so we opened all the windows and it wasn't that bad. 

We called the guy we rent the house from and the next day he figured it out for us.

Forever Families!!!!!

On Saturday we had some appointments fall through and some references weren't home so we were kind of just walking wondering what to do and we saw a woman walking down the street so we decided to go talk to her. She let us into her house and we taught a little lesson about the trinity, the Atonement, and baptism to her and her 2 daughters. The spirit was so strong and they accepted a baptismal date and came to church with us the next day! They are a really special family.

Our huge ward

Our ward, Caucel, is a huge ward, and basically all young families, so yesterday there were 4 baby blessings!!!!! haha. Also the confirmation of Liliana, and there was just 5 minutes left for the bishopric to share their testimonies about 1 minute each. 

I love being a missionary and I have never felt so good in my life! I also love my companion and I hope neither of us get transferred :( I will let you know next week what will become of me!

I love you all tons, and start saving up for a few trips back to visit all the family I am making in Mexico!

Hello my wonderful family!!!

This week we worked really hard and we are really excited because this Friday Liliana will be baptized!! She is so ready and so excited. On Sunday she came to church and she came up to us and said she had brought 10 pesos to pay tithing and asked us to help her fill out the envelope!! She is really great.

This week I taught Sunday school and it was fun. We have a Gospel Principles class for investigators and recent converts and after sacrament meeting I went to go ask one of the members if the teacher had come, and he said No, but will you give the class? So I did and it was good.

This week had some really hot days! We left to go visit someone at 10 am and it was already 100 degrees! But we also had some super rainy days.

The thing about the rain here, whenenver it rains, it pretty much cancels any activity that we have planned, such as a Family Night, and only a couple people came, but it was still ok.

This Sunday we got a ride home with the Family Martinez in their huge truck... and so did half the ward haha We fit about 20 people in that thing. They are a really special family to us and sometimes we eat cactus with them :)

The other elders in our ward had a baptism and I played the piano and it was great. I love playing the piano for different things because I miss playing it whenever I want. 

Well this was a great week! I dont want to leave this area, I have really grown to love it and all the people. I know that the Lord will need me in other places but I will always have a little Caucel in my heart. In 2 weeks there are cambios so well see what happens!

Pics next week! :)

Have the most wonderful week!
