The Flores Family is baptized!! It was a perfect baptism. When
Nanay Eufemia came up out of the water she cried and said "Oh thank you
Lord" it filled my heart. Allen cried when
she shared her testimony and
she said she knew they had found the right path to get back to the
kingdom of God. We had the baptism right after General Conference so a
lot of members were able to attend and the spirit was strong. President
Sumagpao came too and since La Carlota is a district not a stake he was
able to preside which was special to me.
General
Conference was wonderful. I like what Elder Oaks told us to do- Teach
Doctrine, Keep the commandments, Love one another, and GO to the Temple!
I also loved the focus on having Joy and that we don't need to be
perfect we just need to intentionally try really hard! I also cried
every time they talked about the youth. I felt so much Heavenly Father's
trust in them. When Prophet Nelson was talking I just remembered all
the young prophets and how much Heaven trusted in and helped them-
Mormon, Samuel, Joseph Smith, etc.. I'm so proud of the youth. I wish I
was a better youth but I just hope they know their potential to do good
and to build up the kingdom of God.
Also this
week April's son Jhaeden turned one and we had lunch with them and
Jhaeden got to eat lots of cake it was a ball. I'll miss them so very
much.
It's my last week here in the mission
field. This is still my motto- not just until I take off my tag but
until the very very end. “The Standard of Truth has been erected; no
unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; … the truth of God
will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated
every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded
in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the
Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.”
See you all next week for one last email :D
Love you all
