All is well in Zion, yea, Zion prospereth, all is well. 2 Nephi 28:21
Just
kidding, haha, but all is well here!! Had a pretty great birthday!! We
spent like three hours in the clerks office fixing the ward list, and we
only got to the names that start with the letter D. So, we have a lot of
work still left to go!! Plus, one family made me a Birthday cake!! and
another made us pancakes!! It was super awesome!! It was great to spend
my Birthday here!! I wasn't able to get my package yet, because it takes a process to get it here, when the Zone Leaders go to Pachuca they will
probably pick up my package. Then they will wait until our district
leader or we go and pick it up from them. They live like 2 hours
away from us, and like 2 more hours away from Pachuca so... haha.
This
week was pretty good!! We had two baptisms and it was a blast!! I got
to baptize them, it was such a great experience, the great thing is that
I will still be here in the mission when they will be able to enter in
the temple, so that will be great!! I love doing this work!! It takes a
lot of work but the blessings that come with it are eternal!! I love
serving the Lord!! (This was an extra special baptism, because missionaries in his mission are only allowed one baptism for the duration of their mission and Jordan chose this one. It will be especially neat if he is able to see them be sealed together in the temple)
We are hoping to have another baptism this week!! It
is a family of a less active husband and his nonmember wife, we are
hoping that he will be ready so that he can be able to baptize his
wife!! It will be so great!! They are a super cool family and super
friendly and nice. About every time that we go to visit them, they make
us dinner!! haha, its great!! I love it!! I'm so glad I am her in Mexico
serving in the greatest mission in the whole world!!!
Yes, we
heard about Hermana Laguna a few months ago, we have been praying and
fasting a lot for her. I never had the chance to meet her here, but we
know that no matter what happens the Lord will continue to bless her and
her family for her service that she did here!!
Well, I love you tons mom and hope you have a great week!!! Love you!!
