So
the two baptisms we had planned went through! And they both showed up
the next day to get the gift of the holy ghost and to receive the
priesthood, I might have the chance to come back in a year and see Pablo
and his wife get sealed in the temple! That would be an awesome
experience! But another cool thing is that my companion told me that
after the baptism Pablo was talking to the bishop and told him that he
was gonna get a new job because he didn't like how his current job
didn't let him come to church sometimes. Just hearing things second hand
like that makes me so happy and shows that we kind of did our job as
missionaries helping the people be converted before getting baptized.
So
we have this awesome family that we are teaching, but only the two
little girls have been going to church, they told us that they tried to
wake up their brother to go to church with them and he said that he's
not gonna go to church until his dad goes to church. The only that's
stopping the whole family from getting baptized is the dad exercising a
little faith and going to church with his kids. If he goes, I'm sure his
whole family would go too. It really taught me about the influence
parents have on their kids, although he's a great dad and always reads,
if he doesn't go to church, his son and his wife aren't gonna go. It
really shows how far teaching by example goes.
