This week we had 3 baptisms, Margarita Morales, Geovani Salazar and Carlos Cano all got baptized in this week. I don't have a picture of the baptism of Margarita but I had the privelege of baptizing her and it was an awesome day. after 3 months of working with her we finally got her to the point of baptism. She was just a name we found in our Area Book and felt that we should go visit her along with a few others and the Lord had prepared her to where she was ready to accept and be baptized.
Geovani Salazar was a man who was kicked out by his wife and sent to live with his Grandma because of some addictions and other problems that they were having. He made some huge changes in his life and was ready for baptism this week! And did it which was the most important. And then right after the Bishop took him aside and interviewed him to receive the priesthood and next week he will be confirmed and ordained as a priest. What a change in this man's life.
As for Carlos he was a kid who was ready for a long time, but his mom finally gave permission and he was baptized. His Aunt attended the baptism as well and she wanted to be baptized as well. She has gone 2 Sundays with Carlos and his mom and she loves the church. Carlos's example helped her come to the true gospel as well.
One of the best parts about Sunday for me was the fact that Yesenia, one of the ladies I baptized her gave a talk in church about Faith. We helped her just a tiny bit during the week, but her bravery was one of a kind when she with only 3 almost 4 months of being a member got up and bore her testimony on faith in front of 350 members. That was certainly a testimony strengthener for me. All in all it was a good week and I can't wait for this one, there should be just as many miracles! Have a great week! Love you all,
Elder Daybell
