Hello Pamillya,
This was a pretty good week. We had a Zone Conference on Wednesday.
I received some letters while I was there, one Dear Elder, one from my
back-door neighbor, and one from the Youth Conference (I think...it has something
to do with the young women and a large group of them getting together). Anyway,
I laughed when I read the letter from Brooklyn...it
was so her. Thank you to those who wrote, I love getting emails, but it's not
quite like having a tangible piece of evidence that people exist, and I don't
have to wait until monday
to read them again.
Sister Montemayor and I went to the chapel Saturday to fill the font
for the baptism that day...and someone neglected to tell us that the church had
an alarm....yeah, interesting thirty seconds of a blaring alarm and then a
phone call to the zone leaders to get the code to turn the awkward thing
off...it doesn't help that the chapel is downtown where everyone can here it
going off. We then had to half hand drain the font since no one emptied it from
the last baptism....kind of gross, but then again I can at least brag that I
hand-drained a font for someone (for those who brag they hand-filled a font).
Then the water wouldn't turn on...anywhere on church property...another call to
the ZLs and then three minutes later we had the water going.
The Rodillas sisters got baptized this past Saturday! I'm so happy for
them.
This past week, we started teaching a part member whose
grandparents (she lives with them since her mom works abroad in Singapore)
haven't been to church since thier 35 year old son died, church reminded them
too much of him. I am so grateful for the plan of Salvation that Heavenly
Father has prepared for us.
It brings so much peace to us to know exactly where we go
after this life and how we can get there. I am eternally grateful for the
blessings that comes from the temple, (even though I know that I may not be
able to participate in those blessings while I'm here in the field) I know that
families can be together forever, I know that we can be reunited with those
that we love who have passed on from this life, I know that our Father loves us
so much.
