This week has been crazy! VERY GOOD, lots of blessings...a few challenges...but lots of blessings.Adonis, Cecely, and Nicole were baptized Saturday! There was a great turnout at their baptism and a beautiful spirit was felt. The branch president from Farmington came to baptize Adonis. Many members and missionaries have spent several years working with this family and the fact that so many came to celebrate their choice to get baptized made the day all the more wonderful. We helped their family move. Their mother is amazing! She is a mother of 6 and works very, very hard to provide for her family. They are good, good people.
Cynthia and Noe are doing great. They had a friend over for Family Home Evening. They are great missionaries! We used an object lesson to teach them about the blessings that are given to those who receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Caleb, their youngest child finally decided to get baptized! Before we started our lesson Caleb explained why he wouldn't get baptized with his family. It was because a super cool movie was coming out that day. After the lesson he changed his mind and said, "OK, I’ll get baptized!" On Sunday, their family had an Easter get-together at their home with some members. They had a lot of food. It's great to see how many friendships they're making.
We went to the temple yesterday. It was a wonderful spiritually recharging experience. I saw some former companions which was awesome.We are madly trying to put together the branch missionary activity which is....wow...meh... very last minute and thrown together, but we think it will end up going well. We have a long todo (translation: everything) list on a daily basis. I feel like just when we have checked 3 things off our list, we have 10 more things we have to add to our list....that’s life right? :)
THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH FOR THE EASTER PACKAGE!!!!! The candy is very yummy. My companion and I have been snacking on it since it came. Sister Rios was happy to receive that note from you and the candy too. Thanks again! I love you all a lot. You are in my prayers frequently! If you haven't seen it already, there is a beautiful Easter movie on lds.org or mormon.org that shows clips from the bible movies. It's super short and very beautiful. I KNOW that Jesus Christ lives and that he is our Savior. He broke the bands of death, he is our advocate, he is very aware of us and like our Father in Heaven loves us very much.
I Love you family,
Hermana Perez
Monica moved to Pennsylvania yesterday. :( She promised us that she will be baptized. Remind me to tell you her story, it's cool.
