Bautismo!!

This week was great.  Hermana Wilkinson and I worked super hard in the hot hot sun, and were super exhausted at the end of every day. But that is the best feeling.  Yesterday the Guridi family got baptized.  We met the mom (Claudia) through a sister in the ward and she introduced us to her family and they all progressed together and were baptized as a family.  And soon they will be sealed in the temple together for eternity.  It was such a special experience.  

 Jemima (like the pancakes) she was so happy to be getting baptized...and we were happy too!

 The Guridi Family! and the elders in our ward..Elder Winters and Hermano Vilchis 

baptized them. 

Hermana Lovell came for their baptism too :)

This week was great, we had a lot of investigators go to conference and they really enjoyed it, and so did I, but I am excited to hear it in English.  I hope everyone had a great Easter and if you haven't seen the ¨Because He Lives¨ video, go watch it now! :) My companion Hermana Lovell had transfers, and my new companion and I are working super hard.  Here´s the last 2 weeks in pictures...

 Alicia got baptized! I love her so much, and that is the Bishop, he´s great

 Went for ice cream with Vianney and Evelyn

 Hermana Lovell had transfers :(

 Our last district meeting of the cycle...we celebrated with krispy kreme

My new companion Hermana Wilkinson, she is from Oklahoma. We plan on baptizing the whole area this cycle :)

 We visited the Vasilica de Guadalupe a couple weeks ago, this was a shrine to the Virgin Mary

Hermana Lovell saying goodbye to Andy and Evelyn

Carlos got baptized!

Carlos Got baptized after teaching him for 6 months, we met him in October. He 

said he would  never get baptized... never say never :)

He shared his testimony in his baptism and I think everyone teared up.  He said

ever since he met us he would pray every night and thank God for the opportunity 

he had to meet us.  He had a lot of doubts at first and for a long time, but through

fasting and sincere prayer he finally found his answer.  He says he knows without

a shadow of a doubt that this is the true church of Jesus Christ.  I love baptisms

because its almost tangible the feeling of the spirit, that testifies to all that God is well pleased.

  

 Carlos and mostly ysa :) I love this ward, I'm never leaving.  

 my face...

 The Guridi Family, they are a golden investigator family.  We met Claudia, the mom, 

in a zumba class that a sister in our ward teaches (yes, our pres let us go to zumba)

and they have come to church for 2 weeks now and all want to get baptized.  And 

they always feed us yummy food, they are the best :) 

Jemima is my favorite niña

I only have time to send pics, but Evelyn got baptized!!

Another busy week, with lots of meetings and lessons and exchanges haha.  It was good.  Adriano, a little boy who is 8 who´s family were less active that we have been teaching just got baptized on saturday  :).  It has been a week full of miracles.  Two of our investigators who are going to get baptized this month shared their testimonies in sacrament meeting on Sunday, Evelyn who is 16 told about how she knew that the book of Mormon is true and Isabel who is 60 shared how she has been to so many different churches and never found the truth until she came to church with us.  Also, another family who said they weren´t going to be able to come to church, surprised us when they showed up right before sacrament! Im really excited for a lot of our investigators that are progressing a lot and are going to get baptzed this month.  It has been difficult for us in this area for a few months but we have been working really really hard and now we are finally seeing to fruits! 

I know that this is the work of the Lord, that He lives and through faith in Him, miracles happen everyday! 

Have a Great week :)

Love Hermana Young

 Adriano´s baptism

 I think its about time for some new shoes...evidence that we work hard 

 This is Kiev, he is doing a report on mormons for his psychology class, we are his subjects and 

he is going to write a 160 page paper about us :) how cool huh lol

 My sister in the zone...awkward fam foto

 Valeria who is going to be baptized the end of this month, she is soo great :) 

 Evelyn :) 

 this man just comes to all of our missionary activities...we don't really know where he came from 

our zone activity

This week was  great! We have had a lot of work, they removed the elders that were in our ward out, so now we have the whole ward, which is very big. So, a lot of walking.   But its been very fun, I think its the busiest I've been on my whole mission. And sadly Carlos didn't decide to get baptized yesterday, but we are still going to teach him, he´s still going to church and all of the YSA activites.  We fasted with him, and he feels like he didn't receive his answer. We brought the bishop with us to teach him and what the bishop said was just what Carlos needed to hear.  Although he hasn't decided to get baptized yet, I don´t feel too sad because he is progressing a lot and although his steps are small they are steps towards Christ.

And...today we got to see Meet the Mormons!! It´s coming to theaters in mexico in a few weeks, and so they let us see it...not in the movie theaters though. But it was so good, I cried.  I encourage everyone who hasn´t seen it to gooo see it! 

 Have a wonderful week!! 

Love Hermana Young
