Miedo de Agua

Hola Familia! Como estan?!

Life out here in the MMM is moving forward with great speed. Something I love about the Savior is that even though he was the busiest man alive he still made time for every person in his path. He truly is our greatest example!

So this week we got some answers about Jose and Victor! We were able to meet with Victor and find out he really is just going through a tough time of his life. He is having a lot of the adversary thrown his way and so that has been having an affect on his decisions and thoughts. He was able to get an amazing priesthood blessing this week and he came to our Easter devotional yesterday. So not all hope is lost there, it never was :) Its just going to take him some time and lots and lots of faith to move forward. 

When we were on exchanges this week Sister Smith and Roberts saw Jose at his apartment in the elevator again! He was all nice and apologized and they set up a time to come back for the next day. We were able to bring two members with us who both have gone through almost exactly the same trails he is going through. The lesson was very powerful and he came to church yesterday!!!!!!!!!! He had such a great time at church and all of the prayers paid off!!!! :):) So it was very cute because he apologized to me and told me why he did what he did. So like you know he has lots of health issues and he thinks that because of his treatments he has been getting when he goes into the waters of baptism literally that he will contaminate the water and get the other person baptizing him sick. We were relived to hear that and its a good thing his doctor is LDS and in our stake we can just call him up and get the best advice! So exciting for Jose. We also found out he has a son who lives here that was baptized into the church 15 years ago. 

President and Sister Forbes came out teaching with us this week after our zone training to Bertha and Claudia! It was such a great lesson and we really go to know there needs more. Bertha committed to living the word of wisdom! :) It is such a blessing to be apart of her teaching at this time. And pres and sis Forbes are just awesome and always have the right thing to say. Bertha didn't come to church yesterday because she is terrified of the snow and cold and it snowed all day long! We are now really praying with a purpose for better weather. hahaha. 

I am so grateful for this time of year to focus more on the savior and the atonement. I think Easter season always comes and goes so fast so this year I am really trying to make the most of it every day and really focus on what it means to me! I encourage you all to do the same and focus your studies around the atonement of the Savior!

I love you all. There is no greater news than that of the risen Savior our Lord and Redeemer. This I know is true.

Make it a great week :)
