The last week wasn't actually anything too exciting. Oh wait... we
had a baptism!!! Yeah, another one. We have been blessed with a lot of
miracles here in Elche. The ward hasn't had a baptism in over a year and
we just had three baptisms in the last three weeks. Elche is on fire!
All of the prayers and little things the members have been doing are
finally bearing fruit. Another testimony that by small and simple things
are great things brought to pass. To be honest, I don't even remember
if I sent you the photo of the last baptism we had, so I will send you
both. It has been a great miracle and blessing. I actually think that it
is my favorite baptism just because of the great miracle story behind
it. I think I might have told the story before but I will tell it one
more time:
About two transfers ago we visited a less active member named Isaac
Torremocha. He was a really good guy but he was pretty much done with
everything. He was just laying on the couch and didn't really want
anything. In fact, he is only in his 40´s but has already had two heart
attacks. He isn't overweight or anything he just has poor health. Well,
he had pretty much given up and we aren't really sure what we did but
the next week he started coming to church and that itself was a miracle.
A long story short, the two daughters both got baptized this last
Saturday and their mom is on the path to baptism. Their goal is to be
sealed a year after the mom's baptism. It was a great service the last
week. I baptized one of the daughters and one of our recently returned
missionaries baptized the other. Elder Jordan didn't baptize either of
them only because he arrived 3 days before the baptism. Anyways, here
are the photos of the baptism.
Also, this last Friday we had another one of those days called Dia
de Diamante. We were to have no citas and only contact all day in the
streets. As a mission we got more than 2600 futures in one day. All of
this with the goal of having more than 70 baptisms or more in August.
Anyways, the mission is going great. I have to do some traveling ths
week. We are going to Alicante to have interviews with president on
Wednesday and then on Thursday I have to go to Almeria to grab my DNI
card so I can stay here legally for the last three months of the mission
haha. Actually, my old card has been expired since February, so I am
only going to grab this card and have it for a few months but it's
necessary in case the police pull me over for whatever reason. Anyways, I
will take more pictures and we'll talk soon!
Love
