Letter 44: JACOBOOO 🌊 🧒


This week was super fun, but also a total rollercoaster!! Lots of good things but also a few tragic things but we'll start off with the highlights! ✨️ 

1. JACOBO GOT BAPTIZED!!! 🌊 Miracles exist everyone, and I know this because he finally got baptized. It was super good, and he told us that he felt good and happy afterwards even though the water was really cold. Whoops. 😬 But it was awesome! Then he came to church and got confirmed on Sunday and his Mom was super happy and it all worked out! He gave us gifts to remember him and I got some lovely winter accessories, so I'm going to be very well prepared for when winter starts.🧣🧤 

 2. Noche de hogar (FHE) with Josue's family! 🥳 We were invited to dinner at their house and to do a noche de hogar and it was literally so much fun. They're all so cute and they're the most elect family ever. We taught faith and had them act out the story of Nephi breaking his bow and the kids genuinely just did that for like 40 minutes. By the time we left, they were still acting it out and trading parts, and their favorite part to act out was the Liahona. They almost broke the TV with that one, but they had a good time. 

 Tragic things 😪👎: 

1. Isabela was (maybe) going to be baptized next Monday, but we had to postpone. Pray hard for her and her family so that she can get baptized as soon as possible! She's so amazing and is literally already a member at this point, but she just needs the official baptism at this point. 

2. Digna was progressing a ton but she can't quite get baptized yet, even though she really wants to. Also pray for her and her family! 

3. President pretty much shattered my hopes and dreams in interviews of staying in this area with Sister Glauser as my companion next transfer. 💔 Even thinking about leaving this area makes me so sad, so Sister Arce has banned any talk of transfers in the district, bless her heart. Hoping that President is getting the same revelation as me and that I literally never leave. 🤞 

 I loved this quote from Sister Runia's most recent conference talk, "Your Repentance Doesn’t Burden Jesus Christ; It Brightens His Joy". It says, "Jesus Christ gives light to those who sit in darkness. So, on those days when you feel that voice telling you to hide, that you should hide in a dark room all by yourself, I invite you to be brave and believe Christ! Walk over and turn on the Light—our Perfect Brightness of Hope." Always turn to Christ and He'll help us find the light, because He is the light! Christ is the light that shines through whatever darkness we may have in our life. 

That's all for this week! We'll see what next week's email looks like with TRANSFER NEWS!! 🥳🤢 Pray hard for pretty much everyone in Las Vegas cause I think everyone needs it at this point.
