Hey Everyone!
GOOD NEWS! Jesus is going to be baptized this Saturday! We're
very excited for this and he is so prepared and so ready. And I can't wait to
see all the blessings that will come flooding in and the way his life continues
to change and be better after he recieves the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Not as good news! Isabel isn't. She was sick this past week
and couldn't attend church, and so she doesn't have the attendences necessary
to be baptized and also she's doesn't feel ready yet to be baptized becasue she
hasn't been to church, so her baptismal date has been moved. We're going to try
for next week, but we'll see. It depends on when she feels ready. She'll be
baptized, it's just a matter of exactly what week at this point, But that's
okay. I'm loving watching the way her life and her outlook on things has
changed and when she feels ready, and maybe after watching Jesus be baptized
she'll feel more ready, she will be baptized then.
Gabby's doing well. We had a super powerful lesson with her
this week teaching her the first vision. We've been trying to get to the point
and get to doctrine and concentrate in the doctrine this week more and the way
we're teaching is improving really well as a result. Also, he kids are super
cute. They've been praying for us in their nightly prayers and they call me the
blonde one whose name is in english and they call Hermana Rubio the one whose
name is blonde but isn't blonde. Completely precious. Kids are super awesome
and super receptive to influence of the Holy Ghost, and it's been fun to watch
Hermana Gabby be influenced by the way her children are reacting to the
truth.
Fun things that happened this week - I learned how to make
tortillas de arina this week, which is flour tortillas, and that was really fun
to do. My tortillas looked horrible and I got flour everywhere but it was fun.
We also contacted into a woman who has tiny baby bunnies and who insisted that
we eat breakfast with her, so I got to hold little palm sized fluffy baby
bunnies and then got fed a giant breakfast. And all this because we helped her
sweep up the leaves in front of her house. The people here are amazingly
generous with whatever they have.
The best news this week though is that I found chinese food
in Mexico. Let's goooo. I mean, no this isn't really the best news of the week
but it was pretty awesome, and we ate there today for lunch.
Anywsy, I love you all!
Con mi amor eterno,
Hermana Rawlings
