Asado and a Baptism!

(Fonzy's first homemade Asado and he's wearing his Lionel Messi jersey that we sent him to celebrate the World Cup)

So last week was a little bit slower with the conferences and being sick, and I remember that when I was writing the email that I said that I hope that this next week is a little more eventful....... yeah, I should not have said that. It was an interesting week with two intercambios and a lot of things that we needed to do to prepare for the Baptism of Marcos Garcia. Marcos Garcia is evidence that god is preparing people to receive the restored gospel. Marcos is the son of Elena Garcia who is a member that I had never met. A few weeks ago, she walked into the chapel and said "Hi missionaries, my name is Elena Garcia, this is my son Marcos. He is ten and wants to get baptized. When can you pass by our house?" We just stood there with our mouths open. We went to his house and worked with him to teach him all the lessons and he got baptized this week. I had my testimony strengthened a lot this week because of this experience.

This week on Sunday President and Sister Gifford will start their mission and we are excited to see what will change and what will stay the same. President Nuñez was an Awesome President and President Gifford will be just as Awesome. They both were called by God to guide us crazy missionaries.

I don’t have a lot of time but, I love the church, I love the Gospel. I know God lives, and although more and more people are stopping believing in God I know that he is our loving Heavenly Father and he is always there to listen. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I love you all!
