36: Pon Tu Hombro A La Lid, ADALID

This past Saturday was the baptism of Adalid! It was a perfect day, he got to the chapel an hour early with his family and was more than prepared. We had the service, a cake for his birthday, and a ton of members come! We even sang the hymn "Pon to hombro a la lid" because when we visited him a few nights before the bishop said it was his hymn because it sounds like his name. The next day he was confirmed in church and bore his testimony in front of everyone. This man has my heart, he was truly prepared and chosen for this moment.

We are still teaching the family of our ward mission leader, la familia Tercero, and the mom, dad, and son have baptism dates for next week! The parents keep saying "we feel this desire to follow our son, because he is so faithful and committed to his faith". They are incredible, we are hoping everything goes well so that their son Dennis can baptize them this next weekend.

Tiffany and Alison are some of the students from where we taught english classes. They are prepared, they have been searching for a church to join for some time, and they truly have real intent. We have focused so much in the book of mormon and mighty prayer and that has helped them understand why this gospel is different and so important. They both have baptism dates for the 25th.

Jaycee is facing opposition, opposition is the worst! Some of her family members are saying bad things about the church and discouraging her from being baptized. This week I made her a specific promise, that if she would prepare herself to for church thi week by praying in faith and reading the book of mormon every day that she would feel the confirmation that this is the correct path for her, no matter what her family says. Right now she has a baptism date for the 25.

Especially these past few weeks Hermana Wengert and I put a lot of emphasis on not having fears and being BOLD. Bold contacting, bold teachings, bold invitations, bold promises. I studied about fear a lot this week and I have come to the conclusion that this is the most fearless I have been in my whole life. Its almost a challenge for me now, if theres a bolder, faster, more fearless way to do something, I do it. Nothing can stop me!

We had changes this week and Hermana Wengert went to Graneros in Choluteca :( I love that sister so much. We changed each other, and I am a different missionary and person because of her. After we had our final medical presentation this monday we said our goodbyes and traded companions. She is in good hands though, she is with my MOM HERMANA ORDOÑEZ!

And my new companion is Hermana Gonzalez from Las Vegas! She is an awesome missionary and so so sweet. I am very excited for these next few changes.

Hasta el fin.
