August 16, 2017----BAPTISM, GIVING AND RECEIVING COMFORT, CHURCH IS FOR LEARNING AND EDIFICATION, FREE BUS RIDE, CHANGES

BAPTISM
This week was great.  We were able to baptize J. so that was awesome!  He was super pumped.  

GIVING AND RECEIVING COMFORT
The missionaries in the mission are all doing good now, since the passing of Sister Ortega.  We gave blessings to those that needed it and talked or listened or brightened their day of others to keep us all going.  Honestly, I don't know why our mission is so close-knit.  I suppose it could be because of our callings as missionaries, or because we know the truth, or because of the Sprit.  

CHURCH IS FOR LEARNING AND EDIFICATION
Well, right now we are still searching and we are teaching a man who when we taught the word of wisdom he was like, "Yeah, I know that's true."  We are working to get him to recognize the importance of going to church and the people that go aren't perfect.  He was a little irritated or surprised that so any people in the meeting were using their phones and not paying attention.  He said we go to church to learn and be edified and so we explained that everybody is on their different level, spiritually.  So just got to keep going and hope they can understand the importance to pay attention in the classes.  

FREE BUS RIDE
Coolest thing this week was that Hermano S. was able to bless the sacrament and also received a calling to be the secretary in the Young Mens organization.  Super awesome.  He also gave us a free ride on the bus cuz he was the ayudante (assistant).  He is such a great guy and so is his family.  

CHANGES
We had changes and I'm going to be finishing my mission here in Villa Nueva with Elder Griffin.  Sounds like everyone is doing great!
