This week has been great!! I apologize if I can't get to your email right now, I am extremely busy rn 🤣
I also apologize if this email is super short.
Monday: Started a super lit exchange and tried NÃsperos at Francisco's house in Badajoz. We walked by a river by his house w/ his dogs and taught him. He is such a great guy.
Tuesday: Had a great exchange and got to teach Jazmin!! Her baptism is on Saturday, and we are so excited for her!!
Wednesday: Pretty good day. Found some people and some members that have been looking for the church here in Cáceres and talked w/ President Nelson about the baptism.
Thursday: Basically just prepared for the baptism of Jazmin this 14th of June, pretty good day.
Friday: Had some super good lessons and had a fun activity with the JAS playing card games. Activites are so good for members and non members.
Saturday: Had a really good lesson w/ Jazmin, AND she passed her baptismal interview!! She's the most ready person ive ever seen for baptism. Shes basically a member just without being baptized. Taught some english, talked with president Nelson about some menos activos and the baptism coming up.
Sunday: Always the best day of every week. I love being able to renew my covenants. Had a wonderful sacrament meeting and then left at 2:30pm to go to Sevilla for talleres today!!
Hoje: As I was thinking about the baptism that we are about to have w/ Jazmin, the Spirit taught me in a way that I never truly comprehended before, how it is not just one baptism, but the start of many faithful generations. She is the first in her family to get baptized, and now one of her little sisters in Argentina has a baptismal date for the end of this month, and there is no doubt in my mind that her other younger sisters and parents will get baptized eventually. There is also no doubt in my mind that Jazmin's faithfulness will lead her to raise many faithful children, which will continue on and on, until the second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. No effort is wasted. We dont see in this life the full extent of our works and influences, but God does. If we give Him our all, them He will give us His all. There is nothing to lose. Ask and it shall be given unto you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. God is ready to unfold His mysteries unto you. He is hastening His work. His work and His glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. His plan is made for you to receive eternal happiness and joy. His plan makes families eternal. His plan allows us to return to Him and our Savior, Jesus Christ. All you have to do is to choose to step on, stay on, or come back to the path. There is no other way or means that man might be saved, other than through Christ, the Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, amén.
I love you all, and am so grateful for each and every one of you.
Os quiero ❤️
