Week 38: Come to Christ

Hey fam!!!! my computer wasn´t working for 30 minutes of my time, so this week is a short one, but I do love you, i promise, haha. seriously. I love yall.

This week flew by, as does almost every single week. The days are like weeks and the weeks are like days, seriously. I am so glad that you are better and are back in Costa Rica. We pray for you every single day, so that you can keep leading us and helping us to bring people to Christ.

We are preparing Grettel to be baptized this Saturday. She hasn´t been sure about her baptismal date for weeks now, and she kept on saying that she wants to be sure and more prepared, but we´ve explained and shared our testimonies of how we don´t have to know everything there is to know about the gospel, because we will never know, but that what matters is if we will be humble enough to obey the Lord and follow the promptings of the Spirit, and we will be guided to know what we need to do in our lives. She has been progressing extremely well, and we´ve taught her all the lessons she needs to be baptized, but this Sunday she finally said yes to being baptized this Saturday. It´s been her date all along, but she always told us that she still didn´t feel ready or prepared. But sunday, our mission leader asked us if he could tell the bishop to announce her baptism. So we asked her and she said yes! Finally. I know that she is ready to make this covenant with our Heavenly Father to keep and obey His commandments. We are very excited for her.

I know that when we do our part, the Lord does the rest (really it´s the Lord doing everything, but he allows us the opportunity to be a part of bringing our brothers and sisters to the truth), and the miracles happen every single day, we just have to know how to recognize them. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a representative of Jesus Christ and to testify of the restored gospel to the people here in Coronado. I know that whatever happens, I can choose to be happy and that even though I cannot control the actions or will of others, that I can mold myself into who the Lord wants me to be. I want to continue to strive to be a better servant of the Lord and to develop the attributes that Christ showed us we need to have.

Con mucho amor,
