The end is near and there is little time ... ha . Marcos, an investigator that we found a month ago, agreed to be baptized this next Sunday morning before the sacrament meeting! When we met him, we had set his baptismal date for October 24 , thinking that he had problems with alcohol , but suddenly we realized that is 8 years without drinking! he has already come 3 times a chapel and believes everything and loves all of the church. I love him and I'm very excited that he is going to take this step :) Our Branch President has been supporting us so much. He gave an interview with Mark to see how he is with all this, to ask if he thinks that this is the Church of Jesus Christ , and to confirm that he is ready for this step of baptism.
We have been learning a lot this week about the importance of the temple, and keeping the covenants that we make in the holy temple. We have so much to be grateful for. Nowadays we are not expected to sacrifice animals....nowadays we are expected to offer a broken heart and a contrite spirit. we do so by sanctifying our selves for God. Being baptized, going to the temple, being healthy and living the commandments, dedicating our time and talents....all of these things are how we sacrifice ourselves. Romans chapter 12 is a great chapter to read as a family. It talks about how we can make ourselves worthy to dedicate our lives as a sacrifice to the Lord.
I am so thankful that I have had so many opportunities to dedicate my time and talents to serving the Lord. I am thankful that from a young age i have been able to see the examples of many men and women, especially mom and dad, giving of their time and talents to serving the Lord. Mosiah 2:17.
I love you all so much!!!! Remember that we are an eternal family 💞
Love,
Hermana Flake
