Wedding Season

Buenas tardes a todos!! Cómo están? Espero que todo esté bien con ustedes.
This week was awesome! We got to do a lot of service which was fun because it was for a wedding!!! The elder's investigator had to get married before he could be baptized, so we made sure we got to help put together everything so we could be a part of it too! It was a whole lot of fun and they were so happy! :) It made us really happy too. And everything was really pretty. Plus, we had a taquero come and dang it I love tacos. So yummy.

Then the next day was his baptism!!! That was awesome. A lot of his non member family came and so did one of our investigators, which was sweet! Then we were given the opportunity to teach the message of the restoration in the time when he was changing (though we were only told we'd be doing that like 2 minutes before the baptism started. Thanks elders). But it turned out really well actually! For one, the Spirit was so strong. I don't remember much of what we said, but I remember feeling the Spirit working through us--and side note from the future, a few months after this 2 of the family members there were baptized! It was really neat because a lot of the nonmember family actually mentioned to us how they loved how they felt and everything :) it was a great experience for all of us. AND a lot of them told us our Spanish sounded basically perfect too!! That's like, lo mejor compliment EVER.

More service included teaching a menos activo how to do math! You would not even believe how impossibly difficult it is to explain how to multiply and divide fractions in Spanish. Quite the challenge. B ut she figured out how to do it by the time we left!! And she gave us like 3 boxes of cereal :) haha. Our members, even the less active ones, take good care of us ;) pero de verdad, I feel like these people are mi familia, that they love me, and that I belong here. I think that's one of the miracles of the Gospel :) that no matter where you are, what you're doing, who you are, whatever--you can feel at home because of the Gospel. It's cool stuff :)
