This Saturday we had the baptism of
Reyna (13) Aylin (11) and Itzel (8), the daughters of Damian and Belen, two
investigators. The Baptismal service turned out super well, and we were afraid
that not many people would come because our ward is so small, but almost every
seat was filled.
My companion Elder Hernandez was
able to baptize the three of them, and I confirmed two of them, the oldest and
the youngest (the bishop confirmed Aylin).
The sad part is that they were
baptized Saturday, confirmed Sunday, and then left Sunday night because they
moved! We spent the majority of the day Sunday helping them move and get
everything ready, and then said goodbye.
Some other members in the ward are
going to go to church with them on Sunday to make sure that the new ward gets
involved. We are super grateful for them.
We will miss this great family! But
we know that they will be ok, and that their parents will soon follow :)
Elder Hernandez is ecstatic,
as it is his first baptism; though the moment is a little bitter-sweet, but we
have faith that out loving Heavenly Father will take care of them.
Now were are anxious to find more
people and invite them to participate in the Restored Gospel of Jesus
Christ!
Take care, and never forget the joy
found in this Gospel!
Elder Redford
