How is everyone doing?!
I
about died when I got the e-mail about Giselle's call!!!!!! New York
Rochester mission!!!!! That is just SO amazing!!! Me and my comp have
talked about how amazing it is going to be to be able to teach about the
Restoration being at the actual sites where a lot of it took place.
Giselle is going to be so amazing!!!!
As
for this week in Bell, things have been wonderful!!! Miguel "Angel"
investigator got baptized yesterday!!! Prepping him that week was a bit
stressful but as always the Lord provides a way and he was able to be
baptized!!! The baptismal service turned out perfectly and Miguel loved
it. Although none of his family could be at the service he told us his
favorite part about the baptism was the love and support he felt from
the ward. I love the Bell Gardens ward!
This
week we also had exchanges with two companionships of our sisters and I
was with Sister Shupe and then later in the week I was with Sister
Duncan they were fun and I learned a lot from them :)
The
heat has been pretty bad but that hasn't stopped any work from moving
forward! Its funny as we were preparing for Miguel's baptism this past
Sunday we had scheduled his baptismal interview on Thursday night and so
we went to meet him at his apartment with a member ride to take him to
the interview. When we got there Miguel was in the parking lot helping
his friend fix his car and we were telling him it was already time to go
but he kept telling us "5 minutos mas" "5 minutos mas" until it had hit
45 minutes late that we had to be at his interview. We kept rushing him
but then he told us the story of when he was back in Mexico he used to
work with driving trucks and sometimes they would have group deliveries
and how if one of the trucks broke down that they would always stop and
help him. They never left anyone behind and so once he said that, Sister
Vincent and I sat and waited patiently haha because we felt bad for
rushing him hahaha. He finally finished, fixed his friend's car and he
made it to his interview and passed!!!! The Lord always makes it
possible!!!!
Welp
the highlight of this week was Miguel's baptism! We're working with a
few other people and we're excited to continue seeing them progress in
the gospel!!!! Love you all so much!!!! Don't forget to count your
tender mercies!!!!
Love,
Hermana Abreu
