Our investigator Herly had his baptismal interview on Saturday so this Saturday will be the special day for him, Herly is the greatest, he's hilarious and can be friends with anyone, he already knows a tonnnn of people in the ward. He calls me Miss California cause Bledsoe is super hard to pronounce down here lol. But we're very very excited for his baptism this Saturday.
We finally got to talk to Gabriela's mom this week, Gabriela is super super ready for baptism, she understands it completely and everything BUT her mom still isn't giving her permission:/ We did get to talk to her though and we took a step closer, little by little and with faith we'll get to her, I know it.
Everything is going super well, we teach a fat load of lessons every week so we're very very busy. It's just the little things that we can't control that are holding us back a tiny bit. But I was reading about Abinidi this week while studying and he literally did everything he could to preach the gospel and still things didn't go his way. ONE person heard his message and was able to escape which is amazing. I think it's how the Lord tests us in this life, sometimes we could do everything perfectly with 110% work effort and still things could go the other way.
Learned a ton about that this week. Patience, faith and hard work get things done...if it's God's will!!! So yah good week! Sorry I'm terrible at writing letters blah blah but hey since I didn't send any pictures last week here's Elder Letham and I's photoshoot this morning with the rising sun...Have a good week everyone love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mosiah 4:11-12
11 And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.
