Hey everybody!
We had a baptism last Saturday, plus a wedding, and it was pretty awesome. Elpidio has been going to church for over a year, and has been with Yolanda for over twenty years, and they finally got married and he was able to be baptized. He has waited a long time for that.
This weekend, we're baptizing Justin. He has been amazing to teach. Mom, he used to be Jehova's Witness--that made me think of you. Didn't you teach an ex-Jehova's Witness? It's a weird thing to connect on, but you're right--he is definitely going to be devoted to it. Teaching him was probably to most involved and spiritual experiences I have had yet.
Then we have one of my recent converts from when we first came to this area is getting married to the girlfriend who helped him join the church. That's next Saturday, and we're invited. :D I'm stoked.
Then the Saturday after that, the husband of another recent convert--Diana--is getting baptized. It's crazy. I think Heavenly Father is doing His best to keep me focused to the end. We've got a lot of changes going on around here too--we're muddling through it as best we can.
Once again, I'm going to tell you what I know--this Gospel is from Jesus Christ. What I teach and what we live are the necessary steps to being with our Father in Heaven for eternity. Everyone will have the chance to learn about it and accept it, or not. But there is hope in that. We are not perfect, but we have the tools to become the best of what we are.
I love you all, and I may or may not be counting down the days to when I will see you again. (I don't actually have to. One of the Elders is doing it for me. 20 days.)
Sincerely yours,
Hna. Crowley
