Hola Mamacita!
This week truly has
been amazing! We had Jesus Ivarra's baptismal interview on Wednesday and he is
ready for baptism this upcoming Saturday. Earlier that day we went to the
Ivarra's home where we helped Hna Ivarra make a bunch of tomales. Ya, you could
say I'm a pro at making tomales now :P The night before the baptism with the
Pardos, we went by their home to have a final lesson about teaching, learning,
and enduring to the end. They are so great, they are going to be such amazing
members, we already have a plan to get them doing baptisms for the dead in the
temple as soon as possible, we're hoping they can get an interview with the
bishop next week or the week after that. What was so sweet is that after the
lesson, they said they had made brownies for us and they also bought ice cream
because they knew that brownies and ice cream were my favorite! Haha I didn't
remember ever saying that, but then they reminded me that we were talking about
food last week and I mentioned it. They are so sweet! Karen, Nathalia,
and Diana Pardo were baptized on Saturday! It was so amazing! Those girls are
so prepared! They love the Lord and they are such a good support for each
other. During Sacrament meeting yesterday, the announcements went on until
about 45 minutes into the meeting because first, the bishop announced that
Jesus was being baptized, second, the three girls received the Holy Ghost, and
third, Jose Ivarra was sustained to receive the aaronic priesthood in the
office of a priest and our bishop announced that he would be baptizing his dad,
Jesus, this weekend. When he said that, there were quite a few gasps in the
congregation. It doesn't happen too often that a son baptizes a father. This is
going to be a baptism that will be remembered. It was such a sweet experience.
We are so thankful for these two families. The Pardo girls' mom, Ana Pardo,
came to church for the first time so that she could see her daughters be
confirmed. She was so happy for them and she wants to be baptized so bad, but
she works every Sunday and hasn't found a different job. Our hearts break for
her because we want her to be baptized as well, but we know that one day the
time will come. I thank the Lord every day for this area because it truly is
magical.
Para Siempre Dios este
con Vos,
Con Amor,
Hermana Twitchell
