Hola mi familia!!!!!

Comó están? todo bien? Todo fino? Espero que si!

This week was super interesting. So we have been struggling to get this coupled married. Noel and Rosemary, but we have been working our butts off to get everything organized for their marriage and their baptism, and this Saturday they are getting married and baptized the same day!!! How is that for crazy? Who would have thought that I would play a part in this eternal family, helping to make this covenant with the Lord. It is so crazy to me. They are 18 and 19 years old, but have two adorable little kids. They are the cutest things ever, and words can't describe how happy I felt to help them make these steps and to know that these kids are going to get to have the chance to grow up in the gospel and that hopefully a year from Saturday they will be able to go to the temple to be sealed for time and eternity. I am so stoked for them. My companion and I will be baptizing them this Saturday!!!!!!!!!




Other than them, we have been working our butts off trying to find the people who are prepared and want to listen to us. Our area is HUGE, and so when we have a day where we don't know what to do, we usually go and explore our area and find some people to teach. One day when we were doing this, something crazy happened. The dude who cleans our clothes was out where we were. We were over in Sol Naciente, which is literally like the middle of nowhere, it is this place where everything is dirt and sand, and pretty far from where we live, but it is our area still. We ran into the guy who cleans our clothes and he said that he has a reference for the missionaries but didn't know whose area Sol Naciente belonged too. It was crazy! But hopefully we can meet the family and have him introduce us and maybe we can work with them!

We got to go to the temple in Trujillo today!!!!!!  I will say, this temple has been my favorite so far. It is SOOOO stinking pretty. I bought a hymnal in English because I wanted to remember the songs in English, as well as Spanish, and also to help my companion learn English. But the temple was sooooooooo beautiful and the spirit there was so strong when so many missionaries were there. I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE SO MUCH. I wish we could go more often, but we only get to go every 6 months. So I had to make this one worth it.




I hope everything is going good with you guys! I love the gospel so much. We have the greatest gift and the most important information of all time. I am so honored to be the lords mensajero aqui en su obra. Vida es hermosa, I love you guys!

Also, I have a couple hats that I have been wearing as we go outside because the sun kills me, however I don't know if the stares are at the hat or because I am white.  Maybe it is just because I'm incredibly good looking.

  2. Elder McGreer, I remember also helping couples get married and then baptized. The missionaries in our zone would have to pool our money together to pay for the marriage ceremony. How sweet that you are bringing together this Young couple. They will be able to grow in the gospel together. What a difference you are making!
