SO THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME.  We had five baptisms!!!!  We baptized a whole family!  A mom with her three kids!!!!  Hermana Gheraldyne, D´Alessandro, Mauricio, and Anny.  It was such a beautiful sight to see, especially since they have had so many difficult challenges and problems, that they put their trust in God and were able to make the sacred covenant with our Heavenly Father.  Also we baptized a young women Eliana, who did not want to get baptized at all.  Other missionaries were super forceful with her and basically told her if she didn't get baptized, that she didn't love Jesus and her condemnation was greater or something like that. I don't really know, but I just told her what I felt and knew, and shared my testimony and out of nowhere while I was talking she said she wanted to get baptized!!!  And we said Sunday and she said yeah!  It was so crazy, but such a powerful week to see these children of our Heavenly Father come unto Christ.

While I was meditating this week I had lots of thoughts and feelings come to me.  Lots of matters personales. A scripture that spoke to my soul that hit me deep is found in Alma 26:12;
Sí, yo sé que nada soy; en cuanto a mi fuerza, soy débil; por tanto, no me jactaré de mí mismo, sino que me gloriaré en mi Dios, porque con su fuerza puedo hacer todas las cosas; sí, he aquí que hemos obrado muchos grandes milagros en esta tierra, por los cuales alabaremos su nombre para siempre jamás. 

Sorry I don´t have it in English and I read it in Spanish anyways. I was sitting in fast and testimony meeting, and while I was pondering my mind went to the scripture where Ammon was rejoicing in the repentance of thousands. I read this scripture and I was filled with the spirit. I know it is true, because I am nothing.  In my strength, I am weak. I won´t boast of myself, because I have nothing to boast about, but I know that this is the work of God. That this is His work, and I will praise my Lord my God all the day long.  For His amazing grace, that saves a wretched soul as mine and many others. I am so grateful for the  blessings that I have, and these amazing people that I got to know and help just a little bit. That gracias to this gospel, I can move forward and even though I make many mistakes, that He is with me every step of the way.

I love the gospel!
