Hey fam!!!
well as you all know that i am a big fan for march madness. this year though its not around college basketball. It is around the Lords work here in our area, district, and zone. This last saturday Rosa in Obrero (other area in our district) was baptized and in the zone, 2 others were baptized as well!!! In our area we are planning to have two baptisms on the 14th. They are Toribo and Enzo. I belive that i have talked to you guys about Toribio. We asked him how he knows that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. His exact words were "Through the Book of Mormon." it was so amazing. It just shows how truly reading and praying we come to know the truthfulness of all things. Enzo is just a straight up miracle. We were teaching him before, but unfortunately he went to Ciudad del Este for a little bit to be with his mom during summer break. He came back and we went by to visit him again. We verified things to see how he is doing and such and he said to us "by chance do you guys have an extra Book of Mormon. My mom really liked it so i gave it to her and i would really love to have one." of course we gave him one. we then were talking about his interest and we read a scripture in 3 Nephi 11 on baptism. After we read it we asked him what he felt and what he thought about the scripture. His response was "Are you guys having any baptisms in the next few weeks?" we told him on the 24th, his response "i would really like to be baptized on that day." WHAT A MIRACLE!!!! just shows how the sheep know the Shepard's (sc) voice and how he prepares them to receive the gospel. They both came to church this sunday and have baptismal dates for the 14th.
so I'm sorry that this is going to be a short email next week I'm writing you on tuesday because were going to the temple so our pday got switched.
Last friday was march 2nd when i completed one year on the mission. the celebration was ordering a pizza and eating it after planning and it was delightful. It is really amazing how fast things have past. Just looking back on the last year i have grown so much and i have seen the Lords hand more and more in my life. I believe the greatest thing that i have obtained in the last year on my mission has been my love for the gospel, for the Book of Mormon, my understanding of the gospel, and most importantly the relationship that i have gained with my Father in Heaven and the love that i have grown in for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his eternal gospel. This next year I'm going to give more do more and give all that i can to help the Lords work move forward. I love this work. It is His work and Glory. The scriptures are so amazing I love them.
Thanks for all that you do i love you all and pray for you daily
