I am starting to think that every week that we have a baptism we tend to have a pretty rough week! But now I´m taking it more in stride now and doing as Ammon did. The sheep are scattered and the king will kill us if we don´t bring them back so let´s go find some sheep! I love his example of when in hard times smile and prove yourself in doing something about your misfortune. So it seems I have a really good guardian angel because so far I am the only one in the mission it seems that has not had some non sickness incidents. *knocks on wood* Because this week my companion from the MTC got hit by a car. . . . he didn´t die I know that is the first thing on your mind but he is perfectly fine :). The car hit mostly his leg and he is now at the offices enjoying a good time being secretary. Lucky guy :) and something like this has happened to everyone . . . . except me. And I cannot complain one single bit. It seemed like a lot of appointments fell out on us this week! I was a little frustrated but so is life. But we did find a couple of people to bring to church and we found some good families that I know that at least one of them are fully going to get baptized. We had an appointment with a man and his family but when we went it was just him. I still am not going to complain. We had given him a restoration pamphlet and told him if he had any questions. We arrived and he had so many questions it was so great. It´s finally nice when we´re not the ones asking questions every once and a while. He felt like a member with the questions that he was asking. It felt a little weird. He´s catholic (Mexico) and he has always wondered why we have to baptize children and why do we need to confess to a priest and not God. I was happy to give answers to his questions.
Probably my favorite baptism of all time!
my spiritual thought for the week.
I am still reading in the new testament and I am reading in the book of lucas right now and I came across the story of after Jesus had taught everyone from a boat and then told Simon to fish and Simon´s response was where. I think we have to have this attitude sometimes if we are to have a net full of fish that the net is breaking. Sorry for the abruptness but I am running out of time I hope the best for all of you and want to let you know that I love you all and the CHURCH IS TRUE
