FELIZ 4 DE JULIO!!!!! Hope you guys had a great day. It's actually a holiday in Colombia as well, but it's celebrating San Pedro y San Pablo. Elder Lindley (just came to our district from the offices), Elder La Rochelle, and I sang the national anthem on a conference call this morning...it was great. ha ha. Anyway, Julio didn't get baptized this week. We need to help him with a few things so that he is truly prepared to do this sacred ordinance. We were able to find some more new people to teach which has been great. Time continues to go bye so fast. I am still learning things everyday and I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord and share this gospel with everyone who will listen. Oh, I also gave a baby blessing yesterday for James Parker, the son of Anderson and Delma. James is 2 and a half. That was a cool experience and a surprise, ha ha. I didn't think that I would get to do that until I had children of my own. Anderson and Delma are doing great and progressing a lot. We are hoping that Anderson will be able to baptize his nephew, Said Andres, on July 16th. It is so awesome to see people progress in the gospel and see their life change. I know this church is true and I know the gospel is the answer for all of our problems. Life is never going to be easy, but the Lord and His gospel will help light our way so that we have hope and happiness through everything we go through. Have a great day! Talk to you next week!
