Éxito! Éxito! Éxito!


Having done some self reflection this week (again), I have come to the
conclusion that up to now, my mission has been a success. It was an
overwhelming experience. I feel more confident in myself and the
person that the Lord has moulded me to be.
 
Well this week was super special, and the spirit was felt, as we
participated in the baptismal service of our Hermano Joaquin (pictures
attached) It was just super great. Funny story: He called us on the
phone like 5 minutes before it was supposed to start and asked us if
it was okay to use fishing pants since it was all he had that was
white. Well we said yes, and were expecting like overalls or
something. It turned out fine, they were just like a light lululemon
type capri that had some elastic at the bottom. Super cute! He is just
so honest, and it makes me smile.
 
I just feel really good. It has been a while since we have had a
baptism, and everything just went so smoothly. I hope things continue
on this path. I’m super grateful to be here in Mexico serving, more
because I’m in Vallarta, and love the people here. I have grown to love
all those who we visit, and have learnt something new everyday, from
my companions or from those we have visited, just such an edifying
experience that cannot be traded for.
 
Well hope you enjoy the pictures. I wish I could send all videos that
I have too, but those will have to wait another 6 months. :)
 
 
“We have every reason to be optimistic in this world. Tragedy is
around, yes. Problems everywhere, yes. … You can’t, you don’t, build
out of pessimism or cynicism. You look with optimism, work with faith,
and things happen” -President Gordon B. Hinckley
