Hello family,
How is everyone doing? Another week gone by and another change. This past change was definitely the fast one that I have had. I don’t know where all the time goes but I guess that’s good because it means we are busy. This weekend we had three baptisms. The wife of Fabricio Farfan finally got baptized. They are both really happy and looking forward to next year to go the temple to be sealed as a family. Fabricio received the Melquesidec Priesthood this week too, good week for the family.
My companion and I are working really hard. Trying to find new people to teach. Right now we have two families that are getting ready for their baptisms. Both of them are really excited and progressing a lot. We found a family of gold that was a reference from the Farfan family that is assisting church every Sunday and even temple preparation but the husband has to finish some paper work with a divorce before he can get married to his wife so that they can get baptized. But they are really cool and have change a lot. There isn’t anything better to see the change that people can make in their lives and to see the blessings that they can receive just by obeying the commandments.
Yesterday we had stake conference and the stake president gave all the members, every family, the challenge to help an inactive family come back to church and to bring one family that are not members to church before the end of the year. Imagine how much a ward could grow if every family to the responsibility to complete the invitation. Many of us have testimonies and many of us can make a grand difference in our wards. Doctrine and Covenants 84:106.
I hope everyone has a great week. I’m looking forward to starting another change. We plan to have lots of success. Hope to hear from everyone this week. Love and miss you all a ton.
Elder Smith
