I can not believe that I only have one week left as a full
time missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I want to soak in every single last second of
being set apart to do this work. Still
has not hit me yet but I am sure it will once I feel myself leave the smog of
California.

| Brother Gomez's baptismal service |
This past week I was able to
make it back to a baptism for Brother Gomez! The service was absolutely amazing, there has
been a ton of people that have been waiting and praying for this day to come
and it finally did!!! Elder Anderson and
I taught him when we were in La Piedra together, and it was cool we were asked
to do the presentation of the Restoration following the ordinance.

My past emails have been touching the Doctrine
of Christ a ton haha I am sorry if it seems repetitive, but I have talked about
faith, repentance, and enduring but this email is going to be about Baptism and
the Holy Ghost!!! They confirmed him at
the Baptism as well, because he is a fire-fighter so he has kind of a weird
schedule, but I was able to be a part of the confirmation as well which was
awesome and usually rare when you go back for someone’s baptism, because they
only usual do that during church on Sundays. I absolutely know that as Jesus says himself, “Verily
verily I say unto you unless a man be born of water and the spirit he can
not enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5) It is an amazing opportunity to have the
priesthood authority that is necessary to perform these ordinances, and there
is always such a sweet spirit that is invited to baptisms. The Spirit does such
an amazing job at testifying to truth and I feel that feeling every time I
witness someone partake in this saving ordinance.
