Genaro's baptism

 

Atoyac-Mitla Zone

Hey everyone!

This week was so great!!  I am absolutely loving this area!  The ward and my companion are amazing!

We have been working hard and I know that is where a lot of the joy we are feeling comes from!

Last week we went to a place where they sell sculptures of black clay and stuff so that was pretty cool!

Saturday was a pretty crazy but awesome day!  They had an event called Missionary Emphasis and all of the youth in Oaxaca that are in the age range to go on a mission came to this event.  Many members who are doctors or dentists volunteered to help all of those youth finish their papers!  Usually filling out your mission papers takes a few weeks but they did it in a day!  Us and a few other missionaries were invited to help organize and show the youth were they needed to go!  It took up about half of the day and we were running around for a few hours but it was so much fun!

Right after that we had to run back to our area because we had a baptism!  Genaro was baptized and it was such a special moment!  I know with all of my heart that the atonement of Jesus Christ is real!

Today we went with some members from the ward on hike.  It was a pretty steep hike but at the end we got to Mounte Alban the ruins I went to a few weeks ago!  So that was really cool!

I absolutely love missionary work!  I know God lives and he supports us and loves us.  Always remember that as Children of God the trials ahead of us are never as strong as the force behind us!
