Wow, this week has been the most memorable of my mission. JOSE GOT BAPTIZED AND CONFIRMED! It would take me like three weeks to tell you all about everything leading up to his confirmation. His baptism was amazing! He was crying as he was waiting for the service to start. He has the light of Christ, and you can see it in his countenance. When he bore his testimony, the Spirit was SO strong. Wow...just thinking about it makes me smile. He said that when he was confirmed, he saw white light that overcame him. Isn't that amazing?! He still needs prayers as he continues to feel the influence of Satan, so if you all don't mind including him in yours, I would be grateful.
Transfer calls came on Saturday night. Hermana Fluckiger is being released as an STL AND as a missionary. Noooooooo! We knew this day was coming. Ah, I am so sad to be losing my best friend. Tomorrow will be bittersweet. Of course, I'm happy that she will be able to see her family and continue progressing, but I just don't want her to go! :( Buenas suerte, Hermana!
My new companion will be Hermana Corona from California. She's super cool, too. I got to go on exchanges with her in the summer, so I'm really excited to serve with her. She actually goes home at the end of the transfer, so I'll be "killing" two missionaries back to back. Luckyyyyy. Hermana Corona actually started her mission here, so that's pretty neat that she'll end her mission where she began!
I don't have much time today to write, but I want to share my testimony. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the way to truly experience lasting happiness. I know that the Book of Mormon is God's word and that it contains the fulness of the gospel. I know that Joseph Smith restored Christ's church on the earth. I know that through the power of God, he translated the Book of Mormon, and that the Book of Mormon was written by ancient prophets of God for our day. I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints contains the fulness of the gospel, and that through the Holy Ghost we can know the truth for ourselves. I know that Christ lives. He is our Savior. He loves us, and because of His love, He suffered and died so that we can have eternal life. I know that the gospel brings light because I have seen it change lives.
I love you all and I love this work. I feel so incredibly blessed to be a missionary. I love you all and am grateful for supporting me. I know that not everyone has the blessing of feeling loved and supported. Thank you. ❤️
