Two baptisms and five birthday cakes - July 30, 2012

Well, I love the mission. I'm preparing to come home (July 15th!!) mentally and made lots of goals. But, I still have 2 weeks left and I am going to love and live every second of it.

Marcos Vilela and Marcela Quiroga entered the waters of baptism this last Saturday. Amazing. Future families sealed in the temple. Ruben Flores, our recent convert did the baptism. The ward is on fire :) Amazing last baptisms.....

It was my bday this week. Hna Lino was the 26th, mine the 27th. We went to visit the members and found out that there had been FIVE birthday cakes made for us in different families. That's what you get for being close to the members- 3 pounds of birthday cake goes straight to the hips :)

We just got to San Rafael. Mixed emotions, but great to be in my favorite area of all time. It should be a BLAST this week!! 

I love you all........

Alma 28:14 And thus we see the great call of adiligence of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord; and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing梥orrow because of death and destruction among men, and joy because of the blight of Christ unto life.
