Hello dear family and friends! This week was a good one! We found a lot of new people and they are really good too! We got Marlen's baptism planned for this week! Wahoo! She is really excited and hasn’t missed church since we started teaching her. Our mission leader is great and helps her a lot. Also Samuel told us that he wants to try getting baptized on the 24 still! So that was a miracle. We read 1 Nephi 8 with him and are focusing to make sure he is reading everyday to be able to have true desires to be baptized. And in Mexico we had a really cool transmission this Sunday and I will talk more about that in my spiritual thought. Also, haha an 8 year old girl wanted me to baptize her, so I did, haha, I had never met her, but it was a good experience.
Spiritual Thought Of The Week
So we had this transmission because there are going to be a lot of changes in the stakes and missions here in Mexico. But pretty much every person talked about the gathering of the Israel. Elder Lynn Robins talked about our temple recommends. Our temple recommend literally serves as a passport or visa to enter into God's kingdom. Entering the temple literally represents entering into God's celestial home and is a symbol of our condition as members. We must prepare ourselves for the final test. We do that by going to the temple regularly. As it says in 2 Nephi 31, when we are baptized we enter into the gate and are then in the strait and narrow path that leads to eternal life. In this path are temples. We are baptized and we have to keep progressing by going to the temple to make it to eternal life! I know these things are true. I love the church so much it is so perfect! We are so blessed to have so many temples today and those in Utah are even more blessed to have one so close! Please take advantage of the temple and prepare yourselves for the second coming of our Savior. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Con Amor, Elder Herman
