Yesterday Jose Chiquillo was baptized!! Sister Allen and I almost had a heart attack because we had texted him just to say "oh see you soon!" and two hours before when he was supposed to be baptized he texted us telling us it was not a good day because he was busy. Haha nice try buddy. Long story short we ended up sitting on his front porch waiting for him to call us back after we knocked and he hadn't answered the door or the phone. Hahah he finally opened the door (turns out he was showering when we knocked), and we helped him get over his fears, helped him to see just how important baptism is, and assured him that he was in fact super ready. It was so cool because he wanted the least amount of people possible to be there aka Sister Allen and I got to be witnesses for the baptism!! It was a really stressful but worth every second of panic hahaha.
Also this week we started teaching Vinnie. He is SO COOL!!! We finally had a sit down lesson with him. He had read the chapter we gave him, Mosiah 2, and he gave us an in depth summary of the whole thing. It was awesome! We talked a lot about obedience and ended up teaching the 10 commandments. HE EVEN CAME TO CHURCH!! Ahhh I am so excited. He has such a desire to learn more and to grow closer to God. Good things coming for that kid.
I have suuuuccchhhhh a strong testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. I know, through the Holy Ghost, that it truly is the word of God. It is what helped Jose Chiquillo make the decision to be baptized and become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. And it is what is helping Vinnie (along with the Bible of course) grow closer to God and know what he needs to do to find true JOY in this life. Please please please, if yall have any questions or curiosity to know more about literally anything you have heard about the church or about God, email me. I live for answering those kinds of questions!!!!!! Or you could always ask the missionaries around you, they live for that stuff as well ;)
Have a great week!
Les quiero! Cuidense.
