MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!! :)
We have some good news! We are gonna baptize Crispina this Saturday!!! Yay!! She came to church yesterday, even though the person that we had arranged to pick her up and give her a ride didn´t ever show up!! She took the initiative and took the bus to the church! :) I honestly feel like sometimes when we go to teach her that she ends up teaching us more haha...she really is the definition of a golden investigator! Keep praying that her health will be good enough to make it to her baptism.
The bad part of the week is that Limberly didn´t come to church this week, so we can´t baptize him until at least the next week...:( But he´s still a really good kid who wants to learn more and do what is good in God´s eyes, so that´s always good!
And Idk what I have said about the Sarmiento family, but there´s a mom (Marita) and three teenage girls, Julisa (17), Mayra (15), and Maria (13) that are really interested in the gospel, but haven´t been able to come to church, until this week...The three daughters and one of their friends came!! It was awesome, and they have already committed to go next week :) They said they really liked the meeting, too, so we are pretty happy for that.
I just want to wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year, too!! And I hope that we can all show some gratitude for the great gift that our Heavenly Father gave us, His Son, through some loving acts of service to His children. That is what He wants us to do this time of year, and I know that you will be blessed for it! I love you all, and know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of God. Feliz Navidad!!
