Receiving Enormous Blessings From The Lord Right Now!
Hey guys!
Elder Jay and I had a great week.
We baptized an 11 year-old kid named
Geovanni on Monday which went super great and his dad, who is not a member, was
also present and felt the presence of the Spirit there. We are going to follow
up with him and teach him the gospel as well.
We found more investigators this
week who have family members who are members of the church either in our ward or
in a different part of Mexico or the United States. They are really accepting of
the gospel and have felt the Spirit strongly and have committed to follow our
Lord Jesus Christ. They will be baptized this upcoming week.
We had a really
cool spiritual experience in how we met one of the families we found this week.
We were walking to one of our investigator's houses a few weeks ago when Elder
Jay told me that he felt he needed to knock a door that we had passed a little
while back. So we went back and knocked it but the people didn't want anything.
Elder Jay couldn't remember well if that was the house or if it was another one
that looked alike. So we knocked the other one and no one was home so we decided
to go back whenever we passed by to see who lived there and if we could find
somebody at home. We passed by a few more times over the next little while but
no one was ever home. So we went one night just to check one last time and while
we were waiting to see if anyone would answer, a guy came up to us who was a
little drunk and said that he was a member and that he was baptized 4 years ago
in Maryland and that he really needed help to overcome his addiction. We went
over to his house and that's how we got to know him, his aunt, his mom, and his
wife, all of whom we are teaching right now while helping him conquer his
weaknesses. His mom is the only one with a baptismal date right now but we might
be able to get the other two this week also if we keep working hard.
We are
doing great and are receiving enormous blessings from the Lord right now!
I love you all and hope you have an awesome week!

Teaching Of The Godhead With Inspirational Prayer
Hey guys!
Elder Jay and I had a good week and witnessed the help of the Lord through His spirit with the people we are working with.
Elder Jay and I focused this week on the things we learned this week from zone meeting about a tool we could use in the work by combining the teaching of the Godhead with inspiration in prayer to invite powerfully the spirit and then use the six steps. We decided to also put a goal to put 1 baptismal date every single day. As we did it and focused on that goal we saw the success. Although we weren't able to put 6 or 7 baptismal dates this week, we were able to put 3 and take them to church.
Using these things we learned, we went to an appointment with a lady named Claudia who we had met through her son who we met when some teens called us over to play frontón (handball) one day. We went to meet with her and taught about the Godhead and the role of every individual member of it. The spirit came powerfully to the lesson and Elder Jay offered an inspired prayer that made her feel the spirit stronger and start to cry. When we ended the prayer we asked her how she felt and she said that it was an amazing sensation she felt inside along with lots of peace and that it made her want to cry. We identified with her that it was the Spirit that she was feeling and taught her about the Doctrine of Jesus Christ and invited her to be baptized. She accepted and is still doing well. The next day we went over and her daughter was there so we taught both of them about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and when we could feel the Spirit, we invited her daughter, Belén, to also be baptized and she accepted.
We also were able to teach the grandson of some members of our ward who are getting back to activity in the church. His name is Giovanni. We taught about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he himself identified the need for baptism and accepted gladly to be baptized. We are planning all of their baptisms for this week to come and the confirmations of the kids we baptized last week and this week.
We are doing great and will continue to do so and I hope all of you do too! Love you all!

P.S. To all those who read this blog: I normally make it a matter to not disclose personal or family issues with friends and others. However, I wish to inform all those who read my blog that my mom, Holly San Diego, is sick and in the hospital right now suffering from what the doctors conclude to be an inflamed pancreas. I would ask of all of you to please include my mom in your prayers on behalf of her well-being and recuperation. I will be eternally thankful for all those who do so.

The Blessings Of God Poured Out In Our Area!!
Hey guys!
Elder Jay and I had a great week. We worked really hard this week
and it all felt like it passed by so fast and that it was a dream.
We baptized two this week from the family that we found. Their names are Anthony and Axel. The baptism went super well and we are preparing more of the family for this week to come. We are finding lots of success and look to have a great month of March.
We also were able to meet with one guy who contacted us last week and we had a great lesson with him in which the Spirit was strongly present. We invited him to be baptized and he accepted but didn't commit to a date yet because of some problems he has that he wants to be rid of before. He has since gained a testimony of Joseph Smith and is reading the Book of Mormon. We will meet with him more this next week and invite the Spirit more and put a secure baptismal date with him so we have a date to work towards.
Besides that, the work is really going along great and we are seeing the blessings of God poured out on our area.
Have a great week!
