Wow, just an incredible week! This Friday will be Raquel's baptism. She is the wife of an excommunicated member who is working back into activity in the church. She has one of the most solid conversion stories I have heard. She knows the gospel is true. It is so cool to get to work with awesome families like them and see how the gospel blesses them. I will send pictures of the baptism next week.
I have also had an incredible experience of inviting. I have come to see how much simply inviting influences those around us. This last week, we focused on inviting every single person to church. It was super cool to see how people were very receptive to the invitation. Many times we think that if we invite people to do something, it will make them feel uncomfortable and will scare them away. As we invited everyone to church, it was cool to see how some rejected us but still showed us respect. I think our biggest role as members of the church is to simply invite others and give them the opportunity to try it out. If we don't invite, they will never now. As a result of this, we had 9 investigators at church. It was awesome to see how simply inviting others to act has helped them draw closer to God.
Short and sweet this week. Great things are happening and it is a great time of my mission! I am enjoying every minute of it! I love you all and hope you have a great week!
