So this week was pretty awesome! We did sooo many things! And sorry in advance for my English, it has not been too good lately!
So, this email is going to be the story of how we met, taught, and baptized Familia Martinez, Olvin and Jenny.
Olvin and Jenny are the neighbors of some members, and were
actually a reference from them. Olvin was very open to hear everything
about the church, but Jenny wasn't. She didnt like meeting with us, but
she did like when we sang hymns with her.
So we started just teaching Olvin by himself in his neighbor's
house. He went to another baptism and he even asked the branch president when he can get baptized! It was such a great experience!
They weren't able to come to church the
next Sunday,
because Jenny had a surgery, and was bed ridden. But we still visited
them a lot, and one time when we visited with Jenny, she asked us if it
was possible to get baptized the same day as her husband. We were
shocked! She wanted to get baptized! And her husband was very surprised
too! It was the first time he had heard of her desire to get baptized!
Another thing, is that Olvin wanted to get baptized like
Jesus, in a river. So we had to find a river, for him to get baptized
in. Needless to say, after visiting them every day for the last week and
a half, teaching as many lessons as possible, and making sure that they
will follow the commandments, they got baptized this last Saturday, and
were confirmed
on Sunday.
It was such an awesome experience. They are such an amazing family. I
have been so humbled teaching and learning from them. They have such a
strong desire to go to the temple as well, and be sealed for all time an
eternity. Ahhhhhh!!! I love this family sooo much!
