Miracles in my old area pt 2....and in our area too!
Soooooo.....
Maria's daughter Kiara got baptized and I got to baptize her!!! :) It was a really sweet ceremony and very spiritual! The water was cold but at least it only took two tries to baptize her haha (hair floated)
It's started getting warm with 105 degrees Wednesday. It's nice though cause everyone here is really kind and offers you water. Great way to contact! So we've been working like animals here in Antartida (our area) and finally we are seeing the fruits of our labor. We are teaching 3 families that are HUGE! We committed many to baptism in a couple of weeks, just gotta get them to church so they can receive their answer.
As President Dieter F. Utchdorf has said..."Endure to the end....or 4th floor last door". So after the baptism, we chose to follow that counsel. We could have just gone home to the pension 30 minutes early to catch up on filling out papers, but we decided to visit a family that we contacted in the street. We got a little lost, and God led us to a family on the top floor of an apartment complex. They are incredible! After talking with them we found the other family that we were looking for, and they are awesome too! They already talked with the missionaries in Cordoba 6 years ago, but now they have (2) 8 year old daughters who wanna be baptized! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!
So what is the lesson? The "endure to the end principle" applies to EVERYTHING with life!
I am so grateful for this gospel. I know its true. I love you all soooo much. I have so much support from you all with your prayers and letters. Please pray that these families will receive an answer for baptism: Families Olmos, Fernandez, Corzo
Love,
Elder Pomar (con )
