¡Hola familia y amigos!
How are you all doing? I hope you´re enjoying the cold while I "enjoy" the heat and humidity :)
This week finds me back in my own area with my new compañero, Elder Smith from Roy, Utah. He has 15 months in the mission, is great in working with the members, and is very happy and loving. He´s also a little reserved like me at the same time, which is great. I am blessed to have him and he helps me a lot.
This week has been interesting. I´m still trying to figure out and have a stronger testimony of the importance of missionary wory, and also of the principle of work. I can´t deny that this week I wasn´t my best in my desires to put forth all my "heart, might, mind and strength." But the Lord, Elder Smith, Presidente Robertson, and other experiences this week helped me at least get through it, for which I am grateful.
We had an awesome lesson with several investigators yesterday. After church we showed them all the baptismal font in the chapel and, with the help of our ward mission leader, taught about the manner and covenant of baptism. One of the investigators, Roxana, is super stoked about baptism, and has a date set for this month. Right now it´s set for the 7th, but we might have to move it in order to make sure we teach her everything she needs to know before that. But she´s super sincere, and we have a lot of faith that she´ll make it (and that she´ll set the example for her three sons as well :)
Love you all! I hope you all have a wonderful week. Remember that this is the true church of Jesus Christ in the earth; the Book of Mormon is true; Joseph Smith was and is a prophet of God; repentance and change are real through Christ and obedience.
May God bless you all!
Con amor,
Elder Blake
