23 months....

This week was literally the craziest week in the entire world. All that could happen happened. GOOD AND BAD. From a man with a his liver in a bag on a bus to a phone call from a very special friend.

Fam Reyes is great. They have come to church 3 times and we are just working with them for their papers! And they are from the south and they don't have much money so we've got to sell some baleadas to pay for their wedding! The goal is to marry them and baptize them the 9th.. the Saturday before I get home:) Just a humble, quiet, awesome family that I love. 

So I don't have time but on Friday everything came crushing down and we were just flabbergasted with everything that was happening. Like so many things with investigators, inv, everything. ha. Tough day after working so hard. But we didn't get down and told Heavenly Father that we were willing to pass through these trials to see the glory baby! dyc 103:12

Oh did the glory come. Oh did it come.. On Saturday we were contacting (did I ever say how much I love contacting? it is so amazing to be able to contact a new person and just love em without knowing them) and I get a call from Loarque the office elders and Elder De la Rosa says someone wants to talk to me. Ok... And its Gustavo! He asks me how I am and all that jazz, and then asks me what I'm doing the 25th of this month.... and we joke a lot (reminds me of my dad) and I tell him I have a date with a girl haha and he laughs and he says well you're going to have to move it to another day because YOU'RE GOING TO BE BAPTIZING ME THAT DAY....

WHATTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

I was just so shocked and I still cant explain how humble and blessed I feel. Like nobody knows how much I love that family and he is getting baptized. we worked SO hard with him! He got married like 4 months ago by the Catholic church for crying out loud! 23 months without baptizing a family and there's no other family that I would be honored to baptize than familia Osorto. Oh the joy I feel. 

This week I am so thankful for my wonderful companion Elder High who I respect and love so much. He is just wonderful and a great man. So cool. SO cool. Also thankful for my blessed President of the mission. He is so merciful and amazing. Love that dude. I am also thankful for that wonderful phone call that changed my mission. It's all worth it. All worth it. And last of all but the for whom I am most grateful, my Savior. My wonderful Savior. Oh how He lives! And oh how He loves us. 

Love you all!
