There were a lot of little moments this week that I loved. Basically all of them had to do with Rocio and her husband.
Rocio got baptized this week! So cute. Her husband Alcides is THE CUTEST. They got to the church before we got there and when we walked in, Alcides just started tearing up and was like, "Thank you, thank you." They always tell us that we are angels that fell from heaven into their house.
We were waiting for one of the members to get to the baptism, so I just told them we would wait and start in about 5 minutes and Alcides is like, "I´ve been waiting 13 years for this moment." HOW CUTE IS THIS GUY?!
And then we were waiting outside while Rocio had her baptism interview and when she came out she was just like, "I´m getting baptized!" with her hands in the air and she hugged both of us so hard. And then Alcides was like, we need to pray. He´s always reminding us to pray. :) oh man.
Hermana Benitez is learning how to read!! If you guys want to pray for her that would be awesome. She´s a single mom with four kids and they have nothing! She can´t read. She doesn´t even know the basics. So some of the Hermanas in the relief society have been helping her and we were invited to their little family home evening this last night. I was sitting next to her and was reading the words in the Book of Mormon and following along with my finger and then she would repeat the words after me. (Kind of funny that out of all the people that were helping her, I was the one that was reading for her haha #soygringa) We had to leave before they started the actually teaching part. But. I´m so grateful for education. And for the basics like knowing how to read. Such a blessing.
I know I never send pictures. And I never really even plan to send pictures. But, I want you to know that I really did plan on it today. I just can´t send pics on this computer. haha lo siento. Maybe next month ;)
Love you all!
Besitos!
