Family!!!
Izidora got baptized and confirmada this weekend! It was absolutely beautiful. When she got el don del espiritu santo she came back to sit down and was crying and was just like, "I feel so relieved."
Of course, we were running around like crazy to get things worked out for the baptism like normal. I think it´s a pretty standard rule that you shouldn´t leave things cooking in the oven while you´re gone. It´s also pretty standard to not leave the font going while you're out working. Haha... we didn´t have a ton of time this week because of Mundial! So we had both the brownies for the baptism and the font going at the same time in two different places with the eternal investigator in the middle of the two that talks a TON. Luckily, the font didn´t overflow. BUT, we didn´t have brownies at the baptism...:)
Argentina is a little depressed. This week we were encarceladas and couldn´t leave the apartment for forever. But, we had on our Argentina Jerseys and our neighbor Sergio was keeping us updated. Por sus gritos.
I don´t have a ton of time so I´m just gonna copy this thought from my study journal this week. Hopefully it makes sense cuz I won´t have time to go back and help you understand what I was talking about Haha.
Alma 47:13. Lehonti. Kills me. It´s so important to stay firm. To be steadfast and immovable. (Mosiah 5:15). Lehonti had good intentions when he fled to the mountains but when Amalickiah got there he couldn´t resist the temptation. I feel like as the reader we are like, "Lehonti! What the heck?! What are you doing man?!" And it´s like that in life too. People are watching us and can see danger we can´t. How nice it would have been if Lehonti had talked to some people about his decision before, but instead, in that same night, in a split second, he made the worst decision of his life. He made a plan without taking it to the Lord or talking to anyone else about it. Pres. Heyman was ALL about plans. And, obviously, the most important part about making plans is having the Lord´s help to make them and then to have his approval.
No one make any crazy life changing plans without talking ém to the Lord first. Don´t be dumb like Lehonti.
Also, I just feel like I should put this in here too. Everything in the church goes back to the Book of Mormon and the Prophet Smith. If you have doubts or a problem with a commandment, PRAY to know if the Book of Mormon is true and then look in the scriptures for an answer. (PMG chapter 5)
Love you all!!!!!
Besos!
