Days are flying here! I wanna get right into some of the highlights of the week!
First! We had two baptisms this Saturday, for Jose Sourdis and Yurley Gonzalez(you have to say her name in Spanish, its not yurrrleeeeyyy its JJJJuuurrrrlllllaaaayyyyy :)) These two were ready for this step in their lives. They have strong testimonies and truly strive to live Gods commandments.
Something that surprised me during our lesson with Jose is that he asked me if I would baptize him! I was shocked mostly because everyone (his family) started looking at me waiting for a response, and then they all started laughing because they realized I didn't understand. Once it hit me, I raised my hands in the air and shouted ¡Si!
The baptism of Jose was really special for me not just because it was my FIRST baptism ever! But because when I saw the look on his face when he came out of the water, its hard for me to describe, but there was a Heavenly Joy and the face of Jose. Seeing someone change their life and come unto Christ is one the most satisfying feelings of peace. That night I thought about the feelings I had and the feelings that Jose had, and it put a fire inside of me to want to bring more and more people to the fount!
We had the chance to give service at the Gonzalez home! They needed me, Elder Quinonez, Elder Gutierez, and Elder Souza to chop down a jungle that was growing in their backyard. When I saw Hermana Gonzalez bring out the machetes you're darn right I got pumped up. My ninja skills we're tested once again. But don't worry mom this time I didn't hurt anything :). We were able to clear it all out for the family and they gave us some lemonade to drink after.
Missionary work is the greatest work!
I love you all and pray for you always!
Love, Elder Horton
