Soo my week in a
blur was good! On Monday we baked a cake and shared it with a member
family who was moving in the neighborhood to our street which weve named
Restoration Avenue cause 7 out of the 10 houses are Mormons! It was
cool being there as they dedicated their new house that we helped paint!
On
Tuesday we had interviews with President Dester which were soo good as
always! I know hes gonna be up there in General Conference one day!
and we also put 4 baptismal dates later that night for the 9th of
April.. or this next weekend! so if everything goes as it should we
should be having 4 baptisms next week! We actually had the craziest
lesson last night cause on Tuesday the Mom of the Familia Recarte was
like I wanna be baptized and the kids were saying no way were catholics!
and then after them hearing the General Conference yesterday and
walking around the church with them and getting to know it better and
for them to see the baptismal font and we actually walked downed into
it thats how curious Edwin was (hes a funny guy) but it helped him to
want to do it even more! And when we went last night to their house we
explained Lesson 5 about temples and everything and the whole lesson
Edwin was telling us like ya well now Id say Im about like at 50 percent
on wanting to baptize me and then it went to 60 and then 75 and then 80
when we said wed get him a LDS bible and then 95 and then he said Thats
It ive Decided! I want to be baptized! I want to be Mormon! I know
that the Mormon Church is true! I will be a Mormon! I am Mormon! It
was soo shocking to see all of this coming from Edwin! And after that
he was like man I feel soo inspired and wanted to do the closing prayer
and everything! Hes also reading soo much in the BOM and is in Mosiah
and I forgot to tell you guys last week but he had a dream for an answer
last week after asking God if the BOM was true and he dreamt with the
Golden Plates and declared that he knew that they were true and then
they fell out of his hands and shattered. But we told him that that was
his answer from God and that the reason why they fell is because he
wasnt taking Gods word seriously like he should and wasnt appreciating
it like he ought to! But ya soo Edwin and Ariel are both stoked about
baptism for this next Saturday and there Mom was being a little
reluctant last night just cause everyones been saying lots of stuff to
her but she knows its the right decision as well! Anyway sorry that was
kind of jumbled up! But super cool! Lets pray it all works out! But
Edwin is sooo pilas and says that he cant wait to be Elder Hernandez as
well! Hes such a funny kid!
Well I hope you
all have a wonderful week and a most excellent spring break! I love you
all soo much! And just a thought from conference is that May we all
take the Harder right instead of the easier left!
Love Elder Haden
P.S.
this week we also went to Mochito again to do another baptismal
interview and man I love it there. It soo nice and fresh and
beautiful. Such a great place and beautiful scenery. Wish you all
could see it!
