This week was AWESOME!!!! Emanuel, Estella Vega`s son, will be BAPTIZED this Saturday!!! WOOOOO!! He is a special son of God, and I can't wait to see him follow his mom and enter in the waters of baptism. I baptized his mom last month, and I have the special privilege to see him be baptized as well. Because of his epilepsy, he can't really do very much and is under constant care from his momma, but he has one of the strongest testimonies ever! Heavenly Father loves all his children, no matter how imperfect they are, and I know for a fact he pours out special blessings over those angels everyday. I`ll send all the photos next week, PLEASE pray for Emanuel!!! We also invited Luca and Ingrid to be baptized the 29th of February, and they said YES!! They are the young couple who I saw in my area book and decided to pass by and visit them to see if they still wanted to meet with the missionaries. They came to church yesterday and we are trying to help them get married. When we went by this week, their 10 month old daughter, Paz, was sick. So, my companion and I gave the baby a blessing of health, and it was quick but filled with the power of God, using His Holy Priesthood. Not only did Paz`s health improve, but I noticed a change in Luca as well. He seemed to be humbled by the fact that in the joy of our visits and investigating the church, that what we teach and bless people with is REAL!! We are more than just someone trying to be a preacher fighting for souls to join their congregation.... We are LEGIT servants of the Master, Jesus Christ, and our Heavenly Father. We bring the hope for salvation, a remission of sins, health, comfort, and the restoration of the truth to every single person by the power and authority of God!! It is such a blessing to carry the name of the Lord Jesus Christ across my heart everyday on my name tag to tell others I`m here to BLESS you!!! We have some exciting plans going on here in San Martìn involving the members that are less active because of drama or conflicts among others. In Alma 46:11-21 we read that Capitan Moroni, in his rage against Amalikiah, created the title of liberty, and rounded up other nefites that were mad at the opposition, to fight "for their God, religion, wives, children, and liberty" This inspired my companion and I to use this scripture to teach the less active members to come to church, using the anger they may have not against another, but to fuel the passion and reignite the flames that are their testimony of the Book of Mormon, the restored church, etc..to come back, and to remember that in the war against Satan, we must be active in defending what is righteous and dear to us, not letting division and lack of effort destroy our titles of liberty. This week is transfers, zone conference, and Emanuel`s baptism, so it will be busy but fun! Love you all! I don't have much to upload this week but enjoy these sky and storm pics! Summer time in Argentina!!
