Hola,
This week was so good! Last week, I wrote about the
potential people we were going to teach. This week we taught them and put them
on date!
On Thursday, we taught Cynthia the plan of salvation. She
said that after our first lesson on Sunday, she prayed and asked God if this
was the path he wanted her to take and she said she felt a sensation she had
never felt before and that she knew it was true. She accepted to be baptized
October 1! Up to that point, the day had been horrible. I had been throwing up
and had a high fever and no one was answering their door, but I know the lord
blessed me for still working hard.
Then on Saturday, we met Armida. On the phone, she told
us she had read some of the Book of Mormon. When we met with her, she showed us
her book and she's on Alma chapter 8! She said there were a couple parts she
didn't understand perfectly, so she started it over, otherwise she would be
even further. She went to the Mesa visitors center a week ago with a member
friend and that's where she got the Book of Mormon. She said she feels so good
in this church and wants to stay here. We asked her if she had any questions
before we started the lesson, and the first thing she said was "how do you
do baptisms here?" How soon can I get baptized?" We did the lesson in
the church and right after there was a baptismal service and she stayed to
watch that and she cried during the closing song. She's on date for October 8.
The baptismal service was actually for the Acevedo family
that I taught when I was serving in Aguila ward. It was such a good baptism.
The mom, Liliana, got baptized about 6 months ago and her
husband and kids were finally ready. Hermana Andelin came from Utah for the
baptism so it was fun to see her.
Saturday was a great day. Later that evening, we went to
the temple visitors center in Mesa with Ivan and his kids, Hna Castro and her
kids (her nonmember husband was going to come, but was working late), Hna
Rondon and her kids, and Hno Dominguez. It was crazy, but they all really liked
it.
Thursday night, I didn't sleep at all and on Friday
morning, I had a fever of 101.4. I went to a members house and she made me some
chicken soup and mint tea and I took a nap and I was all better by 1:00. Then I
headed to Tempe for the trainer and trainee meeting and then we taught lessons
the rest of the night.
Have a great week! Too sad about BYU :( we'll beat Utah
next time.
Keep praying for Ivan to get an apartment.
Love,
Hermana Gubler
