Yeah,
I quoted Princess Diaries. It’s okay. I am just REALLY HAPPY!
Let’s
go back a little to when I completed 1 year in the mission. My mom asked me a
bunch of questions about the people I missed, the food I like, and how my Spanish
is. One of the things that she asked me was about the investigators that I
missed the most. I talked about the cute two kids that I taught in Puerto Rico,
Octavio & Ruth.
Okay.
This is where it gets exciting. On Thursday we had a zone conference. One of
the things that happen during zone conference is that we get letters from
former companions or from our families. I got one letter that I wasn’t
expecting. As I opened it, tears streamed down from my face because in big bold
letters it read: YOU ARE INVITED TO THE BAPTISM OF OCTAVIO & RUTH. I
wasn’t expecting it. But it sure made me happy. They got baptized.
I
was saddened when I wasn’t able to stay to see their baptism about 10 months
ago. Now I feel differently. I am so happy with their decision to be baptized. I
have never felt so peaceful. I sure miss those kids so much! It really was an
honor to meet those kids and to work with them! When I was there, the branch
president didn’t give them permission to get baptized. It made me sad because I
could see their potential. With time, the missionaries have worked SO hard to
have this day happen. These baptisms were miracles. We believe in miracles here
in the Posadas Argentina Mission:)
