at least to not leave you hanging on the baptism from last week:
i met daniel when i first got here to los angeles, becuase he`s the nephew of 2 recent converts in the ward, and he`s been living with them, so we see him every time we go. a few months before he`d been receiving the lessons, but by the time i arrived he`d apparently goten bored or lost interest.when we went to visit he would always say hi, but whenever we invited him to stay and talk, he said he was busy and went to his room until we left. this happened for about a month.
one day our district leader asked about him, becuase he`d attended church several times with his aunt and uncle. long story short...our district leader met with daniel, and daniel decided that he`d give it all one more chance. he began to listen to us, and within a few days he had a baptismal date for march 16th. we didn`t see him for a week or so because i was out of own, but when he got back, he was super excited to listen, and progressed super quickly. he had his interview on friday the 8th for the next weekend, but when he came out of the room, he said, "i`m getting baptized tomorrow!!" it was a surprise, but he was totally ready, and there was no need to wait! it was a little stressful to get things ready, but totally worth it :)
next week i´ll send fotos.
scripture of the week:
alma 24:14
14 And the great God has had mercy on us, and made these things known unto us that we might not perish; yea, and he has made these things known unto us beforehand, because he loveth ourasouls as well as he loveth our children; therefore, in his mercy he doth visit us by his angels, that the bplan of salvation might be made known unto us as well as unto future generations.
con amor,
