Serving the Lord March 8, 2010

Baptism of Hermana Quezaliris

This week was amazing. Monday I had interviews with the Mission President and talked to him about a lot of concerns I had and he helped a ton. This week my companion and I worked together so well, we accomplish so much.

Hermana Cecilia got baptized a month ago, she is still doing awesome. We talked to her this week about temple marriage because she is starting to get more serious with her boyfriend, so we will see how that goes... I told her if he didn't want the church it was best to drop him.

This week I really gained a testimony that there is no excuse for not serving the Lord and keeping his commandments. In my ward here, the members have really slacked off or misunderstood their callings for quite some time. The computer list of members says we have 390 members but only 70 people are at church. No one has taken care of the in-actives or sent info of people that have moved. We are working to fix all this but it makes me so sad that we don't know what happened to so many of the Lords sheep. When we got baptized we promised to serve others and keep the commandment see Mosiah 18. So those who refuse to do their calling or help others really have some stepping up to do. If we really want to live with our savior after this life we have to be willing to sacrifice as he did.

Anyways, I love you all so much and I'm so grateful to be serving here.

THANKS!!!
