Hola Todos!

This was a really great week. We had transfers today but nothing changed for us. The whole mission basically got rearranged but somehow my zone made it through untouched. The best part of this week was yesterday. We had the baptismal service for Ayelén. It was a super, super special experience. The ordinance was super spiritual and Ayelén was just so happy. When she came up out of the water, she was just beaming and I felt the Spirit showing me just how much people can change and the joy that comes from following the covenant path. After her baptism, she bore her testimony and I could have sworn she´s been a member for 20 years. She bore it with such power and testified of all the important things- the reality of our Savior, the church is
true and so are the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. It was kinda like a proud dad moment but more a proud missionary moment. But honestly, I know it was 100% the work of the Lord in her life, I was just lucky enough to get to see Him do His work and be his voice.

Other than that we found a really good family with lots of potential.  Umm I´m not sure what else. I love the mission and find it easier and easier to lose myself here! I love you all lots!
