Hey everyone!
Alright so first things first. This church is SO freakin true. It is kinda ridiculous, like I don't get how people could reject our church. But whatever. Second, ARTURO HAS BEEN DUNKED!! He's one of those Mormons now. But yeah he is now officially a member of the ONLY true church on this planet, but it's whatever. So yeah he got baptized on Saturday which was AWESOME! Our ward mission leader Brother Irving baptized him. It was sick. Then one of the Spanish members Brother Elias confirmed him yesterday. So, after the baptism, I asked him how he felt. He just looked and me and my companion and smiled and said, "I feel light, I feel new." He was so happy and he described how he felt in a way that I think perfectly shows how baptism can completely change someone’s life. Through baptism you can literally be washed of your sins and start over completely new and have that burden of sin taken away. And it is all because of our savior Jesus Christ. I know that through this gospel is the only way we can have eternal happiness. I know that baptism is necessary for our salvation and without it we will NOT be able to live with our Father in Heaven and His son forever. I am so grateful for the sacrifice of our Savior. I only hope to pay him back one day. Anyway, after his confirmation we were talking to him about how now he can come out to lessons with us and teach other people that are learning just like him. He was super excited about that and told us how he couldn’t wait to share this with others and that he wants to teach tell everyone he talks to about it. He is already pumped to do missionary work. He is just so awesome and is such a good example to me. Even though his family told him they would not talk to him, he knew he needed to be baptized. And now he can't wait to tell his family about the way he has changed and how much happier he is since he has been learning about this amazing gospel. He is the bomb. So yeah, this was a super good week! We are going to continue working with him towards getting the priesthood and going to the temple. Well, that is all that really happened this week. We were just kinda focused on him, making sure he was ready and gettin it all set up. But it was a good week! Hope all is well with all of you! I’ll talk to you next week! Love you! Elder Harman

Hey all!
Aight so this week was pretty sweet I guess! Taught some doctrine, testified, made people feel the spirit like crazy and such. Just a normal week in the mission field. Not a big deal. But yeah it was a good week. We did a lot of service, helped out at the ice festival up in Leaven (it’s Leavenworth, but Mexicans can’t say Leavenworth so they just say Leaven...hah). Anyway, not a ton happened this week.... But Arturo is getting dunked on Saturday! We have his baptismal interview tonight so that is exciting! He is so great! I'm so excited for him! He is having a hard time cause his family in Cali told him that they would basically disown him if he was baptized in our church, but he knows that he needs to be and he knows the their hearts will be softened. He is the BEST! So my comp and I started a new thing that we are going to do every day. It is called, "Today's daily quote of the day, today." So every day we are gonna have a quote. So if anyone has any good quotes hit me up. I will talk to you all next week! Con Amor, Elder Harman |
