To start it all off Piedad Lima got baptized on Saturday May 26th. She is one of the nicest abuealitas you will ever meet. She has been investigating for 10 years and I'm super grateful that I was able to see her take the step into the waters of baptism. Elder Nelson and I were so pumped because we had both started her teaching. However something even more amazing was that her son Franklin who is about 30ish years old was waiting outside for us so that he could personally thank us. We'll we started talking to him and he told us that he was ready to come back to church. Apparently he has gotten into gang activity and fallen away from the church but he said that he felt something that he hasn't felt in a long time in the church. So we invited him to her confirmation and told him that we'd love to start meeting with him. Long story short he didn't end up coming to the confirmation but what's more important is that he felt something. We will try and contact him throughout the week to see if we can get him to church again ( he was baptized when he was 8).
We also were able to do the book of Mormon experiment yesterday. It was pretty good for us because people were everywhere especially down in Burbank.
Well things are going a lot better within the district I feel like I've figured out the best way to teach and lead them and so far it's working. It just goes to show that leading with love works a lot better than leading with anger😀. I'm super excited for Hayden and cookie!!! They both will love it. Congratulations. Also can you make sure that I get put on their email list? So guapo is the newest thing in the house? He looks like a lot of fun im sure that buddy will dig that😂😂. Also tell the belnaps that they would love it if they moved out there and they would be pretty close to us so we could help them out whenever. Thank you so much for the package this week😀I did get it along with the shoes. I love you all so much I hope that you all have a good week. Les quiero mucho. Con amor.
