This week has been amazing for me and elder Terron. So I guess to start off Lima is getting baptized this week on the 26th of May!!!!!😀😀😀😆she is definitely ready we are both really excited. I have seen the gospel help her so much in her life. So to give a little bit of a back story she had been coming to church for about 10 years and had never been baptized she is from el Salvador and loves the message of the restoration.
She was so excited to recieve the lessons from us and changed her life immediately. It was amazing to get to see her progress from the beginning to baptism. I am super grateful for the spirit and the ability it has to help us teach effectively. Without the spirit we would not be able to teach anything.
Other than that the familia Castillo are doing really well and progressing a lot. We are hoping that they will accept a date soon😀. This P-day we went to the LA zoo!!! We got to see all the animals and even a few of the shows that they do there. ( I've got a couple pics).
Something I've learned this week is not to get frustrated with people because it never helps. I had a time this week where I was really frustrated with some other missionaries and It really didn't help me or them. I ended up apologizing for getting mad at them but it really hurt the trust that they had in me as well as what I had them. Its better to be what President Hinckley says, "slow to anger." So I'm trying to do a lot better and I've seen them gaining that trust back in me as well as the trust that I had in them.
I really am super pumped for this weekend and the baptism that we will have with Lima. Please keep her In your prayers as well as the familia Castillo that we can get them baptized. I love you all it sounds like it's been a pretty eventful week. If you could send some pictures of what the basement looks like that would be sick. Something I would invite everyone to do is to read the talk return and recieve by elder m Russel Ballard it's a super good one.
Les amo muchísimo. Espero que puedan hacer todos las cosas que tienen que hacer. Por favor diga Ansón que,"te doy una felicidad por terminar la escuela primera. Estoy muy agradecido por las paketas y los Zapatos. Juego muy bien en ellos😀😀😀. Les quiero mucho. Con amor
Elder Gibbons
