Us and our LMA ready to baptize 3: Baptism
Yay!
A great week here in the south! We
had two baptisms and in the ward, in total, we had 4 baptisms!! It went super
good! We had a good show up of the ward members and many non-members were there
as well! Luisa and Leticia are two awesome young women! They are already
looking for friends that we can teach. They always say, “Elder, she/he is 10 so
she/he can be baptized!! Lets baptize him/her!!” It is super cute and of course
the more people we teach and baptisms we receive the better! :)
This week we taught a good amount of
people. It is awesome seeing the work move along. I love looking back at the
numbers we had, or just remembering how just 4 weeks ago we were struggling
with the work and now we are doing well. I know the work will continue moving
along how the Lord wants it to. The Lord is truly full of mercy!!
This week I have been using part of
my studies and extra time studying the Atonement. The more I study and learn
the more I realize how little I know. Ha-ha, but I finally understand some key
sacred principles of the Atonement, which have really moved my look on things,
and desires. From reading and rereading Alma 34 I understand a lot more. Imagine
if we didn´t have the Book of Mormon to restore the truth that was lost. The
Book of Mormon is so awesome!
This week we talked with a man named
Igor. His son is a member, and he wants to learn more and be baptized. He is an
awesome guy and has a lot of desire to move his life around. We taught a great
lesson to him and invited him to be baptized, as we always do the first visit,
and he said yes!
Yesterday we taught the elect family
again! Patricia and Tiago. They are so awesome! We taught them the Plan of
Salvation today and they asked great questions! The spirit was so strong there
as we taught them about how their family can be eternal! I feel very good about
them and feel like they are learning great and fast! I am super excited for
them. They seem to already love us after the 2nd visit!! :) What great
blessings!!
So today we will have the Zone p-day
and we will eat a lot of ice cream!! Elder Silveira and I bought 20 liters of
ice cream and a bunch of fruit!! :) We will play basketball, volleyball, and ping-pong
with the zone!
All right....so now for some news
that could be a little upsetting. So I talked with President Parrela and I will
be going home in March instead of January. But everything is for a reason so I
am excited with the extended time! :)
Mom, so Halloween doesn´t really
exist here. Ha-ha! I think the stake had an activity, but I think it is
considered an American holiday. But we did have the Day of The Dead. Sunday we
went to the cemetery and handed out pamphlets of the Plan of Salvation and
explained a little about what we believe. That is awesome about Mason Paxman´s
family going to our ward now! Our ward is celestial! Mom, I want you to know
you have done everything that our Heavenly Father desired of you raising us
children in LOVE, CHARITY and in the true and everlasting gospel!
Dad, so the official release date is
March 10th. The extra time is an answer to my prayers. I feel a lot more
confident now in reaching my personal goals. The work is going great in the
Zone! We had 7 baptisms this week in the zone! My companion and I are doing
well…I am learning a lot of patience. He talks a ton, so I just wait for my
turn and will talk when he lets me. Ha-ha!
I love you all so so much!
Elder Hauck
