2018-3-18 – My Baptism Tie


March 18, 2018 – My Baptism Tie

One thing we do to help families fully live the gospel and set plans to enter the temple to be sealed is give out this sheet (see attachment)

One large family we share with managed 5/7 days reading the scriptures and praying together, held an FHE, and came to church! It's great to see the simple obedience and strong faith bring blessings
We are planning to help in a service project with them as we help them prepare to enter the temple in May. Father and one son are working hard to stop smoking, one has been clean for a few days now, and father is down to a half stick

Other families just like theirs are making great progress on becoming fully obedient to the gospel!
This week my companion E Aplicador inspired me to read the Old Testament. It's the only thing in the mission library I haven't read here, and what inspired me was the project he started and I'm going to try as well, a family tree of Adam down through all the ages to Christ down to me 
One of the closest religions to the LDS church turns out to be the Islam religion, who also devoutly trace their ancestry, and we find out that the branches are not far! Whether Ishmael or Isaac, Abraham is still the origin. Their beliefs on family also shares some similarities with the Church of Jesus Christ
Thanks for reading, I love you all!

One family that we are visiting makes clothes, and they got an order for JollyBee jackets. I had to try it on!

 To make up for last week, here is the second seminar, it was like the first but almost double the attendance. Great way for students to be inside a chapel and get familiar with the missionaries!
 My comp Elder Harper is getting work done in Camarin!
Here is a picture of my baptism, 8 years old. You'll notice I haven't changed my tie in over a decade
