Daniel's Baptism - Elder Pack (8/6 Letter)


Hello people!

This week, well, has not been the best one of my life. All though we are happy to have had a baptism, it’s not the best because my mouth is killing me.  But that’s life, I guess we pay for the things that we failed to do in the past.

So this week we focused on Daniel so that he would be that much more prepared for the interview and baptism.  He was already ready to tell you the truth.  We just made sure he was there still spiritually ready to be baptized.

So we went with a man that has had some contact with missionaries before.  I talked to the missionary that had been teaching him, and he told me that this guy had a great testimony that the church was true.  When we got there it seemed to me that he hardly knew what we were teaching him.  I know that the other missionary had told me what he saw in him, and I do believe in his words.  It just shows me the importance of doing the small things like reading and praying that help our knowledge stay.  Just like 2 Nephi 28 says if we say we have enough we lose what we had in knowledge.

About the baptism, it was great!  Daniel was late because he was at a single adult convention in Torreon.  Aside from the fact that there were not too many at the baptism, everything went well.  Elder Lopez baptized him and he only needed to be baptized once (no feet or hands out of the water)!!  We felt the spirit.  Then on Sunday, he was confirmed a member of the church.  It is awesome.

Later last week, we had a meeting with the presidencies of all the branches and districts.  We talked about how the plan and work of salvation is going to go.  We will no longer be contacting.  hahahha How fantastic!!! I don’t like contacting all that much to tell you the truth.  This makes me happy.  So we are going to get to work and baptize people!!  Let’s go.

Well, that is all I have to write today.  I have quite a pain in my head, but I will be OK.  I love you all, and I hope that you all have a great day and week!!!

Love ELDER PACK
