WOW so i am officially a PADRINO ¨"Godfather" so the mendez family that we have been visiting for a while got married and it was amazing, and when the judge showed up to do all the paperwork they called me up to be the godfather of course i accepted it was amazing i love this gospel. I sent a picture of me signing the paperwork. anyway the wedding was way cute it was a little smaller and me and my companion showed up in our suit jackets and you should have seen the look of the face of all the people that were invited, they were all just looking at us like we owned the world. and it does not help that my skin is white. haha anyway seriously it was an amazing, the only problem was there was a ton of teenage girls that kept trying to take pictures of me, finally the sister flora just came up to me and said can you take a couple pictures with my cousins and i was lke ok it is all good but it was still super akward. other than that i love this family i have never really realized the power of the gospel until that moment when i was with them, it has changed there life and if was all thanks to a contact that i did nothing else, seriously this gospel is the greatest thing, the joy and power of the holy ghost is something that no one can live without, i want that everyone can feel the same joy i feel every day. and by the way my god child is vivian vanessa mendez ardaya she is 5 years old and the cutest little girl ever, i told her she was my little sister because they almost have the same name. vanessa/janessa ha she thought that was super funny.
Other than that this last week was pretty normal, well i guess it isnot every week that you get to be a godfather;
This week are transfers i am super scared i dont know wht to expect i have 3 transfers with the same comp in the same area, and he has one transfer more than i have, i dont know if they are going to change us or no, it is super weird because i have been with the same comp the same amount of time as all of my other companions in my mission until now so i have just really learned to love him, we fight a ton a ton, ha but it just makes it all the better. seriously it will be really sad if we have to leave or something.
Also we are teaching bro. Valentin, who told us he was born to be mormon and that his goal was to be baptized. he has 5 children and they all are good only the second oldest paola she is 17 and wow what a hard heart she never wants to listen or have anything to do with us, we have tried everthing we have brought over young men from the church to only flirt with her and she is still just so hard i dont know what to do, we have gotten to the point where my comp told me i need to be more charming haha but no... anyway it jsut came to my mind when tyler was in the mision i heard a similiar story and he had janessa write her testimony and send it to her, i honestly believe that could help a ton so dont be lazy i am in the work of the lord and i need your help.i know this will help soften her heart and listen to the restored gospel.
well i am running out of time we have alot of great investigators and alot of funny stories for when i return home but right now there just isnt enough time to sit around and talk
Love you all keep serving the lord, and attend the 3 hours of church, the first step to inactivation in the church is skipping 1 hour.
