Week 18: ¡El Templo y Cambios!
Hola todos! Comò le va?! Espero que todo bien! I hope you all had a great week! This week was awesome for us down here in Delta Del Tigre! First off like to thank everyone who sent some birthday emails to me (thanks mom for the Instagram post reminding everyone)! The birthday in the mission field was a good one! Two different families in our Branch were super kind to make a cake for me that day, so we were eating pretty good this past week to say the least! We also received news of our cambios! My companion is off to Salto as a Zone Leader, and Ill be staying here in Delta for another change with the Elder Bruneli! I dont yet know him, but he is from Brazil! Im super excited to move onto my second companion in the mission field and have more experiences!
This past week we were able to go the the temple to do baptisms for the dead. It was such an awesome experience. We went with Sebastian and Christian (who were baptized a few weeks ago) and also our Ward Mission Leader and our Branch President. We went Thursday morning and it really was just one of the best days ever. I can honestly say I just felt pure joy as we were able to do temple work for those who have past on to give them the chance to accept this gospel. Doing the work on both sides of the veil...and for it to be Christian and Sebastians first time to the temple, it made it that much better. Afterwards we knocked on President Olsens door and he came out and he greeted us and talked and took some pictures with all of us! That was so cool for the guys who came with us to meet him. Temple work is such a cool thing, I know it may seem strange to someone who is not familiar with it...but it really is the most amazing thing you can do. To give someone who never had the chance to hear this gospel the opportunity to accept it and have their work done for them.
I love you all and hope you each take the chance to go to the temple whenever you possibly can!!! Have a great week!
