Dia de Enamorados y la Amnistad

On February 21st, our branck celebrated Valentine's Day. We had a dinner and dance. It was really a lot of fun! The dinner was st up like a nice restaraunt, where the young men and women served the couples!!!

Special Mutual

This week with the young women, we had the opportunity to do a service project. The special mutual had a dinner-dance, and we were able to go help serve their dinner, then set up for the dance. What an incredible experience! All of the people who attend spacial mutual are handicapped in some way. It was incredible to be able to spend time with them. I felt so much love in that room! It was really neat to be able to talk to them. It was also an incredible experience for the young men and women- as we talked about what it must be like to live in such a limited body. It was just awesome. I want to share a few pictures from that night!

A wedding and baptism!

Last Saturday was a very special day! Carmen and Francicso have been working together to become members of the church. I absolutely adore them- they are some of the most special people I have ever met. I know I have been blessed to able to know them! Last Saturday they were married byt President Alvarenga, the branch president, and then Carmen and Eric were baptized. Francisco will be baptized soon as well.

One thing I want to share about Francisco. One Sunday we were discussing baptism in gospel essentials. Francisco told the teacher about his father who passed away, and how he was concerned about him being able to accept the gospel. I felt strongly impressed to tell him after class that his father had been watching, and listening as they had been being taught. We talked about baptisms for the dead. The spirit was so incredible! He is a very special man who has an incredible mission on this earth. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be his friend and be a part of the decisions he is making in his life! I look forward to the day we ge to attend his baptism!
