Hola mi querida familia y amigos!!!
I hope that you all have had a great week and that all is well. I am very grateful for all your emails, prayers and support. THANK YOU!!!
With so many people here in the capital, we really do just focus on finding all the time. Its great because we can always find someone knew to introduce ourselves and share a bit about the church and the Gospel. Its hard at times when we are able to have a really great conversation with some people but then when we return to visit them again, we cannot find them. Its interesting but there is always someone we can talk to which is a blessing. Some days people are not home so we do a lot of walking around, but there´s always some sort of small miracle we see each day.
So since I got here, we have been teaching this awesome Haitian man named Françios. He barely speaks Spanish but has been coming to church for several years. He can only understand a bit of the classes and things in church but he comes consistantly anyway because he can feel that its true!!! He has ready the whole Book of Mormon already in Creole and has such a desire, even with the communication difficulty. Anyway the other Hermanas have been teaching him for a while and his baptism is this Saturday!!!! I am so humbled and excited to be able to be here to prepare him in these last few weeks and see enter into the waters of baptism. He is such a great example of faith and following through with what we know to be true. There used to be a larger group of Haitians that came to church but stopped coming in time because they could not understand. Françios has continued coming because he loves the church and this Gospel and feels the Spirit and the truthfulness. Its great because while we can barely communicate without a member to help translate, you can just feel his Spirit. These small tender mercies from the Lord are so precious! The Holy Ghost really does testify to our hearts so we can feel the truth! Its something undeniable. Anyway I am so excited to be able to attend his baptism and to help him through this process as a new member of the church. Like Françios, I truly can feel that this is where I´m supposed to be. Our Father in Heaven has a plan for each of us and helps us to find the truth and receive the help and blessings that we need. We just have to keep working and pressing forward with faith in Christ!!
Anyway I hope you all have a great week and that you can keep pressing forward in whatever is passing in your lives as well!!
