Hola a todos! For these past couple weeks, we have been covering three different wards—Mogollon, Ponderosa and Tontobasin.  We recently had a baptism in the Ponderosa ward for a lady named J.S. and I think this baptism was the best one I have seen my whole mission. The Spirit was so powerful at this Baptism, and I knew that God was happy with my companions and me. I know I didn’t take much time to teach her, but I was there to support her in the choice she had made. I could see that she had a different light in her eyes compared to before she was baptized. Baptism is an important covenant we make with Heavenly Father. We are committing ourselves to follow Him for the rest of our lives. 

In Preach my Gospel it says on page 65: “God has always required His children to make covenants with Him.” For those who may not know the meaning of the word covenant, it is a binding and solemn agreement between God and His children. God promises to bless those that make covenants with Him.  John the Revelator teaches us of some of these blessings in Revelation 1:5-6:

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the First Begotten of the Dead, and the Prince of the Kings of the Earth. Unto Him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

This scripture teaches us that Christ made it possible for us to be clean from our sins. To do so, we are required to exercise faith in Him, to repent of our sins, and to be baptized by immersion.

On another note, we have continued teaching another woman named B. She has come to Church three times already and has met multiple members of the Mogollon ward. It has been a blast teaching her. At first, she was a little antagonistic towards us, but by the third lesson she apologized to us and said she was trying to prove us wrong. She then told us that from this point forward she will keep an open mind to our teachings.

Both these experience I shared in this letter are amazing miracles that many more of you can see if you serve missions. It has been a blast serving a mission for almost two years. I will always be grateful for this opportunity I had to serve and change the lives of those who are looking for Christ. 

I love you all and I hope one of these miracles can help you this week. 

GOD IS GOOD! JESUS LOVES YOU! and I do too! ✌️ ❤️ 😎
