This week, we saw lots of miracles! First off, Jussep got baptized! He's an awesome youth, who has consistently been walking to church every Sunday, by himself to get there. Although not a member, his mom is very religious, and was there to support him.
This week, a 9 year-old girl named Antonia was also supposed to get baptized, but her sister got sick and had to go to the hospital, so the family thought it would be better to postpone her baptism until next week. At first I was upset. Why would Heavenly Father NOT want her to get baptized this week? It didn't make any sense to me at the time. Later, we went to go visit Antonia's parents, Justina and Javier, who need to get married before they are able to get baptized. While visiting them, they told us that the paperwork for their marriage has gone much faster than expected, and they will be getting married on Tuesday, and will be baptized with their daughter this upcoming Saturday!!! It really was a miracle for them, and for us, and it just shows that when we put God first in our lives, He will provide ways for us the fulfill His commandments, and His plan is ALWAYS higher than the plan we have for ourselves. It was truly an amazing experience, and so the three of them will be baptized together this week. I hope everyone else had a good week as well, and I'll update everyone again next week!
