Hope everyone is doing great. Me and my companion are brillando (shining) here in Pueblo Nuevo. This week we have the baptism of our second familia de oro scheduled. I am so amazed by the miracles we are seeing here in Pueblo Nuevo. Presidente Ruiz has told us before that Pueblo Nuevo is ¨tierra de fe¨ (land of faith). Both me and my companion have put all of our trust in the Lord here. Honestly we were a little discouraged and worried when we had almost two months without a single baptism here. It has really tested our faith. The mission is teaching me so much about faith, obedience, and patience.
On Thursday, we had interviews with Presidente Ruiz and that went really well. Every time Presidente talks with us, I get rejuvinated and want to work extra hard. He is a really good mission president.
On Saturday, we were super busy. The familia de oro that we are going to baptized this Saturday got married this weekend. Me and my companion and the Zone Leaders were all working really hard to get everything done for the wedding, especially since it was kind of last minute. In the end we were able to decorate the primary room in the church and hold the wedding there. My district leader, Elder Heyrend, presented the wedding and it went really well. I think the family felt good about it. Now they are one step closer to baptism, and one step closer to an eternal family. We have actually struggled a bit with this family because in the beginning, the husband didn´t want to get married. He wanted lots of time to think about it. With the help of our leaders, the branch president, and the Lord of course, they finally made the decision to get married and get baptized the following week.
Today it has rained a lot. We were in San Felipe earlier today and it started to rain really hard. When it rains here, the roads flood a lot and you get wet. Its not easily avoided. As I type this right now, the rain is continuing to pour. Hopefully it will lighten up a bit. I´ll attach of video of the rain in San Felipe.
Anyway, thats basically all for this week. Hope everyone has another awesome week.
Elder Taylor
