May 26: Happiest Days!

Hi family!

I'm a little short on time today! But a picture says a thousand words, right?

Saturday and Sunday could not have been happier. Seeing Brother M be baptized and confirmed was more wonderful than I can say. The confirmation prayer and the baptism were so beautiful. Miracle after miracle after miracle this week. After Brother M was confirmed in Sacrament meeting, I was sitting next to him in gospel principles. The teacher gave him a "Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple" pamphlet, and throughout that lesson, he was flipping through it and looking at the pictures. When he got to the picture of the Celestial Room in the Salt Lake Temple, he stopped or a long, long time. He just looked at it, with light in his eyes, and then he had tears in his eyes. He said to me, "I have to go there."

I've never been more happy. There is no way to express it.

God's love is the most desirable above all things and the most joyous to the soul! (1 Nephi 11: 22-23)

We taught a first lesson in American Sign Language (...with help from the pamphlet!!) this week.

Miracles are everywhere!

I love y'all!

Here is a taste of Austin. Every night we have the most amazing sunsets!

I love my companions!! This is Brother M's famous earring. About a month or so ago, this earring was preventing him from being baptized. His heart has been so changed that when his earring broke, and we offered to fix it, he trusted us! He gave us his special earring! It was in pieces and the links had come apart. Shortly after we had offered to fix it, he surprised us by telling us that he had decided he was willing to give up wearing his earring! But he said he wouldn't give up his hair (we told him to please keep his hair!). We fixed the earring and gave it back to him a few days before his baptism. We were surprised on his baptism day when he showed up with his chain earring in. But I knew he would be true to his word when he said he would give up wearing it. So we didn't say anything. When he went to change into his baptismal suit, he came out without his earring in, and he hasn't worn it since. He has truly given everything and has committed to following Christ and being a part of church.

milagres cada dia!

chau!
