Madison's Mission Memos: BAPTISM!

I was transferred into Toa Baja and we had a baptism here! His name is Miyito :) He is about 40 years old but understands a little more on the level of a 12 year old. He is so pure of heart and the members help out a lot on getting him to church. One thing that I really do love about teaching Miyito is that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone. It does not matter if you are the smartest person in the world, if you are homeless on the street, if you have a pure heart and faith in Christ the gospel of Jesus Christ can be taught to you. Miyito is a wonderful example of being pure in heart. He is aware that he has a hard time understanding things and so he will call us every once in a while to read us the ingredients in the food he is going to eat in order to make sure he isn't breaking the word of wisdom. He is a wonderful child of God and it was amazing to see him enter into the waters of baptism. I love him so much. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is simple. Have faith in Jesus Christ. Have faith that he is the Savior of the world and that he is here for each of his children no matter their circumstances. Compared to God we are all the same.

A little bit about my comp: She is from Peru and she is the most hard working person. Im exhausted. BUT! She is an angel :) I LOVE HER SO MUCH! She has been out for 7 months and I am pretty sure she is the best gospel teacher in the world. Sometimes I sit in the lessons and think, "I knew that... but the way you explained it makes me feel like I just learned it with so much more clarity" She is incredible. This is going to be an amazing transfer in Toa Baja :)

It has rained on us every single day here and I don't remember what it is like to be dry. I LOVE IT! We got stuck in a rain storm where I couldn't see my hand in front of me and we had to run into this house and we were able to teach the Restoration to this wonderful Joven. Once we finished the prayer the rain stopped.

IF people are wondering....The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints is the Church Christ established in preparation to the second coming. God loves you. He loves ALL his children. Jesus Christ Lives.

Have a wonderful week :)
