Dear Mom, Dad,
Lauren, and Ian,
It's pretty interesting how just one day makes an entire
week of struggle seem like it didn't even happen! I say that because this week was tough!
Nobody was around to be taught! Appointment after appointment would fall
through, even with members! We dealt with that all week. Usually, it would be
pretty discouraging, but with what was coming up that Saturday, I told myself
that Saturday would make it all worth it. And it did.
On Saturday, Elder Walters and I traveled to the temple to
be at Felix and Santa’s sealing and arrived at about 8 am. We were told that
the session would start at nine but it turned out that it was moved to 11. I
hadn't seen them at this point because I wanted to surprise them. So we hid in
the MTC and ended up helping a teacher teach a class of 3-day old missionaries!
Boy, it brought back memories :) Anyway, 11 came around and Elder Walters and I
changed into white clothes for the session. We waited in the sealing room and
in came Felix and Santa, happier than I’ve ever seen them! It was such a sacred
and happy feeling, one that I have never felt before. And that moment they were
sealed together forever.
To finish off the day, we baptized Manuel!! A spiritual
feast, Saturday was. It's also such a special feeling to complete a family.
That day was a very good day :) We couldn't celebrate with food or soda because
we were fasting, so we're doing that today. ;)
Next week is transfers! Let's see where the Lord will
take me for this last transfer for me. I hope I stay honestly. But we shall
see! Thanks for being on and for everything! Love you guys so much!
