April 21, 2018 letter -- Salvador (Ondina)

so this week we had a good sunday. Vivaldo and Haziel went to church and really enjoyed it and we got to do some good visits on sunday. just a normal day pretty much. 

monday we got to meet the new office couple, The Thompsons, from blackfoot idaho and they are super sweet! he was a potato farmer. We got to give them a tour of the office and answer lots of questions they had. we had a bunch of stuff to prepare for zone conferences this week and elder gomes traveled with president to the zone conferences. 

tuesday We had a good lesson with Sergio about the Book of Mormon and he told us he wants us to meet with his wife as well so we can teach their whole family. Haziel commited to be baptized on saturday  and we got rained ona little bit. we missed out on a FHE with Isaias and his wife because they both got a cold hahaha I think he also passed it to me. 

Wednesday we had a busy day in the office and division with the zone leaders to do Haziels baptismal interview. We got to visit Isaias and his wife and talk with them about the book of mormon. His wife isnt super into receiving the lessons yet but she likes our visits and will start opening up to us soon enough. 

thursday and friday i did divisions with elder davis in his area and we had some awesome lessons with his investigators about the book of mormon. I love the book of mormon and the powerful spirit that its teachings about christ and the hope we can have for the future. It truly is the word of God and along with the Bible helps us to understand how we can come closer to God and Christ. Everyone should read the scriptures a little bit more!

today we have the baptism! besides that we are still waiting for vivaldo to get married and to find some more people who are interested. the work inthe office is about to get better we should have some visa visits and register some people with the PF this week. We are starting to get into transition mode and really get everything ready for President Biddulph in the next few months. Im gonna be sad to see president Bangerter go but it will be super interesting to have 2 mission presidents! even more to be in the mission office during this period, what a blessing in disguise (i hope)!!!

Jesus loves you all and wants you to be happy.
