It is hot. I thought it was hot a couple weeks ago, but it's gotten hotter. It's a blessing. i don't know if the temperature has gone up or if the sun is just stronger, but i feel as though it's hotter now than before. Also, there's no air conditioning, just fans throwing around the same hot air all day. I love the heat. I'd much rather be here than in a cold area. It feels good to sweat, that's for sure.
We had a miracle baptism on Sunday. So last Sunday, like 10 days ago, we were desperately looking for someone to prepare to baptize this Sunday. We visited a family that goes to church like 70 percent of the time. The grandparents, kids, and grandkids are all members...or so we though. We asked, just to see, if everyone there had been baptized. Everybody said yes except for some little girl. After a little bit of talking, we found out that this same day is her 9th birthday. What does that mean? She'll count as a convert baptism. She goes to church 70 percent of the time and her whole family are members. So, we taught her a little and had her baptized this Sunday. Tender mercies of the Lord. Her name is Jaquelin Anayeli Hicho Cosiguá.
Tomorrow, April begins. What does that mean? a lot. it's the month of general conference. it's the month when Aubrey completes years. it's the month of miracles. it's the month of not looking back, just looking forward. it's the month of new challenges and new resolutions. it's the month of change. it's the month that i finish the mission. it's the month in which i will see my mom, dad, and brother again. it's the month where all will change.
I tell myself every day and often throughout the day
''In the sight of the Lord, it is not so much what we have done or where we have been but much more where we are willing to go.''
''Focus on the journey, not on the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.''
