This week was another fantastic week! We had the baptisms of Brayan and Angy. Like I have said before, Angy is very chosen. She is 12 years old but she acts like she is 16 and she understands everything that we teach her, and she has such a strong testimony.

After her baptism she shared her testimony and she said how she saw something shining in the sky when she came up out of the water and she said how she felt so peaceful and how she just wanted to stay under the water when she got baptized because of how good she felt. Both her and her brother, Leo, are young but they keep telling us how they're going to serve missions and it just makes us so happy to hear that.

This week we had stake conference to open up the new stake, Santa Clara and Elder Held was there, and he spoke along with President and Sister Amato. After stake conference, we were getting off the bus that we had taken as a ward to go there and a young man gets off and comes up to us and asks us elders, "What do I need to do to get baptized?" The dream of every missionary, haha. His name is Fabian and we have a lesson with him today so we're excited to start teaching him.

Something that has really caught my attention these past couple weeks is how we can become new creatures thru Christ. In Mosiah 27 it talks about Alma's experience and what he went through after he had been unconscience for 2 days and nights.
24 For, said he, I have repented of my sins, and have been aredeemed of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit.
25 And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be aborn again; yea, bborn of God, cchanged from their carnal and dfallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his esons and daughters;
26 And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in anowise inherit the kingdom of God.
I testify that all of us can change from a carnal and fallen state and be born again and become new creatures through Christ. The mission has helped me so much in changing as a person, and I can't thank Christ enough for what he has done to help me.

I hope everyone has a great week.
