This week I got to baptize Lucero!!!!!!! I contacted her on the street about a month ago and now she's baptized!! It was amazing. Its really humbling to be able to have this opportunity to serve as representative of Jesus Christ. It's really cool to be able to feel the spirit all the time. We live so worthy of the spirit that I can feel its presence all the time. We are teaching another woman named Teresa. She had a problem with smoking but we got her to quit and to break her cigarettes. Unfortunately we found out that she was only married in the catholic church and not in the law so we cant baptize her yet. Her kind of husband is away working and isn't going to return for a while. We teach a lot of people during the week but there are only a few who are ready to receive it. The apostasy is very thick and people don't want to change. All that we can do is share what we know and if they don't except it it's there loss. This church is so obviously true and can bless the lives of all people. Only through living the teachings of the Jesus Christ and following his example can we receive peace and joy in this life and for the eternity. Study the scriptures and the life of Jesus Christ. He starts his visit to the Americas in 3Nephi11. He really did live a perfect life and we are commanded to be like him. This is His church. Follow his teachings and be blessed.
