El Testimonio

Howdy. So, I´ll just start out by saying that the heat´s lowering.  I can sleep decently comfortable at night now. It´s still switching between Hot and colds days now, but at least we´re getting there. Elder Tito and I are working super well together, and we´re finding some new people to teach.  It´s a funny story with Roberto and Amelia, because they know they need to be baptized, and they´re ready, they just don´t want to accept a baptismal date.  So maybe randomly you´ll see in the email that they got baptized, or maybe in a few months, or maybe you´ll know when I get home. But oh well, we´ll see. :) 
Funny story, we were at the baptismal service yesterday after Stake conference, and some of the people that were getting baptized looked vaguely familiar to me.  After a little bit of time, i realized that i´d talk them before when I did splits in another area.  When I was there, they didn´t want to listen much, but we taught them anyway. well, about a month later, they entered the waters of baptism. Just goes to show how the gospel can work in people´s hearts! I love to see stuff like that!
Another thing I love is the testimony of new converts. we were talking with Roxana this last week about church.  She told us how she loves going because she feels joyful, clean, and ready for the next week.  Hearing testimonies like that really make the daily heartbreaks and weariness worth it.
Well, I just want to encourage you all as always to do the basics that Christ would encourage you to do, Read the scriptures, pray, and sanctify the Sabbath day.  Seek a deeper meaning in every one of these principles. 
I know that this church is true, and that it´s Christ´s gospel. Now go out there, have a good week, and go make yourself a little more Holy, and someone else a little more happy. 
Que Vayan bien,
les quiero!
