HI FAMILY!!!!
Wonderful News!!!!
Leticia was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!
 |
| We are so excited for Leticia and the wonderful blessings the gospel will bring! |
I had the opportunity to give a talk in the baptism about leaving behind an old life, and being born again in baptism. I felt so much of Heavenly Father´s love for Leticia, and because of this, cried with her telling her that her Heavenly Father was proud of the decision she made.

| Leticia's younger sister and her grandma (Donna Ester) were able to attend her baptism. |
With the quick time change she had to endure cold water, but the Spirit took over and Leticia couldn´t have been happier. It was a wonderful day!

Sis. Cellurale soon joined us to celebrate Leticia's big day.
Afterwards, we celebrated by eating Mr. Cheney´s cookies, and tonight, we are going to celebrate more with her with some sweet treats :)
This last week, Lucas came to church for the third time. He has been reading the Book of Mormon so much--he recently finished second Nephi, and he has such a strong testimony of it. This week, we are going to teach him with the young men´s president, and we are going to help him see the importance of serving a mission. He is 18 years old, and puts Heavenly Father first in his life, and I know he will be a great missionary.

To talk a little bit about him, he is a member of the Church called the Assembly of God, and one day we were talking with some people on the streets when he came up to us and asked us if we were missionaries, and that he was looking for a church because he wanted more direction in his life. He is truly elect, and was being prepared by the Lord for a while. He works in a Japanese restaurant, and only has one day off per week, so it´s a bit hard to teach him frequently throughout the week (because of this, we have to move his baptismal day one week back (May 22) so that he can be taught everything he needs to be taught. He recently said that he drinks coffee, but he said that it wouldn´t be a problem to quit. We testified of what Nephi said, that the Lord doesn´t give us a commandment without providing for us a way to obey His commandment. He said that he would stop drinking coffee, and this week we are going to finish up explaining to him about the commandments.
