Baptism of a family of three!
The reason Elder Stoor is getting fat! Full Fridge!
Rio Panuco! I have lived next to this river for more than half my mission as it has passed through 2 of my areas! The only problem is its super dirty.....
Well this will be a general letter as I am out of time to
do anything but write on the blog so I hope I can answer the questions and get
out a little explanation of what and how I am doing!
I am still in Panuco and things are going great! I now have
4 almost 5 changes here or 6 months and well it’s been a blast!
What is happening here is I have been called as the missionary
leader for Panuco and its made things
interesting. There are 2 branches here
and of the 2 they both struggle a lot so we are working for better Branch
councils and also have better services, retention ect. It has been hard as well because I have
doubled my work. It has helped me learn
A lot more patience as well as how to cope with stress}. But it’s been good
and I have been learning a ton! hahah
for those of you who know what Manual 2 is that is given by the church I think
I have the book almost memorized because of all the trainings I have given to
the Branch and the District haha!
But anyways as seen in the photos we had three Baptisms
this week and it’s a great family! We hope to see lots of progress with them
and well we hope as well to see many more baptisms soon!
This week has been full of revelation and well some good
experiences. Here in Mexico just about everyone is Catholic and because of that
everyone believes in God and well that helps a lot when teaching. However for
the same reason I have no Idea how to teach someone who doesn’t believe in God.
We tried to teach someone that doesn’t have that core belief and even thought I
turned out horrid.. like bad enough to make a believer not believe... haha ...
he turned up in church and at the baptism and now is a believer! haha cool
experience.
But anyway this week in church there was a focus on
church history. It is amazing to see the sacrifice of all the members in the
past. The United States isn’t the only
one where the saints have suffered . I believe every country has their own
story and I got to know a little about
the story of Mexico and the Church. But something that is common and found in
the church no matter where you go in member’s past and present in Consecration.
The one thing God has given us that he cannot take away is our will. The right
to follow or not to follow, to act or not to act, believe or not to believe. It’s
also the only way we can truly show our love and devotion to God and our
Savior.... so I invite you to watch the video that is Linked below and to think
what it is that your holding back from our God
have a great week and love you all!
