Another Week is GONE

Hello family,

We had a really great week this week! The reason I say it was great is
because we are having a baptism this Saturday!! It's for a kid named
Amado. We have this part member family we are teaching, the nicest
family ever, the mom has been a member for a while and a couple of
months ago before I came to the area her younger son who is 10 got
baptized but Amado who is 12 didn't want to, he has had many baptismal
dates but non of them happened for reasons unknown, anyways this
Tuesday we went over to visit the Pocasangre family and we decided
that we were gonna read a few chapter from the children's Book of
Mormon with them, after we read that we just had a strong feeling to
invite him to be baptized, he has been invited so many times and has
been talked to about baptism so many times, but this time it was
different, so we invited him and he paused and said "yes I would like
to get baptized" it was an awesome experience and we could just see
how happy Yovanni (his little brother who's 10) got, his face lit up
and he had the biggest smile, he has always wanted Amado to get
baptized and has been a really good example to him.

Jeyuri our other person with a baptismal date still is doing really
good, he is getting to know more and more members and he's liking
church more and more and yesterday we actually took him out to go to a
FHE at a members house, we had a good spiritual experience.

So we had a mission tour this weekend with Elder Gong from the 70 and
MAN was it good, on Sunday we all went down to the Temple on 66th
street to have a devotional and the topic was "Always remember him" to
prepare we studied elder gongs talk from a recent general conference
and elder Nelson talk on the sabbath day, the devotion was really
awesome and we all got to meet elder gong and shake his hand and talk
to him a bit, it was a cool experience, the next day we had a zone
conference with just the Bronx zones, so the Olmstead and Kingsbridge
zones, elder gong only wanted to meet with the Bronx zones for a zone
conference so we felt pretty special jaja.

Overall it was a really good week and we learned a lot by the Spirit
of the Lord.

Love,

Elder Pugmire
