Week 53 (May 22, 2017)

Miguel got baptised!! But sunday afternoon, so he will be confirmed next week. So amazing!

Filling the font :) Freezing cold water haha

This is our leaking house.  So much water.  hopefully we will be able to find a new house...

The blue thing is our cieling and the whole.  They think a pipe broke or something above and dont know/can't find the source of the problem. But its still dripping

Wow, well this week was a good one but as always wasnt perfect. But thats the beauty of this life and the mission. We can always learn from those not so perfect moments and enjoy the good ones :)

Well, Jhonaton had his baptismal interview, but we didnt really feel like he is ready, which he wasnt, but it was mostly just too see where he was spiritual.  And well it doesnt look like he will get baptised this month, but hopefully we will see this next month.  He just has a million questions that dont have to do with the gospel simple. but we are working with him and tried explaining what faith is: not to have a knowlegde of all things, but the have a hope in things that you can not see which are true.  This whole life is by faith. So were not going to have anwsers to ALL of our questions, in this life, but maybe the next. but we must trust god in all things.  We are focusing on the Book of Mormon, because if thats true, which it is, then Joseph smith (who translated it) was a prophet of god, who restored this gospel on the earth again. and this church is true!

Claudia, well she disapeared, never home, and we dont know if she really is on vacation, or her family is lying... we will see.

Miguel got baptised this week!! on Sunday at 4 pm was his baptism service. It was going to be on saturday but his son who lives in the US called our bishop (hes a member) and asked if he would baptise him. Bishop could only do it sunday.. so we did it sunday, and he will be confirmed next week. 

Miguels daughter and sister came to the service and his son, in the US made him a video with his granddaughters saying congrats and that they are so happy for him and Miguel was crying through out the whole service from the love he could feel from everyone. What a special oppertunity it was to be a part that process. He was an eternal investigator and finally made it to the water, but I believe that he will be a faithful member til the day he dies.  I am so greatful to be apart of his conversion.

I know this church is true!! I  LOVE and know and the book of mormon  is true!! I love love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!!!

Love, Hna Smoot

Ps, We find out transfers tonight!!  and we are planning on moving houses because we have a whole in our cieling that leaks water. we came home about 4 days ago and my comps bed was sopping wet.. and so we had to move the beds and it is still dripping water. we told the land lords, but the people wont come until next week... so president said we could move (there were other reasons too, like parties outside really late at night and yelling etc..) but it was just a funny experience.
