This week Yara was baptized. Her parents and brother Bryan were
baptized in March and she was so excited to finally have her own special
day on Saturday. Yara comes from a difficult family. Her parents drink
sometimes and her dad was completely drunk every single time we came to
visit them this week. The mom abandons her 5 kids and they do whatever
they want. The family has changed a lot since their baptism, but still
has a little trouble keeping their baptismal covenants and coming to
church. But Yara loves coming to church and always talks about the
things she learns in primary and sings the primary hymns at home. We
were so happy for her for making this commitment with Heavenly Father
and showing her great faith! This week we were really busy and I feel
like this week will be the same. We need to find new investigators this
week so that will be interesting. I'm grateful to see how the gospel has
changed many peoples lives, like Yara's family. It gives me hope that
there are plenty more out there who are ready to accept the gospel and
be happier than ever through keeping the commandments. This is the only
way to TRUE happiness.
