Well first off I have to wish a few people Happy Birthday this week! Happy Birthday Melissa, I hope you have a great day! I love you and miss you! Happy Birthday Dad! It is a big one for you haha! Hope its great, you are the best Dad ever!
This week a lot of great thing happened! We had a follow up training meeting in Provo this past week and I was reunited with my MTC district!!!! It was so great to see Hermana Read, Hermana Sablan, Hermana Derges, and Elder Hodges! It felt like I was reunited with my family again!! Everyone seems to be doing pretty well! Our trainers were in a separate room and us new missionaries were in another room with our mission president, President McCune. He asked us what we learned so far in the mission field and I raised my hand and said learn to trust in the spirit. He looked right at me and said Hermana Garces that is amazing that you said that, we are not alone in this work we have to trust in the spirit, the spirit will lead us the way. Do not ever put yourself down, you are of worth and you are called of God to be here. I almost started to cry when he said because I have been struggling a lot with trusting in the spirit since being out in the field and feeling of worth. Everyday keeps getting better!
So this past Saturday we had our baptism for Eduardo and Carmen!!!!!! It went so well!!! The spirit was amazing! Watching them come out of the water was great, they seemed so happy and they said they felt like a new person! It was such a great day! Then on Sunday they both were confirmed and Eduardo received the priesthood and got a temple recommend! He is so solid! We are going to go with him this week with some members to do baptisms at the temple! He says he wants to go out and teach with us! He's going to be such an example to others! Also Carmen's son went to the baptism and he said he wants to get baptized too so we are going to start teaching him!!
Sorry this is short but I don't have much time! Thanks again for all the love and support and all the mail that I received this week!! You all are the best!
Love,
Hermana Veronica Garces
