Another excellent week here in Insurgentes with my dominican son, Élder Amancio!
Wednesday we unexpectadly got a call from our beloved bishop saying a boy in the ward had just turned 8 and needed to be baptized. So instead of having 1 baptism this week as planned we got to have 2!...not really because Wednesday´s baptism was a nño inscrito, but anyway, my trainee, Élder Amancio got to baptize him for his first baptism in the mission so that was cool.
Saturday, I was priviledged to baptize our investigator, Oscar, and Élder Amancio confirmed him on Sunday! The baptismal program was great, the primary sang and welcomed Oscar into the ward and after it all, the Spirit touched Oscar enough that he began to cry! The Gospel had already helped him mature so much in the little time I´ve had to know him, and his mom, Monica, loves having us over. We´ve started to visit with Oscar´s older less active older sister and her nonmember boyfriend, but it´s a bit frustrating because the boyfriend is genuinely interested, but the hermana has turned atheist and totally kills the vibe in our visits. Honestly, if people would just look at who the apostles and president of the Church are right now and realize that they´re a million times too wise and intelligent to be tricked into believing in a God and a church organized by a young farm boy. This Gospel is true! Faith isn´t ignorance or blindness.
Anyway, I hope everyone is good! Love you all! Love when you write!!! Until next week.
Love,
Élder Tucker
