Wow, what a great week in the Mexico Cuernavaca Mission! Arturo Flores was baptized and confirmed this weekend!!! The baptismal program went great, and I had the privilege of performing the ordinance.
One of the reasons that this baptism was so special was because it was one of the few times that I had gone through the entire process of finding, teaching, and baptizing with the same companion. Elder Bonilla and I have been stoked! It was also cool because it was so fast, hahaha. Arturo is 57 years old and had never really been very religious before we found him. He also even used to struggle with the word of wisdom. But after a member family invited him to a noche de hogar that we had in their house one night, he started listening to us, believing, and making the necessary changes in his life to be able to be right with God. This and other experiences that I have had with converts in the mission has increased my faith that they are many amazing children of our Heavenly Father ready to accept the Gospel, we just need to find them. So many of the mexican people have the extraordinary gift of being able have faith in their Savior Jesus Christ. Maybe for that Mexico is the country with the second most members in the whole world!
In other news, I got a new companion, Elder Vakapuna! His family currently lives in West Valley, Utah, but he is originally from Tonga. Finally! I've always wanted a Tongan comp. He´s the most easy going, cool guy you've ever met. I´m excited to be working with him hear in the offices. Elder Bonilla is currently training him to be the finance secretary right now and then he´ll be headed off to a new area.
I also had to do a couple tramites this week in migracion for some foreign missionaries but the changed places to this private airport in the middle of nowhere hahaha. It´s in this place called Temixco. I didn't even know there was an airport in the mission. And it´s kinda in the middle of the jungle lol. anyway, good times.
Hope everyone´s good, enjoy the pictures and have a good week!
Love,
Élder Tucker
