Yuma Territorial Prison Visit with our Zone

What. A. WEEK!! Honestly so amazing. Let me tell you all that Yuma is the promised land! I love it here. And a lot of fun stuff happened....

As I told you all last week, we found out that Mark was going to get baptized! YAY! And he told us that he wanted to get baptized on Wednesday... so we planned a baptism in 2 days, and it was so amazing. I have never felt the spirit so strong in my life than I did at Mark's baptism. And everything leading up to the baptism went so good... almost too good.... so we get to the church, fill up the font, and wait for everyone to get there! Brother Holt, the one who was baptizing Mark, came and asked us - "Where's my baptismal suit?" Uhhh... what? Well we did not know that we were supposed to get his baptism suit. But then Sister Hartley said "oh we'll be right back!" And then we followed her into the kitchen?? I was so lost, and then next thing you know. There's a baptismal suit the perfect size for Brother Holt behind the kitchen door that Sister Hartley had seen 3 months before that. MIRACLE!!!

We had originally asked our Bishop, and Elders Quorum President to give talks and then Mark wanted one of his friends to give a talk over zoom. So we told the Bishop that he was off the hook. So we hear the talk about baptism, and then Brother Wayas goes up to give the talk on the Holy Ghost and he reads to everyone a text message he received from us... it was us explaining how Mark was finally getting baptized, and how Mark wanted him to give a talk on Baptism..... well, we had him down giving a talk on the Holy Ghost. And he called us out in front of everyone, and said "I will be using the Holy Ghost a lot right now to help with this talk." HAHAHA he gave the best talk ever. The spirit was so strong.

But this Miracle truly was amazing. To see Mark enter the waters of baptism, and for all of his sins to be washed way because of his love for our Savior, Jesus Christ.

This week I also hit my one year, and truly what an amazing year it has been. I have loved all of it. I wouldn't want to serve in any other place than Brazil or Arizona. And I wouldn't want to serve any other time than RIGHT NOW! Missionary work is stronger now more than ever before!

Funny story from the week: we are helping our friend to come back to church, and we were teaching him about the Restoration. We asked him - "How do you know God is real?" And he told us... "well... my favorite drink is milk, and I see that God is real because cows drink water, and eat green grass... yet their milk is white. That's. Miracle." Well my friends. God is real because Cows milk is white, and because Mark was able to recieve a remission of his sins and to be on the path to be with God and Jesus again one day.
