Week 85

Special spirits!!! Love them all....

well the Mauricio Gonzalez family got baptized on Sunday, just like they had planned! i have to say it was an experience of a lifetime, one that i will never forget! We started the day with the wonderful spirit of 4 clean souls willing and ready to take the reigns and move forward into the waters of baptism. Watching them make this covenant made me come to an even stronger understanding of something this week, the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ.  it was amazing to see these 4 children of God make the decision to not only follow Chirst and be baptized, but also to apply the Atonement to their lives.  I have see in them the power of the atonement do its work and help them repent and better their lives! Then it carroed over into our sacrament meeting, where they receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.  It was an unforgettable experience, the Spirit was so strong and beautiful! it was even more perfect because it was Easter Sunday and we also had an opportunity to share our testimonies. It was honestly amazing, from the baptism, to taking the sacrament, where i saw why the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave His life for weak people like me, so that we can literally feel his love and come unto him! 

He really loves us and thats why he did it!:) so that the Mauricio family, all of you and I can feel the Joy of theAtonement in our lives! 

We also had a sweet activity as a ward, where we made a mini Jeruslem and acted like the people who had the miracles happen in their life with Jesus Christ! it was a great experience to see  and feel the spirit of the testimonies of the people who acted! it was awesome and good activity for sure !

Elder wagner

Got a special message from a member in Tanner's current ward:  

I just wanted to thank you for all the effort, teachings and example that you and your husband had set in order to help Elder Wagner to obtain such strong testimony of our Savior. Your son is not only a great missionary, he is an amazing person. He has blessed many lifes already, but right now he is blessing in such a great way in our ward.  He is working really hard serving the Lord with all his heart.  

Last night him and Elder Muñoz were at our home... "Elder Muñoz farewell dinner"  here are some pics 

In case you were worried.... We are taking care of him, so please, don't!  Also, he had the great idea to have this activity in our ward to remember the Savior's life and miracles... It was pretty awesome. 

We are hoping he stays in our ward for more than another transfer.  He is a blessing to us and I'm pretty sure you and your family and receiving many blessings because of his hard work.  Thank you
