It was so awesome, and they're doing so great. They're both so so happy and you can see the weight that's been lifted off their shoulders. They're both beaming and just so excited to be members of the Church, especially Alma. She's been attending for months and she now has more or less what you might call "the official title." But even more, she has the Gift of the Holy Ghost! You can tell she definitely feels it and feels more guided.
Isidro seems way different as well. I think the Baptism has had an incredible affect on him. He seems to be excited about his new found place in the Gospel as well. It was really funny seeing him at the baptism.. he is painfully shy, and after the Bishop had him stand up with Alma so they could see all the new members at the baptism to see their new ward family. He just started cracking jokes, which is what he does when he gets uncomfortable. I also didn't know Mexicans could turn red when they are embarassed, but even they can too it turns out hahaha.
Assiel and Claudia. I don't really know what to say about them right now. They have hit a wall and are really progressing anywhere. We haven't been able to see them for a few days. It's reaching a point where there isn't much more we can do to help them. It's always a personal decision. It's tough because we don't really know what's holding Assiel back from marriage.
Fabiola is super ready to get baptized! She's awesome. Her life has changed so much and her son is obsessed with the primary program! It's amazing to see people find the answers and truths they've been looking to find for years, in many different churches, and then when they find the LDS church everything just comes together and clicks. She's gonna get baptized soon, she just is deciding what she needs to do to resolve her family issues.
We are visiting and teaching a TON of really cool people right now. We are super blessed, because the work is really progressing quickly here and there is a lot to be done and keep us busy.
Also, Apprently two nights ago I was sleep talking in Spanish. I finally made it.
Love
