| Julian's Baptism |
Julian
Lara (Juan's younger brother) was baptized on Saturday. When Juan was
getting taught Julian did NOT want to be a part of it. Was he being a
slight stink? ...mm, perhaps. *shrug* A few weeks after Juan was baptized
though, he told us that he wanted to be baptized as well. Okay. So the
change that we saw in this little 9 year old boy the weeks following has
really been incredible. He was pretty sour and was always yelling at
his brothers while we were there and such. Well, the atonement has
become pretty real for me once again through this little guy. He really
does always have a grin now, and those boys get along so well. One of
the brothers even says something rather snarky, and he doesn't even say
anything back now. Bishop confirmed him yesterday and he promised Julian
that he would serve a full time mission. I wasn't there because I was
on FT. Sill, but Sister Cox told me about it. I couldn't help but begin
to cry. How incredible will that be? It's wonderful to see Heavenly
Father's beautiful plan for all of his children. How we were blessed to
be able to help this family, and then these precious boys are going to
go out into the world and change other's as well with the fire that they
have for this gospel in their own hearts. It gives me chills.
I
need to go, but I love you all! some pics, you are one odd duckling of a
church around here if you don't have a 'church bus'. I'm tellin ya,
everyone has them. And then the random cross the size of the Christus in
Rio.
Have a great week!
