This week Jesus got babtised!! Jesus was an investigador that was born ready!! His mother named him Jesus because he was a miricle baby! He almost died at birth and so did his mother but they both lived!!  We found him because a member came to church on new years with this kid!! He is just a stud all he wants to do is obey God!! He is a little loco tho !! haha but thats alright he is 19 and really wants to go on a mission!! His family doesnt even want to talk to us and that is a little hard for him because he goes to church and sees families their.  But he has the determination to help them, his little sister is the only one that listens to him and he is helping her read the book of mormon.  I really know that this Church is true i know that a real prophet leads it!!  Im absolutly positive that God and Jesus Christ came to Joseph Smith to call him as a prophet. I know that Revelacion is real and i know that if you have not come to knowledge that this church is true its because you have never asked!! (2 nephi 32:4) 

 

I asked who everyone is...Elder Contreras is on the left, then Jesus, then Caleb.  One of the other two is an investigador named Joseph!! he is awsome. i think he felt somthing really strong when he saw Jesus get babtised.  We just have to get him new freinds. luckly in Guayquil this ward is great!! they are such studs.  We had a invacion on sunday, the whole ward got together to contact!! We got 50 references only in the sector!! these guys are nuts about the missionary work!! they have a ward goal of 50 babtisms!!

I asked if the sister missionaries are still in his sector... yes they are super great!! one is from Colombia and the other from Utah. there are a ton of sisters here from Utah!! I never knew the sister from PG but the one i was in the MTC with already went home. Im old :(

I asked if Jesus's mom came to the baptism...no i was really upset about that!! he didnt want to tell his mom that he was getting babtised so he didnt tell her ugh. i hope she doesnt get mad, hes 19 so he can make his own decision.  I even told him about your experience about joining the church.  He should really tell his mother. and yes its a giant moth.  btw, we didnt tell his parents cause his parents hate us or somthing.  they run from us and never give us a chance to talk to them

The giant MOTH!!

I asked if he had visited any other cities this week...We had Zone conferences here in Guayaquil this week!! it was fun.  Elder Conteras and i taught about the importance of finding youth!! turns out most of the general athoraty 70 were babtised from 9 to 25 years old!! there is a big pattern.

 

well i have to go i love you guys sorry i cant answer all of your questiones. 

 

Here are a couple more pics just for fun!
