So this week was a little crazy, but
ended really well. Surprise, surprise… I was sick again this week. I had an infection
in my throat. They first thought I had dengue again because I had a really high
fever, but it just ended up being a strong infection in my throat. So therefore,
I am getting shots every day for 5 days in the behind.... the one thing I don’t
like about Campeche is the doctors.
On Wednesday we went to Merida to go
to immigration because I’ve been here for one year now and I had to sign some
papers. I got to see Hermana Hoggan and
that was really fun! I love seeing her! We also got to see a few others of my
friends here and that was good! When we came back we were able to go out and
work a little bit, but almost no. We were able to see the people we have that
are progressing so that was good!
On Saturday we had this night that
was called “night of white”. It was a huge baptism of 18 people in the stake
that got baptized. And Dafne was able to get baptized and it was so great! I
was really happy for her and she just looked so cute! She was just smiling so
big the whole time; she was very nervous, but she did it with lots of excitement
and bravery! I really do love this little girl, she’s just got a huge heart and
a strong spirit, and she is a really good example to me. Every time I am able
to see someone get baptized it is just the biggest confirmation for me that
this church is true, and that I know these people are taking a huge step and
are making such a great promise to the Lord and the blessings they will receive
are life changing.
On Sunday we were able to go and
watch the dedication of the Mexico City temple!
We also got to watch the cultural event and it was really pretty. It
talked about when the church came to Mexico and how they all had to go to Arizona
to get to the temple and when they got one here in Mexico it was a huge
blessing for them. In the dedication Elder Holland spoke and it was so
powerful! He spoke about family history and how we are the saviors for our ancestors.
He can really bring the spirit in! This made me really excited for conference that’s
coming in less than a month!
Well in all of the craziness in this
week we were still able to receive and witness great blessings here. I know the
Lord watches over us every moment we are here and that he wants us to succeed
in everything we do! Eric - I am so
excited for you and for the growth your family will receive through your new
calling as Bishop! I know your ward will be blessed and that they will learn a
lot from you! Felicidades Hermano!
Thanks for getting married mom and
dad, and for not stopping at 5 kids so I could be here! Love you all so much
and hope that you all have a great week! I love hearing from you all so
much!...you too Tia... Count your blessings and love every day with your
family!
Les quiero mucho!
Hermana Velasquez
