Hey guys! This email isnt going to be super long but I justed wanted to let you guys in on somethings that happened this week. My last week in Caborca was a great one. We baptized 4 people and confirmed 5 people on Sunday. It was truly a miracle. Last week I talked a little about Satan and his tactics that he uses. This week we say ALOT of that again with the baptisms. Our first convert that got baptized is named Ximena. For a long time her mom didnt give her permission to be baptized and finally her mom gave it too us after MONTHS of waiting. On the way to her baptism, a man almost hit us in his car on the way (I have it recorded) and at the other baptism with Esmeralda and Yolanda their sister came and she is crazy. She literally was making a huge deal of everything in the baptismal service and was acting like a little girl. However, we were able to have success. I am truly grateful for all that I have learned in Caborca. I am not going to lie it is a hot, dusty, and run down place but Heavenly Father was able to teach me a ton and humbled me a lot. I was able to make friendships that will last forever. I love Caborca. I truly feel satisfied for all that I could accomplish in Caborca. We ended up baptizing 16 people in this transfer! All of it was made possible thanks to our Heavenly Father.
