Brother Falcon and his daughter, Andre (19): Baptism on 12/30/2018 Great week guys!!! The Falcons got baptized and were confirmed yesterday!!!  Brother Falcon was a lawyer in Mexico. His daughter, Andre, is 19. He and his daughter are so cute. They are best friends, just like me and my dad! Look at Andre's shoes. Aren't they amazing!? She wore them in the baptismal font. Brother Falcon wore his shoes too. Hahaha. I love these people. They are literally a straight blessing from God. We didn't do anything. The Lord just gave them to us. I just got to be here for their first step on the covenant path, and I just couldn't be happier for that. They're going to do amazing things. We are going to work with the mother next. Pray for her.

He and his daughter Andrea have been reading the Book of Mormon and want to be baptized at the end of this month!!!  There are many exciting things happening in this area. We work so hard every single day, and sometimes it's funny how we do everything possible that God asks us to do, and nothing comes from it. But, as recompensa, God gives us a powerful blessing! That teaches me a p...

This email is a week behind. But this last little while has been filled with so many miracles! We had three separate baptisms last Saturday, and it wad the craziest Saturday of my mission. The most wonderful people in the world joined the Lord's true church! 1. Emmanuel Lozano!! He is 9 and has the faith of a stripling warrior. He joined his brothers as a member of the church, and his family is so proud of him! He loves to play soccer and when he was confirmed, his blessing talked about the future mission he would serve. Wow. # futuremissionarystriplingwarri or. He is amazing! 2. Abraham and Karina Quintanilla: they are amazing people! Latina has been bringing her family to church for so long, and she has a goal to take her family to the temple and be sealed. She knew that to do tha...
