Transfers and Baptisms

 Whats going on everyone! This week we had transfers and im finally leaving San Felipe! Im leaving San Felipe to be the finance secretary of the mission! Hopefully itll be a fun next few transfers and i hope to learn a lot! Also, Marco got baptized! He is the son of a member and after 6 months of trying to get him to be baptized he finally did in my last week in San Felipe! What a miracle!

Work:

This last week was really crazy with a lot of goodbyes and a ton of basketball! I had the opportunity to paint a house for one of our recent converts which was awesome! (Also got to watch some March Madness with them it was amazing haha i miss watching the games!) On thursday after we finished painting the house we had a basketball game that was super fun! On saturday i got invited to play in a basketball event and president said i could! We were able to contact people inbetween games and it was awesome playing against really good competition again! That was about it for working this week😂 we visited a bunch of members and converts and i gave a talk in church so i was able to give my last testimony in San Felipe after living there for 6 months!

Spiritual thought:

With general conference and easter coming up this week i want you all to study into the atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ. We have an amazing opportunity to listen to prophets and apostles this week and their divine words of revelation. With Easter as well we often lose sight of what Jesus Christ did for us and just how much he took upon him. One of my favorite scriptures about his atonement comes from Alma 7: 11-13 

I encourage you all to read and study it this week. This scripture has impacted me out here on the mission more than you all will ever know and the power from this scripture doesn't happen by chance. I love you all and hope that these scriptures can deepen your testimony of the atonement of Jesus Christ as they have done for me!
