"We are still working with familia Guardado. What an incredible family! They are for sure going to get baptized! We are marrying them nextsaturday and then the 21st they should be getting baptized, but it all depends on if hermana Marcia has had the baby or not. She could have her baby any day now. When we taught them on wednesday night, we finished talking about there wedding and baptism and then the dad Hector asked "I know that we are going to get married civily, but when can we get sealed in the temple so we can be together forever?"..........WOW! THAT! is why I came to the mission! when he said that i looked at my comp, and then back at them and told them that in a year they will be sealed. What an incredible family. They have changed so much in these past 3 or 4 weeks. They dont have anything!!! Sometimes not even food, but now they have their restored gospel and thats what matters. On Sunday when we went to teach themthe night after church they had not eaten since breakfast. I felt so bad to see the kids all looking sad. Alexa who is five was super tiredand went to her bed super hungry and Hector the dad told her sheneeded to eat a tortilla before she went to bed. So she went over and grabbed a little tortilla, put some salt on it and ate it. I almost cried when i saw that! The next day me and my comp went to their house with a carton of eggs, beans, rice, and a big thing of juice. They were soooooo grateful! In my personal study i was reading in Alma 26 where it talks aboutammon and his bros and there trials that led them to success. I LOVE verse 27: Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst they brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto your success."
love this boy SO MUCH. i am so grateful for the work he is taking part in in El Salvador and for the plan of happiness. God bless the familia Guardado!
