Gilberto is officially Mormon!! And has the beginnings of an eternal family! :) I think Barbara will come around within the next couple of months.
Saturday was a good day! We did all the final preparations for the wedding/baptism, Got to the church at about 2, made copies of the program, filled the font, set up chairs, and then everyone started showing up at about 345.
the wedding went well, then Gilberto went and changed, came back in the room and we started the baptismal service. everything went very smoothly.
After the baptism, we had cake and then headed to Gilberto's house for a fiesta! We spent the rest of the night over there just eating, talking and dancing. ( After all, They are Mexican).
Yesterday, about 10 minutes before church started, The choir director asked If I would Help sing in sacrament... YAY:/ it was High on a Mountain Top, So it was easy. It went well and I feel like it sounded good. there was only one guy with bleeding ears after. haha just kidding.
As far as the rest of the week goes, nothing too special happened. We played basketball with all the Border patrol guys on Thursday. That was fun!
Before I go, I just want to testify of eternal families. I know they are a real thing, We REALLY can live with our family forever. In the presence of our Heavenly Father.
Eternal Families are the reason I'm on a mission. I have felt the joy of knowing I will be with m family forever, And I want to bring others to the knowledge of the truth. I left my family for a short time so that others could be with their family forever. I love all of you and I look forward to hearing from you! transfers are next week so I'll let you know what happens. love ya! -Elder Taylor Alston
