Enedina and Alicia

Everyone,

Hey! So still no baptism... We had the interview last week though with
Enedina who is going to be baptized THIS week. We hope. She is
honestly a miracle all in one. Through the experience teaching her its
taught me about service, patience, God’s influence in the lives of
EVERYONE even those who aren’t members or whatever. God 
prepared us to find her and to receive our message. She’s actually 
excited for her baptism. She has a mountain of family problems
especially with her husband right now and is just looking to 
get away. She sees baptism now as she should as a help for 
her in everything.

Anyways another lady we met this week was Alicia. They call her Dona
Licha. She was a reference from a member from like over a month ago.
when I sent those pictures of me by like a countryside was when we
went the first time to look for her but then this week we called her
up and went with her too. She’s really cool and I’m pretty sure she will
get baptized. She went to church yesterday and we visited her after
and cleared up some questions she had about it. It was super cool.

Well today is the last day of President Kusch! Super weird. I’ll see
him again but it’s just weird that he’s leaving. Today we get President
Avila from Guanajuato or some state like that. Ill meet him Wednesday.

I hate this internet.. I just finished this and it erased it.

So basically the mission until the new president gets here will be
kind of confused. He won’t know us yet but I know he’s gonna come with
some cool ideas and it will be good.

So I saw on lds.org that supreme court decision on gay marriage.
Honestly it was predicted. The constitution was an inspired document
but just like the bible being handled without prophets was changed the
same has happened with the constitution. I was reading in Mosiah this
last week and I liked a part that talked about the organization of the
reign of the judges. The purpose was that there would be no one to
oblige them to do what’s right and that every person would be
responsible for their own decisions. That’s kind of how I saw the
churches reply to it. The church won’t baby us or force us to do what’s
right. We will be taught what’s right and expected to follow what we
are taught but have the choice not to.

Anyways this last week went well. We had a lot of people in church and
are seeing progress. 

I love you all! Keep the prayers going. Have a good week!!

Love Elder Marrott
