Transfers Keep Me Where I Have Been

HHHEEEYYYY! Elder Brown Here!! (Still)

Elder Hilario and Elder Brown
Still in Bugambilias. Elder Hilario left to be companion to Elder Valdetano (remember him? from Bahia and Alisos) in San Luis. I'm super excited for them. They'll have a TON of success. The funny thing is that Elder Worman (my present companion) just came from being Elder Valdetano's companion. We just had a companion swap. :)

Bugambilias keeps getting better and better. I'm suuuuper excited to see how things go.

Last week we had a baptism, well, more like forty, because the 8-year-old kid (A*) just couldn't get all the way under!!! That was quite the adventure! :) Seriously though, he was baptized more than 20 times. his older brother, C*, also got baptized. their mom is M*, a less-active member. she started coming to church more consistently, and we baptized the kids. The hard thing with her is that her husband doesn't want much to do with us.. . .

Who knows how, but even though he doesn't like us that much he decided to go to a stake dance. It was rather exciting hearing that. :)
Elder Brown and Elder Cronin (both trained by Elder Ruiz)

I'm here in Bugambilias working hard. :)

Your Ticket to Heaven

Lst week we had a baptism. her name was C*. It was realy cool. She had already come to church the week before I got here and since the beginning wanted to get baptized. after we gave her the pre-interview, we asked her, "C*, you now know EVERYTHING you need to know to be baptized, to be a member, and to enter the Kingdom of God. When do you want to get baptized?" How great is that?! every baptized member officially knows EVERYTHING they need to to get into heaven!! Every baptized member HAS THE TICKET to heaven. not just that, but every baptized member has permission to bring heaven down here, has the RIGHT! to experience it.

Thanks to Elder Hilario (he baptized her) C* now has permission, has the RIGHT to heaven. this is the priesthood's power.
