Hello! This week´s been great!
Eliseo Arias and Herlan Tito were both baptized on Saturday!
Herlán was baptized in the afternoon and Eliseo in the night. I
particularly liked Eliseo’s baptism. His whole family are members but he
waited like 25 years or something like
that to be baptized. His grandchildren sang in his baptism and he
cried. He then told us yesterday that it hurts him that he waited so
long to be baptized. It was a great lesson. We´re going to see him again
on Tuesday.
So the gringos already left but on Tuesday. We had a talent
show and a lot of funny stuff happened. One funny thing was that a less
active girl came with her boyfriend who turns out to be from
California.. so we talked in English and had a lesson
with him. He´s really cool... Has a super dirty mouth but besides that
he´s really cool haha.
Another thing that happened in the talent show was
that a Chinese family just showed up in the chapel and took pictures and
videoed the entire thing. We tried contacting them but they don´t speak
Spanish. They actually work with one of
our investigators Ismael in petroleum…how cool! They´re not Christians
and I doubt they´ll take the lessons but it was funny.
Yesterday in church the bishop called me to give my
last testimony to the ward... I couldn´t believe that the moment had
come. I already love this ward and the members. Couldn´t have asked for a
better way to end the mission.
I still can´t believe that this is my last time
that I´m going to write ¨Elder Buma¨ at the end of this letter... All I
can say for now is that I´m so incredibly grateful that I decided to
serve a mission and that I´m incredibly grateful
for the Lord and all of you for supporting me. I know that Jesus Christ
lives and loves us, I know that He will help us in our trials. I know
that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is that true church
of God. I know that the Book of Mormon is
true. I still have much to learn but I know of these things.
Well, back to work, Still got two more days in the field!
Love you!
Elder Buma
