Several months ago our former mission president, President Crickmore,
transferred us to a ward called Huehuecalco. From the start we have felt the
inspiration of that move. We’ve been able to help several people, with whom the
Lord brought us together.
On Wednesday, we went to the Mexico City Temple with
Magdalena and two sister missionaries. For a number of weeks, we had been preparing
her by teaching her about the temple and helping her to find some ancestors for
whom she could do the work. We found information for her to do two sets of
grandparents. The tranquility and power of the temple touched her deeply as did
the opportunity to perform baptisms and confirmations for her ancestors,
beginning to the work of uniting an eternal family.
Last night we baptized a woman named Alma. She is the one
that I talked about last week, who had resisted the efforts of missionaries for
several years. Her husband spoke at the service and tears flowed freely as he
told of his many years of prayers and hope for this moment when his family
would now have the opportunity to be sealed in the temple for all eternity.
One of the prime efforts of our missionary work is bring
families together.
