OK, first and foremost, another baptism! There’s a member of the church here who is a returned sister missionary. She has a boyfriend that at first was coming to church because of her. But two weeks in a row she was in San Pedro, and he came by himself. So this last Tuesday we taught him for the first time, and I felt the spirit to challenge him the first day to get baptized last Saturday. And he accepted excitedly. We taught him everything during the week, and he understands and loves and has a large testimony of the church. But when the branch president interviewed him Friday night, he couldn’t tell him that he felt ready to get baptized. So they postponed the date for May. Saturday night we visited him so he wouldn’t get discouraged--just talking about this and that, not really teaching, and he asked what Roni had told us (branch president). We talked about how he felt and he told us, "If we could talk to Roni right now could I get baptized tomorrow (Sunday)?" So we went to talk to Roni, and he got baptized and confirmed yesterday. I baptized him, and he reminds me of Cesar (from my other area).
Eddy is going to be a leader in the church here in Roatan, and in a year there’s gonna be a marriage and sealing in the Guatemala temple! So the great news is that I know why I came here, and that I can now leave feeling good about the work I’ve done here. And, yes, I am leaving. I have a change. Tomorrow I go back to the coast to stay, and Wednesday I’ll find out where I’ll be going from here. I don’t understand why the Lord wants to change me so often, but there’s no problem. So that’s all the news. We'll see where I end up.
Love ya!
