The Castellanos' Family... a future forever family here in Monte Bello
Hey Fam,
We had stake conference yesterday
and my man President Snow and his wife showed up. I hope one day, I can
have a part (in my hair) as sleek and smooth and P. Snow. We all gotta do our
“part” if you know what I mean… I asked him what hair products he uses
but he said it's a secret. Also, we had Elder Todd Hansen from the area
70 come to speak. He's from Cedar City, Utah and he told me he loved the
Hurst Ace Hardware there :) He talked a lot in the Saturday Night Session
about the Sabbath Day and how that is us sending the Lord a message. I'm so
grateful for the guidance my parents gave me growing up about the importance of
keeping the Sabbath Day holy so I could make the right decision when I chose to
not play sports on Sunday. I know I have been blessed spiritually and
temporally for that decision.
So, Juan, Sonia, Miguel, Gustavo,
and Johnny Castellanos got baptized yesterday!!! There was a bunch of ninitos
there from the ward so it was a little hectic but all in all it made for one of the best days on the mission.
Juan, the father, is a champ and shared his testimony at the end of the baptism
too. Their family is pointed to the temple now! #ForeverFamilies They
were sort of the golden investigators. We showed up in their neighborhood
at just the right time and they were outside and we started talking to them and
they let us right in and we taught the Restoration to them. Then the next
day, they came to walk around the temple with us and they have been going to
church activities, reading the Book of Mormon, and attending church since then.
Abby! Congrats on graduation and
your recital sister! I love youuuuuuu!!!
S/O to Talli and Jeremy Poulsen for
taking me and Elder Felix to lunch this week!! I hope you liked the
pupusas!
I also wanna give a special
shoutout to the guy who yelled at us on the street this week saying, "YOU
DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT!" and some other choice words too. It
helped me reevaluate my mission and why I am actually out here. I came to
the conclusion that that guy is
absolutely right I don't have to be doing this! But, I am a disciple of
Jesus Christ and I love Him so this is what I need and want to do. "Shall we not go
on in such great a cause?" -Joseph Smith
“Behold, I am
a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him
to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life.”
I love being able to grow everyday
myself and help others grow too on my mission!
Love,
Elder Faldmo
