Share Sean's JOY! -- Here's a quote from last week's letter...
"We're teaching a family, José y Minerva, who will be baptized soon, and I can't wait! - Few things in life bring quite as much joy as does missionary work.
A long time ago I mentioned a Romero family and how I was there when they had their very first Family Home Evening. My trainer, Elder Cole & I taught and baptized one of their daughters, Pricila. A year later Elder Lovelace & I taught their oldest daughter, Dalia - And I even got to go to their temple sealing. The other day Elder Cordoba and I were over at their home for FHE and I reflected for a minute on how different it was from the first time. The Spirit was the same, but the family had changed completely since that first time. The children were quiet and reverent as the message was taught! They all sang along happily to 'Soy Un Hijo de Dios' The father, Ernesto, even said 'Gracias niños, por ser tan reverentes' - Han progresado mucho desde la primera vez. [Thank you children, for being so reverent - They've progressed so much since that first time].
I'm grateful that I got to play a part in the 'mighty change' that has come about in their family. They are now a 'familia eterna' thanks to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and 'the Great Plan of the Eternal God'.
He loves all of His children and he knows how to help each and every one of us. So be sure to reflect that love to those around you and to each other, through your Christlike examples.
LOVE YOU MUCHO,
Elder Sean
