Seth sent more pictures this time, with an obvious focus on people who are special to him.

This is Bishop Lala, the bishop of the ward where they are serving.  Here is what Seth said about him. "He's a convert and is a great servant of the Lord."

This is the Tello Galvez family. "They are one of our greatest companions in this work. They will stop absolutely anything to serve us and often do."

This is Hermana Marlene and family. "She is the example of who we should be after our mission. She walks with us and assists us with appointments. She has provided her washer to us and is constantly searching for references for us. She often also supplies beverages and foods, and in general is an example of how we as missionaries should serve."

Lupita and Dora "They serve us a lot, and help us with lessons. They are about to move though."

And the highlight of the week...

Elizabeth (obviously dressed in white) was baptized on Saturday. Here are excerpts from Seth's report. "I was privileged to perform the ordinance, and was blessed to not have to do it twice. It's interesting to do a baptism because we did the service, and off we went teaching lessons and serving without delay. I believe this helps us be humble to realize that this is the Lord's work, and really the successes are not ours. Elizabeth was a little nervous to do it, but all is well, and she is continuing onward."

Missions consist of many highs and many lows.  Elizabeth's baptism was a high. Here is Seth's report of a low..  "A sad thing happened yesterday though, and Victor, who suffers with addictions, out of the blue told us that he isn't going to continue lessons, and he offered to give back all the material he had read and everything. We were shocked when he told us this, and we still don't know the reason why. He said he hadn't violated any of the commandments when we asked him, and we are thinking it might be his family or girlfriend. But we are going to visit him more."

Here is one of the testimonies Seth shared. "I am receiving more and more every day a testimony of the covenants in the temple, and I can truly testify that they are from God. I learned that to the degree that we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for the Kingdom of God, God can bless us even more with His power and knowledge."
