Well that's everything for this week. I love you all and remember that in order to be truly happy you have to lose yourself in serving others. Love you!!!

And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
Alma 5:14
Well this week has flown by!! It was the last week of the transfer. Both me and my comp are staying here in Guaymas. But that's what we both wanted to happen because we both want to be here for the baptism we're going to have. On Tuesday we had to go to Hermosillo for a meeting with our mission pres and everyone that's training right now. It was really fun and I learned some neat stuff from our President and his wife. Then, that night we had a family home evening with a member family and we invited Eduardo and his family to come. We had a really good time and we talked about the significance of eternity and what we need to do in this life to be able to live with our family's forever. At the end Eduardo said "I used to think that the only unfix able problem in this life was death but you guys have given me the solution!!!" They're already planning to get sealed as a family in the temple!! Eduardo and his two daughters have always been on board to get baptized, but his wife Araceli wasn't so sure because she's had some things happen in the past and she's had a hard time forgiving. But after the family home evening she asked Eduardo if getting baptized is really something he want's to do and he said yes. So that night she thought long and hard about it and she decided that baptism will help her learn to forgive and start a new page in her life. So, on the 15th their whole family is going to get baptized!!! T hey also came to church on Sunday and they loved it like usual. Now we just have to finish getting them ready for baptism. We're going to have another family home evening with them and a member and everything is going perfect. Another really cool thing is that if they get baptized on the 15th, I'll be able to go to their temple sealing right before I go home!! How cool would that be!!!
Well that's everything for this week. I love you all and remember that in order to be truly happy you have to lose yourself in serving others. Love you!!! -Elder Anderson
