Elder Ryan Horton: #blessings

Buenos dias/buenas tardes a todos

Hi guys! Good morning (from me) and good afternoon (to all you).

This week my companion Elder Lopez and I have seen a lot of blessings come from our hard work, obedience, and giving our hearts and wills to the Lord. He is changing me as much as he is changing the hearts of those we work with.

One person's heart who was changed this past week was Iris, who entered the waters of baptism. I had the privilege of baptizing her and then participating in her confirmation. What a sweet experience it was to see her enter the fold of God!

Other hearts are changing. One is our friend named Crystal. She has been reading the Book of Mormon diligently, praying, and attending church and she plans to be baptized this coming Saturday. She is very excited, and we are for her too. She has shown us how she has been highlighting the verses she likes, and we can see how she is repenting of her sins and wrongdoings. She is excited to be baptized and recieve that fresh start.

Another friend of ours, Ramona, recently set a goal to be baptized on the 24th of this month. She has met with the missionaries for a very long time and we believe that she is finally ready to take that big step!

we are seeing so many miracles in this area we have been assigned to. I know it's no coincidence because this is the true church. The Gospel of Jesus Christ- his pure teachings- have been restored to this earth and anyone who wants to know that for themself can open a Book of Mormon, read, ponder, and pray about the message it contains. Those who do that will gain a powerful witness that Jesus is their Savior and that he is still speaking to us. His word did not end with the sealing of the Bible. I know that.

Thanks for all the love you are showing to me and to the other missionaries in the world. It's not easy, but it's rewarding.

Con Amor,

Elder Horton
