Week 72 baptism of Helio

Well once again we had a pretty awesome and fantastic week here in the
canary islands. Not to much really happened all this week we started
with a great Monday by going and doing some service for people and
then got some last minute stuff done for the Piso and then it was off
to pick up our new comps from the airport so that was good and then we
arrived just in time to make it over to the noche DE hogar with gianis
and claudia family.

Tuesday: we had a lesson with Hen_  today which was really good we
talked a little bit more about the power and authority that comes with
the priesthood. He still has a hard time understanding a lot of things
but he is doing good he has started coming to church each Sunday so
that should start helping him out a little bit more little by little.
But my companion thinks we should stop working with him because he has
slight disabilities mentally. But I can never give up on him because
he has changed my life in ways that no one else could have. And was
also the means of us getting in contact with He_ so he has been a
huge miracle and blessing in my life.

Wednesday: well today we had a great lesson with He_ about the
priesthood and also about the temple. It went really well and when the
ward goes to the temple in June he will be going with them. He also
wants us to start preparing him for a mission and he is going to be
starting a mission prep class so that will be really good and will be
awesome for him to get a little more experience before he goes on a
mission.

Then not much happened until Saturday when we had the baptism for
helio  and man it was one of the best baptismal services that I have
ever had on my mission. The service went well and we had a whole lot of
people that were his friends from capo Verde come to the baptismal
service so that was awesome. And then I was able to  perform the baptism and it went
well on the first try. Then later the Brazilians sang when I am
baptized in portuguese. So that was legit and brought me to tears. Then he
gave his testimony and invited every one to read and pray about the
book of Mormon so that was really good. Well got to go have a great
week every one has a la próxima.
