So we've been working with the San Miguel's for a while and
it's been so so so cool. Bro San Miguel wants to be baptized to join his family
and ultimately be sealed to them for eternity. We're preparing them for his
baptism, but there are some hurdles that we've had to go through.
This week we
had to teach them about the Word of Wisdom, the standard of how members of the
Church of Jesus Christ take care of their bodies, mainly through abstaining
from things like alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, and coffee and tea.
Sister San
Miguel loves tea so so so so much. She straight straight told Brother San
Miguel when they got married that if he forced her to quit drinking sweet tea
she'd divorce him. Of course this is probably a bit of a hyperbole but she
loves sweet tea and it's basically the only thing she drinks.
So we're
teaching the lesson and it's going smoothly and the Spirit is strong. We ask
them to make the lifestyle changes necessary for baptism and to enter a holy
temple and they excitedly said yes. Afterwards, they both were like "yall
know how like some lessons are better and more enjoyable than others? Yeah,
this one has been our favorite". So legendary. We were just telling them
of things they need to change and stop doing and they loved it. Now instead of
being willing to divorce Brother San Miguel rather than give up sweet tea,
Sister San Miguel is giving up sweet tea so she can be with him forever. Gotta
love it.
Please pray for the following friends this week: Ricky,
Janet, the San Miguel's, and Helen.
Have a blessed one
Elder Cummings
