A highlight of our mission, without a doubt
was seeing our contact, Edgar Jarrin
baptized on Saturday, June 13th.

| Presidente baptizes a very happy Edgar Jarrin |
We met him and his mom
while walking in the morning and his mom, Iris, asked us where we were from and
why we were here. We are quick to share
our purpose in being here with anyone even remotely (or not) interested. Within a couple weeks, she asked us to pray
for her friend’s daughter. That led to
blessings, visits, and continued conversations in the early mornings as we
passed each other. Edgar was the one who
asked us “Where our Church was?” Now,
that is a question we like! We invited
them in February and they’ve been regulars at Sacrament Meeting ever
since.

| Edgar shares his joy and testimony |
Edgar said he wanted a “sign”
before being baptized in one breath, while in the other asking “Why is it that
every time I read the BOM, I feel this heat and warmth inside?” When he understood how the spirit works, he
knew he had his answer.

He was confirmed
on Sunday by our assistant, Elder Santana, and is so happy. There truly is no greater joy.
