Hola Familia!
This week we had a multi-zone conference and so I got to see lots of
friends from the mission. I forgot to mention that my trainer Elder Sierra is
now the Assistant (told you he was good) which makes me feel proud just because
I am his son. And my grandfather, Elder Aguilar, who trained Elder Sierra,
finishes his mission this next week so we got to hear his last testimony and it
was a proud moment for the family. Photo attached.

Several of you asked me what I did on my one year anniversary as a
missionary. Well, Wednesday in the morning at about 1:00 a.m., I woke up with a really
bad case of chills. So, I started off my celebrations for the day by taking a hot
bath and ended up sleeping a few hours in the bath tub because it was too cold
to get out. After that I took a few naps until my fever broke and then we went
to lunch. I still felt absolutely awful, so I slept at the Bishop's house and then
went back to our house to sleep. So I had a great day overall! I didn't get to
teach a single lesson, but at least I got some rest after a year of hard
work!
So I am really grateful for good health! I received a priesthood blessing and
said a lot of prayers that day, and Thursday morning when I woke up, I felt a lot
better! I was able to work all day Thursday and enjoy the Zone Conference as
well. Heavenly Father answers our prayers and has a perfect timetable for
us!
Updates on Investigators:
So hopefully all of you remember Raul who was about to be baptized like 2
months ago...he still hasn't totally resolved his doubt with tithing, but he went
to church yesterday and has done so much to repent! He accepted the invitation
to be baptized this weekend and now just please pray he can overcome his doubts!
Yesterday in gospel principles class, we talked about sacrifice. He said, "I think
God is happier with us when we obey, without fully understanding why He is asking
something of us." It was such a powerful statement from an investigator and we
are really excited for him to be baptized this week!
Nayara Garamendi and Pablo Diaz also went to church and are preparing to be
baptized Saturday! Please pray that everything can go well!
Our converts are great and all of them were at church yesterday which made
me really happy! The work is going so well here and I am excited for the changes
to come!
Love,
Elder Harris
