Maribel and Estefani's Baptism

                                                                                                    February 19, 2018
Hey Gang!
 
Carnaval was good, thanks for asking! We made fruit smoothies, ate achachairu, (the most beautiful fruit on the face of the planet) and read A LOT of scriptures. It was a good break, but we were really happy to be working again on Wednesday!
 
Maribel and Estefani's baptism was great and they were both very happy! Maribel felt the Spirit stronger than she ever had which was a huge blessing! She said that she felt something marvillous and indescribable and I was so happy she could feel AND recognize the Spirit that night!
 
 
One family we are working with is Familia Ibarra Martinez! Their three young children were baptized about a year ago and go every week, but the parents weren't baptized because the Dad has to be divorced from a previous wife before they can get married! But they fasted with us as a family last Sunday and we are working with the Branch to help raise money for the divorce and subsequent marriage! They have very little, but are so dedicated and excited to make their family eternal!

Other than that, we are working with a few great young people, one who is named Julian. We found him this Thursday and he is just awesome! You feel so happy and positive when you are around him and he learns the gospel with a thirst and excitement that I have never seen before! He went to church on Sunday and had accepted to be baptized on March 3rd, but sadly, yesterday he left for Peru to run track! We will miss him and it was a very short lived friendship, but we at least planted a seed with him!
 
Oh and transfers! Elder Perriton is leaving and going to Villamontes.
Picking up investigators for church just got 10 X better!
The Zone leaders won't be here in Yacuiba any more which will be kind of strange for me to get used to. But I still get to be District leader which is fun and my new companion is Elder Vasquez from Peru!
A picture of "the Crew" before our transfer. I will miss Elder Perriton!
I am pumped for a great transfer, Yacuiba is the best and it looks like March will be a great month for us!

Love,

Elder Harris
