"Happiness, Peace, and the feeling that God is with me"

We have awesome news! Silvia was able to resolve some of her concerns and was baptized yesterday! The beauty of how she felt throughout the whole process leaves no doubt that the Holy Ghost was working in her life. She has such a strong and humble testimony of God's merciful and loving hand in her life and will no doubt continue and a wonderfully strong disciple of Jesus Christ in the years to come. We met with her yesterday to talk about her next steps, and she has such a fire to check learning and progressing. All she wants to do is act on the feelings she's felt. I'm so grateful to see such faith and discipleship.

That's about all I have for this week! I would also like to wish a late and very happy Mother's Day! I'm honored to be the son of a wonderful mother who serves as my best example, teacher, and model of an exemplary person. It is much thanks to her that I can be here and spread the message of joy that has been the theme of her life. I'm so grateful for her constant support and love, and hope that all the mothers recognize the good they are doing. The trust that God has in you to give you such a calling is certainly not misplaced. Love you a ton.
