1/12/15 Transfers came!

We handed Rosalinda her towel and then waited until she was ready to come back out for the closing song of the baptismal program. Before coming out she gave us a big kiss on the cheek and a big warm hug and said, "Thank you so much for everything you have done! I hope I never lose you." I knew that we had made a lasting connection and I told her that we would always be there for her. I sat back down for the closing song and thought, "I have done nothing. The Lord and Rosalinda made this experience possible." It is so true! I feel like we go on a mission, and focusedly wander around inviting everyone to make the decision to come closer to Christ and then they decide to come and they make all of the changes necessary.  And then God blesses us with the opportunity to participate and watch it all happen.  It is beautiful.  Zack's baptism was equally beautiful.  It was a big day for Zack's family because they have a tried a few times before to help him be baptized, and this time it finally happened and the family is returning to church.

     Ashley Prather and Gabriela got confirmed as well.  Slowly, but surely Ashley's family are all coming to Heavenly Father's fold. Keep praying for their family.  It was a great week, and I'm happy to announce that I'm staying here in Rio Hondo with Sister Sarmiento.  Sister Barton is getting transferred to my greenie area! So sad but happy. 

Love,

Sister Campbell
