Anyways this week was good! We celebrated on monday whenwe had more time and ate the mini cakes and what not haha it was a good time. My actual birthday we didnt do much...well we worked but yea haha it was a good day. 20!!!! WHAT. haha anyways thursday and friday we were in Juarez to receive the leadership information for the zone meeting. then on friday night we ate with th eMartinez family (maryanna and her sisters and mom) and they surprised me with a mini party and they sang and gave me a box of cookies and cake. haha it was SUPER SUPER nice and they said we are like family to them now haha. it was so cool.
Then on saturday Adrian got baptized finally. Haha this kid is infamous for being stubborn and hadnt wanted to get baptized for the longest time. he has gone thorugh like 5 companionships of missionaries and never has wanted too and he finally got excited and asked me to baptized him and when i baptized him and he came out of the water he said "que chido!!!" which is how cool!!!! hahah it was so cool to see him get excited.
but its going well. Sunday we went to a meeting with all the stake presidents of the mission and Elder Martinez from the 4th quorum of the 70 and we received some cool instruction. He talked alittle about Monson and how he had a hard time on sunday. He said he was there and even though it couldnt be seen, something very touching happened behind the light he said ". I was on the floor, just a few rows from the very front of the Conference Center with a clear view of the scene. You might have noticed that President Monson really struggled to finish the last couple minutes of his talk and especially the last 30 seconds. I was afraid for him. I thought he might faint, pass out, or something worse.
And then, my heart melted when I saw behind President Monson was President Uchtdorf – on the edge of his seat, almost half-way standing up, with his arms stretched out, ready to catch the Prophet at any moment if he fell. You could see the worried expression on President Uchtdorf’s face as well as focused determination. He was on high alert and ready to catch him. As soon as President Monson said “Amen”, President Uchtdorf was immediately at his side and carried him back to his seat, safe and sound.”
I loved that!!
The tenderness that is shown between the prophets and apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ is so pure and powerful. What a beautiful demonstration of love from President Uchtdorf, as he in very word and deed reached out to lift and sustain his friend and prophet Thomas S. Monson. What a beautiful parallel to the love and concern that God Our Heavenly Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ have for each one of us.
“I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.” D&C 84:88 Next time you are going through difficulties, and your afflictions leave you a little wobbly and short of breath, don’t worry if you aren’t able to see anyone by your side, because God has your back!!!
HAve a good week!!! TEAM MEDEIROS!!!
