Hey all,

How is everyone doing?? I am doing wonderful. This last week there was trnasfers but I am still with Hna. Barrios and still in San Felipe, Retalhuleu. I am growing to love this area. I have had 5 baptisms in the last 4 weeks. I am loving the experience of seeing the Spirit go to work. There is no better place to see the Lord's hand in the small and simple things of life.

This week I have seen the love of a parent. There were two kids that weren't baptised. The mom is an inactive member and the dad isn't a member. He works in the capital and only comes home every two weeks. The mom didn't want to let the kids get baptised for fear of her husband. But as she looked them in the eyes and thought about the example she would set by not letting them follow Christ, she gave permission for them to be baptised. I am so glad the the Lord touches the hearts of His children.

I know without a doubt that as adults, teachers, parents, etc. we are in charge of teaching the little ones. If they do not learn while they are little they will be hard to change when they are older. In Proverbs 22:6 is states that we are to teach out kids when they are little and they will not be lost as adults!! I believe this 100%. :D Do all that you can to teach the children you know how to apply the gospel in their lives. Because without application, it doesn't work.

I love you all!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and moms to be!!

Love,

Hna. Pelaez
