TEMPLE with the Garcia Family!

December 17, 2018

We had an awesome week!

Although it didn’t start off too well, because a sister missionary from our zone went home for a month for health reasons. We now have 8 missionaries in the zone. Hermana Plata and Hermana Donoso are like Sister Leaders and Elder Hernandez and I have been the Zone Leaders for 4 weeks!

—Invasion in Los Lojas!—

So this week we went to Los Lojas because the Elders from the Aurora, Elder Freeman and Elder Pineda are working there now are contacted a bunch of people and afterward we played some group games while we waited for the bus.

—The Garcia Family from Samanes got SEALED!—

Wow! So recently missionaries havent’t received permission to go the temple for a sealing of their converts. And guess what! I got permission! So Saturday we went down the temple after eating bolones and really sour orange juice, and we got to be there in the sealing of Jaime and Ana and their two boys Ezekiel and Tiago! They are so awesome, Elder Tafur was there!!! He came back from Perú! How amazing! Wow I had never gone to a sealing in my life before! Wow that was such a powerful experience. So holy, I swore my heart was on FIRE. Afterward we got to see so many people from the Samanes Ward, Like Sahiana and Gabriel (Converts) and Carla, all family of the Garcia Family! I am super happy!

—Also Nativity Scene—

In Samborondon we are are helping people build a nativity scene!

Atentamente,

Elder Wilhelm
