Here are some of the newest members of the church.
Baptisms for the week of 8-14-17

1.



We ran into Araceli´s spouse when we were contacting, he told us that he was a member but that he was inactive, he was alright with us stopping by and visiting them. As we began to visit him we met his wife, who we started to teach. She was very receptive and she began to pray and to read the Book of Mormon and attend church. Now she has been baptized and she wants to continue following the Savior. Now she wants to enter the temple and be sealed to her husband and her children. Thanks to this her husband reactivated and prepared to be the one to baptize her.
Elder Esteban, Elder Velázquez  
Encontramos el esposo de la hermana Araceli en un contacto, él nos dijo que es miembro, pero estaba inactivo desde mucho tiempo y el acepto que pasemos a visitarlo. Pudimos conocer a su esposa, a quien empezamos a enseñar. Ella fue muy receptiva y empezó a orar y leer el Libro de Mormón y a asistir en la capilla. Ahora tomó la decisión de tomar de un bautismo y seguir al salvador. Ahora anhela entrar al templo y sellarse con su esposo y sus dos hijos. Gracias a eso su esposo se activó y se preparó para bautizarla.

Sister Virginia was a street contact in one of the areas that we didn´t have investigators. We thought that she was a member, but as we found out she was not a member we started to teach her. She is really a strong convert to the church, in which she will not separate from, she told us. God gave us the power of finding someone who is prepared to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Elder Anderson y Elder Godínez
