We saw several new people accept to baptism including a golden young family that is just eating everything up that we teach them. They are SO prepared that it frightens me actually. There are currently 7 people preparing to be baptized in our ward. 4 mixtecos, two single guys, and one young couple who is legitimisimo. They read and study and mark the scriptures, and after their first day at church yesterday we found him reading and marking his new gospel principles book. They are being blessed as well as they have struggled to come to the gospel with he and his wife finding work, despite the temptations and trials that satan delivers them, the power of the Holy Ghost and Jesus Christ is infinitely more powerful.
Also, ____Ruiz was baptized on Sunday which was a huge miracle, I can't say how many things were working against him, it was an uphill battle all the way but with humble faith in God he is officially baptized, and will be confirmed in one week. It's been great to see the miracles that have been coming upon us here in Othello, it makes me want to live better and be more worthy of the miracles, which is doubtlessly bringing even more miracles. It's like people say, success brings more success, and I believe it. the Lord has been outpouring miracles but it is absolutely certain that it is not due to us. If I took even a part of the credit for what has been and what is occurring here in Othello surely I would be smitten. Thus, we continue to work with a humble fear of the knowledge that the Lord giveth yet he taketh away if we become prideful. The Lord wants the success here, which is what makes it so great. It's like I've said in the past, there is far too much adversity for any sort of success to occur if this wasn't God's work. It's the only answer, literally we can to next to nothing. although we are essential tools, we are not the ones doing the work. It's like giving the drill the credit for building our house. Yeah right, the drill helped but certainly the credit doesn't go to the drill, but to the builder.
