Hey good family.
Well I felt like I wanted to explode this week. We
finally got the Familia Guerra baptized this week. What a super tough
experience. I think I know what you mean mom when you were writing me about the
stress in planning a wedding. We had to organize everything. We had to divide
the ward in teams to decorate the church, help her get ready, people to go the
municipality to finalize the papers, and then someone to cook food, and the
cake, and to get them from point A. to point B. and then we had to have music
and lights. We had to get the baptismal clothing ready and the fount filled and
then we had to talk to all of the invited guests so that some other day we can
go out and teach them and then we went flying to visit some other people in the
night time.
We had
the wedding at 11:00 in the morning in the district build, then we came to the
church to start the baptism at 1:00 and then we had a small but lively
reception until about 5:00 right after the baptism ended. Looking back, I am
super happy with all of the work that we did in getting the family ready, but
in the moment, I was super stressed out. I just wanted everything to go according to
plan. I think that I have learned a pretty valuable lesson. 1. That I am really
going to have to plan my own wedding way ahead of time and I need to think of
how I can help others work happily, and 2. I have to find a really good
looking, spiritually strong young lady that will be able to pull through. I
think that weddings are really happy and really stressful. Well I’m super happy
to show you all of the pictures the day events. I will be sending some pictures
little by little for next couple of weeks. Thank you for sending me the Easter
package. I haven’t gotten it yet of course but at least I can say thanks.
Well how
nuts is that Garrett is back. I know that in 6 months, we are going to have a
super crazy big party and we are all going to laugh together with lots of hugs
and stories and then more laughter and then we will go to sleep. Then we will
start up again the next day. Don’t wait up for me I still got a lot of time to
go.
I am going to do
my best to achieve my goals. I am going to try to do everything in my power to
get those people that I don’t know yet to the waters of baptism so that they
can receive the celestial glory.
Well
anyway I am super happy right now I really love the mission a lot and I hope
that everything is really happy at home right now.
Now
second thought: I know that my birthday is coming up… don’t buy me
anything… don’t send me anything either. We can just celebrate my birth a few days
late when I get home. A little cake from
Sam’s Club and best wok as a family. I would love that. Save your money.
Love Elder Harris
