let the madness begin 🤫🫣 (Mar. 3, 2025)

Happy March Madness everyone! Surprise surprise, that's not a thing here in the jungle. We have our own version though. We have a goal this month, as a mission, to get 304 baptisms!!! March Madness goes crazy here! 🫡 

This week was great! My brain finally realized where I was when I was eating coconuts from a tree sitting in a house on the bank of the Amazon River... so we are slowly getting used to everything. I can understand people a little bit better every day. Un poco un poco! 

I had my first baptism yesterday!! Margarita and Mathias. It was such an amazing experience and I'm so excited for them! I didn't start teaching them, so I don't know them too well but they still have a special place in my heart 💓 

It is so incredibly humid and rainy here!! One night this week we were running to someone's house cause we were late for a cita. Oh. My. Gosh. I'm never living somewhere humid. We got to his house and I thought I was melting. He was very concerned for us as we sat on his couch wiping sweat off our faces with any dry spot we could find on our dresses. Una día en la vida!! 

I've really gained such a strong testimony about prayer while I've been out here. I know that Heavenly Father hears all of our prayers and is so so happy when we pray to Him. He wants to know the deepest desires of our hearts, and He wants to help us. Sometimes He answers our prayers in ways we would never expect, but He never fails to give us one. I can truly feel the power of prayer from each of you. So thanks so much!! And I'm praying for all of you as well.
