Angeles was a member referral. She was golden from day one as she was looking for a church. She had been suffering from some anxiety issues and felt that God could and would help her if she could find him and she was right. Last night she was baptized. She bore a long testimony in the baptismal service about her search. She said she knew from the first day that the Elders began to teach her that the gospel was a beautiful thing and she wanted to be part of it. She cried a lot in church today after her confirmation. We could all feel her spirit. Elder Cloward baptized her and will be leaving tomorrow for Madrid to be a zone leader. We will miss him greatly. He has been a wonderful support to our JAS and loved by all.
One thing for sure, don't get too comfortable with anyone or anyplace because changes are coming, including for us. We will be losing all of our JAS young adults soon. Marriage, missions and moves will leave us without a group soon. There is a JAS group in Santa Cruz without a missionary couple. Santa Cruz is the big city an hour away. We would like to stay in our little rural haven here but it isn't to be. Mike is doing his "nose in the internet" thing, looking for a piso. It will be an adventure. Our mission will be half over when we leave in September.
