Things are going well here! Our investigator was baptized on Saturday! She
usually doesn't show too much emotion, so it's hard to tell when she's
excited, but she was crying because she was so
happy!!!
We also got to go give a blessing to a member in the hospital who
was about to have a baby. Her boyfriend isn't a member, and we haven't
really had the chance to teach him at all. We gave her the anointing and
then a nurse came in to check up on her, so we had to wait for a few
minutes to finish the blessing. We got talking to the boyfriend and he
told us he felt like he just wants to raise the kid right. We said
something like "Well, the Gospel definitely helps with that" and that
led to a bunch of questions that he had. So, in a couple of minutes we
ended up teaching him the whole first lesson. We then gave the blessing
and left, but it was really cool to see how the Lord works in strange
ways to spread his word around! They ended up having the baby the next
day and everything went well!
On Friday we went to go see a less-active member whose brother is
really close to dying. We shared the Plan of Salvation with her and the
doctrines of what happens after this life and temple work definitely
helped to bring her comfort. She wants to be able to go to the temple
and get the work done for him.
I love working with Elder Munoz! I feel like every day we are doing more what we need to do to please the Lord. It is really satisfying to see the progress, I just have to be careful because it's pretty easy for me to get complacent.
It's easy to tell Elder Munoz is out here for the right reasons: to build up the kingdom of God. He definitely tries to do everything he can! He is happy to be in a car area, (despite the fact that he might gain a few pounds) but is willing to jump on the bikes too. He has a really strong testimony of the Restored Gospel and shares it with all we meet. That's probably the thing I've learned from him the most so far: share my testimony with everyone.

God Bless Texas! I am Elder Black. Thus I end mine epistle.
