Dear Family,
What a wonderful week in the CR. Man, we felt of a bunch of
really cool experiences.
We got to go to the temple on Saturday to seal a family
together. I had never been to a sealing ordinance before. It was an incredibly
beautiful experience. The temple president did the ordinance. He has been
taught a lot by the Spirit in the temple so many great things.
It was actually a pretty interesting experience leading up
to the sealing actually. In the morning, Elder Hatch said our District prayer
and asked for a personal miracle for each missionary. It came to pass. My
companion was complaining the whole trip that he didnt want to go and wake up
early and be there which bothered the pants off of me. When we got there, we
learned that there was another Honduraño there to be seal. He was from the same
stake as my companion so that was his miracle. One of mine was that all the
youth and leaders from my last area came to do baptisms so I got to spend time
with those saints as we waited for the endowment session.
We went into the temple for the endowment session and as we
were getting changed, they started the session so we werent able to attend that
part of the trip. But we soon learned that their wasn't sufficient temple
workers in the temple to assist a family baptize and confirm 56 of their
ancestors. If there wasnt two Melchezedek Priesthood holders present they would
have had to go home without the work done. I know that Heavenly Father was very
present of the needs of those in the temple. After finishing that, we went into
the celestial room to just study and pray until the sealing ordinance. It was
easily one of the best moments of my life. I feel very filled for all that
happened.
Anyways lots of cool things happened. It was a pretty great
birthday as well. Because it was a Sunday and a Fast Sunday at that, we couldn't
do too much to celebrate. But it definately went a lot better than last year.
haha
Love you guys and I hope that everything keeps moving
forward. haha
Sigamos Adelante,
-Elder Neider
