Great news!!!

Hello Blogland!

I have been keeping up with some blogs for some time now and finally decided to start one myself. My life is not always the most exciting and fun to hear about so you'll only hear from me every now and then. I love taking pictures and will do my best to share some of those with you once I learn how to put them on here. I admit it, I've been a slacker and am a shame to any person that enjoys photography, but I'll try to get up to speed!

Ok, lets move on to the GREAT news! I have plenty of things to do but figured that this was way too good to not share, so here it is.

I just got back from a wonderful youth service. Brother Luis, our youth leader, was inspired by Brother Daniel Doerfler to ask the youth to take part in our youth services by giving a message. Praise the Lord that Sister Keila was willing to be the first, and was responsible for this servise's message. She began with an activity in which all the youth was divided into three groups and scriptures regarding sin were given to the teems. They then had to find and write down the sins that they found in these scriptures. She proceeded to read the scriptures one at a time and explained to the youth what all these different sins were. Because some of our youth is very young, she went into detail and took her time explaining each one. She made it possible for us to comment on what we thought sins (such as fornication, adultery...) were and ask questions regarding this. I noticed that everyone: children, youth, and adults were all very attentive to what was going on. When she finished explaining these, she explained that any person that has such things in their lives will go to hell. She spoke about hell and shared about the research that scientists did in Siberia. Then she played the audio for the video, that you may have already heard, "The sounds of hell." She continued to say that we were all destined to go to hell due to the sin in our lives, BUT that Jesus had died in the cross and made it possible for us to escape that horrible place. She asked everyone to make their way to the altar. We all just began to pray and I could hear people weeping and asking God to forgive them and save them from that horrible place. It was wonderful! God's presence was sooo real! Once I finished praying I went to pray with Moises, Brother Olivarez's son. I was just amazed how he is the shyest person you have ever seen, and I mean literally, but tonight he was so into prayer. He was weeping and ...I just can't explain. It was wonderful!
Once every one was through praying we just worshiped God through song. Brother Ban~uelos later asked if any had been saved and...there were three saved!!! Belen, Moises, and Adrian. Adrian is a visitor who has been faithfully attending for about a month now and was saved tonight! God is just incredibly amazing! I am sure that this post can't begin to explain how wonderful this service was, you just had to be there.

I would like to ask you to pray for these that were saved, that they may be able to hold on to this salvation and keep moving forward. Also for those that are still reluctant to give their lives to the Lord. Please, if you remeber, just pray!
