Cow lard and miracles!

Hey all! First off, happy new year! I hope we can all rededicate ourselves to be better this year! I sure need to!

Well we had the fantastic experience of seeing the baptism of Damian on Saturday. He is so humble and meek and sensitive to the spirit. It was amazing to see him so happy. His wife is coming along as well, and we hope to teach her soon!
Today we went over to an older lady's house, Hermana Gauna, to have menudo. We were expecting it to be cow stomach, but I guess they didn't have any. So it ended up being cow feet! Haha. Terrible. It really wasn't that bad, just extremely spicy and basically pure lard. But it wasn't too bad tasting with enough lemon!

I hope you all have a wonderful start to 2014. Time is going by so quickly!


Something that stuck out to me this week, is the importance of our role of strengthening the people's faith in Christ. As we do, they gain a greater desire to follow Him, and they are prepared to repent and eventually show that willingness to repent by entering into baptism. Seeing someone's faith in the Savior increasing is an amazing blessing of this work.
I love you all and I thank you for your support. Keep praying and going strong! Stay safe this week.

Love,
Elder Stone
