Santigo Mission

Elder Borja

Hola, everyone! This week went well. We have a kid named Wilton that is progressing. He is 12 years old and he has a sister that is a regressing member. He has a baptismal date for this Saturday. We are super excited for him. I can’t believe it’s December. That went by so fast! Haha! I remember when I entered Dajabon in late June and now its December! Lately I have been reading the New Testament in English. I am not going to lie - I have read the New Testament before, but never understood it that well. But here as a missionary I have learned so much from the scriptures. I love reading about Jesus Christ and all the parables that he taught with. He really is our Savior and I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. I have never felt more closer to my Savior then right now. Every time we testify about him and the atonement, the Spirit testifies that he lives and how he really did suffer for all of us so we can be saved in the end. I love Christmas! As a kid I always loved Christmas for the presents and the snow. Now I understand that this holiday is a time where we should serve others and try to be like our Savior. It’s a time when we need to love everyone just as Christ loved everyone. I love you all! I am so grateful for the experiences I have had here. A mission is a blessing that I can’t deny. I know that Jesus Christ lives. He has a gospel in today’s world and we can find it in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Love you all,
Elder Walker
