Angeliques trip to the temple.

May 2010 was Angeliques first time to go to the temple for baptisms for the dead. She did not realize I was going to go with her. Then she didn't realize she was going to get wet. I helped her pick out her clothes and witnessed her do the ordinances. I handed her the towel when she got out of the water. It was great! After the youth gathered around I volunteered to say a few words to the youth. I explained to them how I am originally from corpus christi and remember traveling days to get to the temple, then hours.. I told them of a spiritual eperience I had. I said my dad died when I was 11 and when it was time to go to the temple I prayed that I would see him. We wouldn't have the chance to go to the temple that often and everytime I fasted and prayed before I went. I told them I figured if I was going to see my dead father what better place then the temple. I told them i began to get really frustrated when I continually didn't see him. I went to my heavenly father in prayer and pleaded to know why? I said do i need to fast five days instead of two? Pray harder? what was it? And I heard someone say he can't visit you in the temple. What a testimony that was to me, of what goes on in the after life. That we have our freedom to choose. I don't know if my dad wasn't worthy or he hadn't been taught the gospel. But I did know my h.f. answered my prayer and made my testimony of his work even stronger!

Getting ready for the BIG DAY!

There was alot of preperation for the big day! This was the day Amalekia was going to baptize Araceli and Amalekia was going to have his farewell. Amalekia only had to turn in his missionary picture to the stake. All his papers were complete. The reason I had everything in one day was I thought people from corpus will be able to save money and attend both the baptism and farewell. Here are the pictures we took for the invite.

Aracelis birthday!! 8 yrs old

Mothers Day 2010

Amalekia had flowers and choclates delivered. Amerika also gave me roses. That was sweet of both of them. I told them about 3 days later that I don't like roses. I never have. That was funny.

Rising Stars Banquet 2010

Mom and Noemi went to see me award my girls! I also recieved an award for taking care of 50 children and help organizing activities for them so that their parents could receive helpful information concerning college awarness and procedures. It was a nice night.
