My last Jersey letter home

Dear Family,
Alejandro got confirmed this week. This Saturday he's going to the temple :) He is literally the best!!!
Nicolas and John surprised me on Sunday by coming from Newark to Sacrament meeting at Union City. It was super weird to see all of them again after so long!!! They are all doing so good.
Gregorio and Jessica and fam, a family we have been teaching, all came this Sunday for the first time! It was legitimately a miracle!
We went with Daniel to his Evangelical church yesterday. My ears have been ringing ever since.
It was just a good week of just good ol' work :) A good week to end the mission. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
Endings are literally the worst! Sometimes I'm so sad...but then I remember that most everyone I know from my mission lives in New Jersey and has Facebook :)
I love you all. I can testify with all my heart that Christ lives and that this is His true Church!! Remember to choose the right and know what you stand for!!!
Love,
Hermana Reed

Alejandro got baptized!!

Dear Family,
Quick notes on my week:
~Alejandro was set for baptism on Monday
~We saw Paola on Tuesday
~I went on my departing temple trip to receive REVELATION on Wednesday
~Meanwhile Alejandro passed his baptismal interview!!!
~And my companions got 5 lessons at the same time! They're bosses
~Fought an angry demon on Thursday
~Paola got offended by the Bishop and said she would never go back to church
~Our less-active neighbor downstairs went to Conference on Saturday
~And Alejandro got baptized on Sunday
~And Paola came and reconciled herself with the Bishop after the baptism.
I was soo happy!
It was a good week! And Hispanics are dramatic!!
I am so happy for Alejandro! He was grinning like a kid on Christmas. To quote the words of The Best Two Years: "What better way to end your mission than with a baptism?" #cheesy
I love you all! Remember to choose the right, know what you stand for, and re-read all the conference talks!
Love,
Sister Reed
