Alo friends and family of our dearest Elder Van Pelt!
Well, what a beautiful week for a very special baptism of Felipe (Pepe). Zach had the incredible joy of watching this cute 15 year old get baptized this week. He said that when Pepe came out of the water, he had a rush of emotions come over him, as this kid became a member of the church that he so wanted to be a part of. During this time, Felipes mom, Rose, had seemed worried for her son, however after he was baptized, Rose came up to Zach and gave him a giant hug. She told him thank you for helping her son and was in tears. What an amazing experience for a young 18 year old missionary. I can't imagine all of the great insight Zach is getting in Chile, and the love that is building for those people as he brings them back into the fold of the gospel.
This is a really short post this week, because this letter was short, but it was so full of a beautiful experience. Thanks Elder Van Pelt for sharing these with us!
Hasta luego!
