We took some converts to do baptisms for the dead. We had an investigator named Andy like 2 months ago, but we dropped him because he stopped going to church. 2 Sundays ago he just showed up to church again! Our Elder's Quorum president is dope, but he's super crazy. His name is Pabel. Anyway if he sees investigators at church he does anything to baptism them. So he ended up giving Andy a job at his car shop by his house. A ton of members work there too. We ate lunch with Pabel's wife this week and we were talking and she tells us, hey I heard your gonna have a baptism this week! we were like uuuhhhh we don't think so. Then Pabel walks into the room with Andy and Pabel was like alright so were gonna plan your baptism right now who would you like to give talks, which hymns, etc. We were like daaaaang this guys a beast. So we ended up baptizing him on Saturday.
We also were able to take our converts to do baptisms for the dead. It was a great experience for them and for us. We didn't participate but we went to watch and support them. They all really liked it. There's changes on Monday and I'll be staying here. My comp is out of here. We'll see who comes.

Well well well. Let me just tell you guys a few things that happened this week...We met a dude named Jesus. His story is sad. He's pretty old but 8 months ago he was fine, working doin his thing ya feel? But one day he stepped on a nail and had to go to the hospital. They ended up injecting this liquid that messed up his kidneys. His body is all swollen now he can't see or walk and they cut off his toes and some of his fingers. They gave him medicine to help him out but he ran out and doesn't have enough money to buy more. Sad I know but he's really receptive and actually went to church this week. A member went with my comp to pick him up and take him to the church. This week Elder Uceda came to our stake to talk. He's from Peru and is the president of the area of Central America. He did a question and answer type thing with all of the recent converts and it was really good. He knows like 4 languages! He talked in stake conference too about the sacrement. He talked about how one time someone asked elder Christopherson "what do you do when your in a boring sacrament meeting?" He then answered "Honestly I have no idea, I've never been to a boring sacrament meeting." Haha Elder Uceda told us that if we attend a boring sacrament meeting it means that we didn't come prepared. Je said a lot more but I'm not gonna write it all. He's a really good speaker and knows how to grab the attention of his audience and to inspire them. This week we were busy inviting the investigators to that meeting and the conference but now we can focus more on finding more people. We have some good investigators and we hope that they can keep progressing in the gospel. Peace out untill next week! All the sister missionaries that came to the mission the same time I did are going home. Let me just tell you that this week was one of the loooooongest weeks of my life! Tuesday: Multizone all day. Wednesday: Leader Counsel and another meeting directly after with the mission president, the stake president of Roble Oeste and the assistents. (That took up the whole entire day btw). Thursday: I stayed in my area for an interchange with one of the assistents. It was like a test to see if I'm ready to train another dude to be Zone leader. Friday: I had to go the the other districts district meeting to give a... capacitation? (I honestly don't know if that's a word guuuulp). Saturday: The first day of the week that we could actually work. BUT.. NOOOOOoooonee was home! haha I'M SERIOUS! we knocked doors all day but we got pretty tan so thats cool. Sunday: Church, ward counsel and a meeting with the stake president again, weekly planning, studying and 2 hours to work. Now it's finally p day and I am gonna relax sooooo good you don't even know. A sister is gonna make Mexican tacos for the district and were gonna chill on the terrace of a rich members house with a dooope view of the temple. I'll take some vids to show you whats up. I love the talk in the Liahona of this month by Elder Uceda, The area president of Central America, from Peru (he's coming to our stake this week) He talked about prayer and how we should pray. we should always kneel if we can when we are praying to show respect and humility. Our Heavenly Father knows us perfectly and wants to help us, but he wants us to tell him how we feel, what our problems are, what were grateful for, what our goals are etc. He hears and answers our prayers if they actually come from our hearts. Thats why we should prepare ourselves before we pray by reading the scriptures or meditating about the blessings we've received. And we should always remember: "When we offer a fervent prayer we have the attention of the most powerful, merciful and loving being in the universe" Love you guys! Another good week creeds, some craaaaaazy stuff happened! Remember that evil turkey I was talkin about? Apparently some drunk dude fell over and sat on top of it and broke its legs and then it fell of the cliff. They went down and found it, it could barely move and couldn't stand up so they killed it. Now they want to feed it to us but I'd feel so bad eating that poor little guy!
The bishop's wife gave us one of the best meals I've had in the mish on Saturday! I'M SERIOUS! She gave us fish with rice, a salad and crepes too! The crepes had Nutella, strawberries, bananas and kiwis,sooooooo goood! Had another baptism this week. Janger 13 years. I got to baptize her. A little girl got baptized too in the same baptismal service and she wanted me to give a talk in her baptism so I ended up talking doing it in my baptism clothes haha. A good week. We've found a lot of new people to teach this week and we're hoping to schedule some more baptism dates for them too. Love you have a good week! And also have a good week! |
