So i dont have much time to write. I was enjoying grandma and grandpa´s letter too much. I LOVE reading letters from other missionaries now. Hahah i feel like understand them a lot better now.
Wow, so this week was sooo good, and there were so many suprises.
So this weekend like i said we had 4 baptisms like we planned, but they were not all the 4 people we had planned to baptize haha.
The few days before her baptism selene had a lot of problems and she got really nervous. We couldnt find her for a few days. Her Interveiw fell through, and the visits we had planned and in the end she didnt get baptized (this is the second time her baptismal date has fallen through) She really wants to get baptized, she just needs a little more time to build her faith and trust in the Lord.
But out of no where a miracle happened. I was on a work visit with a new missionary in his area and my companion called us in the night to infrom me that we would still be having 4 baptisms. Ezequiel one of our investigators wanted to get baptized a while ago, but he hasnt been able to due to some problems he has, but the bishop informed us that he had resolved his problems and he was ready to go. we set up his interveiw and he was baptized with the famlia Quinde
:D
Ezequiel is sooooo awesome. He has been the most prepared that i have ever seen. I hope he stays strong. We met him because one day he simply showed up to church to participate. He said he was looking for a church to join and he wanted ot make the right decision and he said he had been praying for almost a year. When he was riding his bike infront of the church buildign and he just got a strong impression that THIS was the church he needed to enter so he asked a brother who was outside what time the church meetings started and came the following sunday.
You can imagine our shock when the first thing he said to us that he was looking for someone to baptize him haha. I think we stared at him for at least 15 minutes with our mouths open.
The baptism was beautiful and i have loved teaching these people: i hope i dont have a transfer because it will be an early goodbye.
well thats all the time i have
Love you all!!
Always turn outward and keep smiling
