Well I want to start off by telling you a scary story... It all happened last Monday... we were walking to an appointment on our river bed of a road and down yonder we see this man. Now this was no ordinary man, this was a great BIG man. A man with very dark skin and dreads that came past his shoulders. This is not all, he was covered with plants and dirt, not to mention barely had any clothes on. He came closer and closer and started speaking some language to me which I was not familiar with. I looked around and my companion had ran across the street and was a distance in front of me. I was really afraid and simply just said chao and walked faster. Then when I finally caught up to my companion we hid in a despensa until the scary Cain looking man went away. phew...
Okay I have another cool short story! There is this man that we have been visiting this week. He is a recent convert, and is about 75 years old. The best part is that he has over 34 kids... Don´t ask me how many wives. But he has the cutest old man laugh and absolutely loves the missionaries. He tells us that he needs to work all day long to live longer. I guess his mother lived to be 110 this way. What ever floats your boat right?
This week I was kinda sick, which sucked. But there was one day when I could not get out of bed, and our sweet district leader decided to come by and see if I needed a blessing. Well they ended up ringing our doorbell like 30 times, but I was out like a rock and didn´t hear a thing. I am happy to say that I feel great now, unfortunately my companion was throwing up this morning. Must be some bug going around.
So yeah... We baptized a family yesterday! Due to some complexities we had a baptism on Sunday. But it was such an amazing baptism!!!! The family was so happy and the Spirit was so strong! I love being able to see the Gospel change peoples lives!!! We had a ton of members there, which was really cool too. We took lots of pictures and ate lots of food! Baptisms are my most favorite things, and this Saturday we have 2 more!!! and the weekend after 3 more!!! My companion and I have been so blessed and guided by the spirit! Heavenly Father really does love His children, and prepares them to hear this Gospel! I love it!!! Oh and p.s. Our district leaders promised to buy us ice cream and brownies if we baptize 6 people this change... I love ice cream and brownies.
Oh, this morning we had yet another lesson with Hermana McMullin. She says she loves teaching with us, and today the spirit was super strong. It is amazing to see how the Gospel is the same everywhere, and even though we are all from different places, speak different languages, and are different ages, the Gospel is the same. The best part is that with the guidance of the Spirit the lesson touches the hearts of who we are teaching specifically for them. I love this work, and I am so glad to be apart of it. And I am so blessed to have wonderful people in my life to be my examples and enjoy this blessing with me. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week.
