Christine and us at church. Two seconds after this photo, she fell asleep haha. So stinking cute!!
Baptism of Eduardo! The Elder who baptized him is Elder Senden (he's the District leader)
Us and Eduardo
You wouldn't believe it, but we are eating beet duros. They are actually delicious. Still don't like beets, mom. Just in duro form haha!
Hola Familia!!
This week was, well interesting. We had a lot of the good and the not so good, which I guess is good because that means we're trying!
We had a baptism of 12 yr old E who is actually really intelligent. He asked all the right questions and would even answer hs brother's questions (we taught them both, but his bro isn't ready yet). He was really ready to be baptized. And then he didn't show up to church to be confirmed. We have no clue what happened. But we went to visit him and I think his brother (who is a little bit on the crazy side haha) is a bit of a stumbling block and convinced him not to go to church. Luckily we have really awesome members who are going to have Noche de Hogar (FHE) with them and with us and I think that will really help all of his family!
We also have been teaching KSHna. We taught her the first three lessons, invited her to be baptized and she seemed to be really progressing. A really cool experience with her is that we were on our way to teach her Chastity and to find out her situation (if she really is married and all that). But when we sat down, Vanini pulled out La Palabra de Sabiduria (Work of Wisdom) and looked over at me. We both felt the Spirit tell us that this is what we should teach her. We found out that she is a smoker, but wants to quit, and also that she lost her job and is having a pretty rough time at home. We shared our testimonies and she couldn't come to church this week, but I have a lot of hope for her. I am really excited to work with her and pray she will find the comfort of Jesus Christ (especially at the Iglesia haha!).
At church we had 3 investigators come! Before we were calling everybody (especially E) and NOBODY answered. But then 3 people who we were not expecting came! One of them is Hna S, who we had decided to drop because every lesson with her, she seemed totally uninterested. Well apparently she is interested haha. I love to be surprised out here in the mission! The other two we absolutely love! Fam R who we only contacted once and nobody actually comes to church from a contact. But we proved that wrong! We'll see what happens with them!
Well, love you all!
