oh my goodness gracious literally so many things happened this week here in las americas! also, happy late 4th of july to all my USA peeps (sorry this is a day late, I was celebrating my ONE YEAR mark with the pres yesterday) 1) i had a baptism in one o my other wards, los raulies! ayline got baptized after being taught for like 7 moths, and she literally couldnt have been happier!! i also got to see my other converts, pato and fernanda! it was really awesome to see the progression that ayline made from when i left that ward to now! it really made me see the importance of helping your investigators through everything so they can get baptized in the end. people are not going to progress and then get baptized in two weeks. it doesnt work like that! 2) our investigator, Judith, got baptized this past Sunday and is going to get confirmed this next sunday! she finally received an answer that the church is true, and we had the opportunity to baptize her with a lot of support from the ward! now we have to work with ehr even more so that there is a good handoff from us to the ward, and so that she gets more involved in things like seminary and the young womens program. 3) i hit a year on the mission! holla! for pday yesterday, we had the opportunity to go to our mission presidents house (in the santiago east mission boundries) to hang out with him and have a little lunch with the people from my group that all came at the same time as me! i went with elder williams, hermana knight/matos/alvarez on the way there, and then met up with all my peeps in presidents house. we played minute to win it and volleyball! i stole some avocados form their 30 foot tree in their backyard, so i am going to be eating really good for the next couple of days. 4) i got a lot of letters from you guys this week, and i am going to respond to all of you here soon! literally thank you so much for all the support that you guys give me! i can feel your love all the way down here in the arctic circle, i mean santiago. as i hit a year, i am getting literally so excited for this next year of adventures and things to do! i know i am only half way through this huge mission, but i am excited to see where the lord is going to put me....where i am needed! literally love all of you so much! i hope that you guys have an amazing week, and that you guys have some spiritual experiences ! EKW one year and sushi celebration dinner! ayline (from my old area) and her baptism! us and judith! just your typical one year old missionary me picking from that huge avocado tree
