then hey yall! last week was a very large and crazy pday, but now i actually have time to write to you guys!
so what has happened in the past week?? NACHO GOT BAPTIZED WOOO!! he passed his interview a couple days prior, and he was so so so excited to be able to get baptized! im not even kidding this kid comes with us on lessons and because of him, we are teaching like 4 of his cousins. he is such a cool dude. the day of his baptism came along, and it was supposed to start at 6, right? we got a call from his grandma and she was like "hey we are having trouble getting the food all ready for the baptism...can we move it to 7?" we call bishop, he said it was ok, so we moved it to 7. people started showing up, it was 7:30 and nacho wasnt even there. we called the grandma: "um so where are you guys?" "oh sorry, running late cause we are trying to get the food still. we are running!" these honeys didnt show up until 8:30. the members were LIVID. imagine sitting in a non air conditioned chapel, 100 degrees outside for 2 hours. it was grand ill tell you what! he got confirmed that same day as, and when he went up to give his testimony, he started crying and you could really feel the spirit present in the room. it was so perfect! other than the baptism, it has been a hard two weeks for us....we have been pimp slapped by our sector...our numbers weren't the greatest this week, and so we have been trying hard to figure out how we could better the numbers. our awesome zone leaders gave us a lesson on the power of prayer, and how you need to ask specific blessings in order to get them throughout the day. so, right before we left one morning, we said almost a 10 minute prayer, asking for all of our investigators to be in there houses, and for us to find the people that were ready to hear the restoration of the gospel. we went out, and EVERY single person was in there house! WHAT??!! we found three new friends to teach in one day! it was insane! if i can say anything, it is that the power of prayer is true. oh so so true! its our job to ask specifically for the things that need, and then, work towards the goals and meet god halfway in order to get those blessings. other news thats happening, another one of our investigators is going to get baptized here in two weeks! pray for her please!!!! she is 9 years old and is the coolest little girl in the world. shes kind of scared tog et baptized, but her parents and us are trying our hardest to comfort her and get her all ready for the big day! fetch i have to go though. i hope all of you have a good week this week! i hit 19 months recently too....YIKES QUE SCARY. my parents, and sis will be down here to pick me up in just about 4 months! ekw
