!Familia!
que tal? como han estado?
Well what a great week for us! Man :) Missionary work is
seriously the best thing ever!!!!!!!!
So first let me tell you about the baptism with Maria and
Hugo.............if you don't know already with baptisms something always
always always always goes wrong. or tries to. Satan tires his very very best to
keep it from happening...and this time i thought that it was going to be a
pretty calm baptism with no major problems seeing how the biggest one they
actually overcame and that was setting a date to be baptized....Well it was planned for saturday night right? Church was all scheduled because there was nothing reserved on the calendar for the church. no problem right? wrong.
Then on Thursday night at 8:30 we received a call from our bishop informing us that he just found out that there was going to be a stake youth activity at our church building and it started at the exact time that the baptism was scheduled. meh....that was a fun 2 hours trying to call and figure out what we could do instead. because hugo works until 5 and he would already be coming straight from work to get to the baptism on time at 6 they told us they couldnt do it friday, so we were pretty much stumped and at the point of tears not knowing what to do, and then our bishop because he is just so awesome called our investigators and idk what he said to them but they then called us and said that they would get baptized on Friday. 5 days from when they set their date they were baptized! and let me tell you what a baptism! man it was pretty amazing. the spirit was strong there and they will definately be life time members. Bishop was supposed to give the last talk on the Holy Ghost and he was stuck in traffic and president doll ended up giving the talk :) thanks to him I didn't have to do it. I have never seen them that happy before.
We have Karla and Carlos Jr. getting baptized by their father Carlos this saturday! :) they have their entrevistas tonight and it will also be an awesome baptism.
As for sad news: Jorge who was going to be baptized on the 12th of this month~texted us the other day and told us that he didn't want to listen to us anymore because, he didn't like having his wife mad at him all the time for becoming mormon. We immediatly went over to his house and talked to him and tried to see if we could set up a time to talk to him and his wife, but he wouldn't do it, so I'm really wondering if he's using it as a pretexto (idk what that is in english sorry) but like its kind of like a cover for whats really going on. I prayed and prayed about it and really felt this peace which was a but weird for me to be at peace with the fact that he doesn't want us to teach him anymore. but I trust those feelings and somehow know that its all going to be ok.
Halloween was cool. my costume was fun :) and we played a
rouling game of monopoly electronic banking. it was fun. then today for pday we
are going to go fly kites with president doll and our zone. It's pretty cold and windy outside...winter is coming and we were
told that we should be getting snow today or tomorrow :( meh. no thank you.
I've been doing this new cool thing where I'm really trying to focus on how sincere my prayers are and how strong my
converations with my Heavenly Father are, and so I've been having a pen and
paper by me when I pray. I'm giving God time to talk to me and listen for the
answers to my questions and then writing it down. and it's been pretty amazing
at the miracles I have seen from it. So you should definately try it and then
write me a letter telling me all about it! :)
I love you all and hope you had a great halloween and that
youll have a great week!
paz y amor, Hermana Maughan
