So the package is in
my city, my friend actually has it haha. So they made it here safe!!!!
Whoooo!!
First of all,
this weekend was nuts!! I had exchanges this week with an Elder that is
brand new. His name is Elder Walker and he's from Utah, and doesn't speak
spanish haha...so for 2 days I talked non stop. It was intense
teaching the full lessons alone, but it was fun too. I like to talk...
:D
Saturday was the meeting with Elder Christofferson and two 70´s too. IT
was amazing!! I learned a lot on how to be a better missionary. He
opened it up for questions too, but I didn't know what to ask. I didn't
want to say anything dumb haha. Only half the mission got to come, so
thank goodness I was in the half that came!
After the talk, we went to
the church and started preparing for the baptism of Valeria!!!!
YAAAAAYYYYY! :D At 5pm she was baptized. I was so surprised that lots of
people from the ward showed up. We did make fancy fliers and delivered
them to the families in the ward though... so that's probably why. Our
ward mission leader said that it was one of the best most spiritual
baptisms that he's ever seen. Legit! Now the clock ticks..until one year
and then they can get sealed in the temple!! :) I will be confirming her
next Sunday. My first confirmation in spanish! It should be cake.
Usually members of the ward are supposed to do this, but she asked me to
do it. I always love seeing people get baptized, knowing that they are
leaving behind their old sinful life haha to start a brand new one..how
awesome!
Remember that one family with that one convert of mine in Olavarria a long time ago in my first area? They got mad at us or
something and told us to stop coming by? They emailed me last week and
it was amazing! Everything is great with them and I think they are going
to church! It made me so happy to hear from them.
Umm..Sunday we had
stake conference with Elder Christofferson too. It was a full weekend of
apostle! haha. his wife spoke too, although her spanish wasn't super
amazing, she still did a really great job and everyone understood her.
So 2 weeks until transfers..wow. How the time fly's! I feel like we were
just at this point yesterday. Agh!!
One of our investigators went to the
stake conference this Sunday without us knowing, she also went up and
shook the apostles hand and talked with him. She told us that he blessed
her baby haha. How awesome. She's this little lady from Peru. She felt
the spirit a lot in the meeting and can't wait for us to come back and
teach her more stuff! She could be the next baptism :)
I think that's all
that happened this week. I'm sure there is more, but time calls haha. We
only have one hour. Maybe even less now...eeeek. Okay well I love you
guys! Sorry for not sending pics of the baptism! I forgot my memory card
in the casa!
Love you all! chau!!!
