Hey fam,
It was a good week. No more driving experiences, but we
did throw down a couple more future baptismal dates, we have 7 lined up for May
14th. I was able to do 3 intercambios during the course of the week,
which was a lot of fun. The most eventful of which happened with my buddy
Elder Troncos, I went to his area one night and told him "OK bro, take me
to an investigator who has attended church several times, but hasn't accepted
baptism yet." We went, asked the mom (less active member) if she
wanted her daughter to get baptized. She said yes, I sat down with the
daughter, had a nice chat, and did the interview then and there. That was
on Wednesday, she was baptized on Saturday. We have a big push of urgency
in the mission, and in making things happen. Like in the Old Testament
when they had to carry the Ark of the Covenant across the River Jordan, and the
water didn't part until after they had gotten their feet wet. We have to
put our faith to the test y hacer que las cosas sucedan.
I was also able to do an intercambio in Rio Ceballos on
Friday/Saturday, found one of my old investigators, and put a baptismal date
with her as well. We had lunch with my old buddy the Stake President,
which is always fun. Sunday the Gospel Principles teacher didn't show up, so I
talk lesson 3 with a big focus on faith leads to action, that action being repentance,
and that the first fruits of repentance is Baptism. It was what we
needed, because we had 6 investigators there.
Yesterday was Mission Council, which was good. As a
mission we baptized the most that we have in over 2 years, so we are
progressing. We talked about D&C 101 & a few things that we need
to improve, and then we all played soccer with President as always to end the
day. All in all a solid week.
Sounds like y’all had a pretty crazy week! This next
weekend is Stake Conference, so it will be great to see everybody from Rio
Ceballos at once again. I might call on Sunday, if I do it will be
between 1 and 3 your time :)
Love y’all!
