Hello everyone! This week has been a crazy and busy week. To start off,
on Tuesday we traced a lot and talked to a lot of people. It was a great
day. On Wednesday we were going to have Irma's baptism, but then as
Satan does, he wouldn't let it happen without putting up a fight. You
remember the house that we worked on with Irma? She still hadn't
finished it, and she called us an hour before the baptism and said she
couldn't make it to the baptism because she had the deadline of that
night to finish it. We at first were like "we understand", but then we
got bold, called her back, and promised her Temporal and spiritual
blessings for coming. We also said that before and after the baptism we
would help until she's done. So we worked with her on the house in
proselyting clothes, and raced over to the baptism at 7 pm, and had a
beautiful baptism. She came in and asked where all the other people
being baptized were. She apparently imagined that she would be one of
many others getting baptized. We said, "No, it's all for you". And she
started to cry. It was an amazing baptism, and right after we gathered
as many members as we could and we went to her house, called our mission
president and then worked on the flip house until 11:30. We taught a
lesson with a family who loved the Restoration, and also we taught
Remundo, who is on date for August. We read some of the Book of Mormón
with him and he said as we left "You guys better keep coming back". It
was pretty awesome. He also came to church and loved it.
Something I've learned is that from each of my companion's I have
learned Christ-like attributes. From Elder Hanchett I've learned trust.
He trusts everyone, and therefore he trusts God. They were a great set
of 2 1/2 transfers. I am now getting another companion for my final
transfer, and his name is Elder Simpson. He seems like an amazing
missionary. The Lord blessed us in this work and I learned that if we
put our effort to not give up when Satan pushes us, the Lord's miracles
are accomplished.
