This week was really good. We worked really hard and we had a lot of success because of it! :) WE HAD A BAPTISM!!! Woot woot! Her name is Maria Orellana and she is the funniest 70 year old lady that I know haha. We met her through some recent converts to the church. She is the mom of Ivan, a convert of about 3 months at the most. Our first encounter was pretty funny. We were over at the house of Ivan for a family home evening and we met here there and actually saluted me with kiss before I could really tell her about it and she got so embarrassed that she had to meet with us again to apologize and we shared something with her that she later said filled the vacant hole that she never knew she had in her heart. It was a very fun thing teaching her because she literally was in love with us for a long time and would always tell us. It kinda got to the point to where we almost were going to stop going over and teaching her. We finally got up the courage to tell her that she couldnt talk to us like that any more because we are representatives of jesus christ and she was a little upset but after that she completed ALL of her commitments and started praying and going to church and doing everything with such desires it was amazing to see the change. She is so happy right now!! I am really glad that she was able to get baptized this week. 3 of us had to get into the water to help her get baptized because of her bad legs. We had to do it twice because Ivan couldnt get her arm down. The second time I pretty much grabbed her from coming back up and just kept pushing her down into the water. haha I kinda felt bad but I made sure every single part of her got under that water haha. The baptism was really the highlight of the week. :)
I also got the opportunity to go over to carlos`s house and help him cement the ground so what we did was grabbed a bowl and made cement right there and patched the holes up that he had on the ground. haha I was really excited about that. I also CAUGHT A DUCK!!!!!!!! I was in the campo and with a little help from carlos I got to hold a duck that we had caught. WOOOT! Hope you liked my week chau!!
