Wow, did you know that some missionaries actually have baptisms?? Well I learned that this last weekend! We had a baptism!! Ok so I will start with that, So we had a baptism planned for this saturday, well we had to move it to sunday because it was stake conference this last weekend so we couldn't do it on sat, well we went and taught Oscar his last lesson before his interview, and he told us he had drank beer the other day, I was a bit upset because he tells us no I don't have a problem, I just like to drink, I don't think the other hermanas insttiled in him how serious drinking is... so when he said that I got really quiet and looked at him and said, that is very serious Oscar, he got really serious and started thinking, when he said the closing prayer he begged forgiveness, he really seemed sorry. So after that we told him he might not be able to be baptized this weekend, but we would do the interview anyways, well long story short, he amazingly passed his interview! then sunday we had stake conference, far away, and we had SIX INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH!!! It was amazing, for stake conference that like never happens!! I also saw hermana Palacios, she had to bear her testimony, she is leaving for her mission in like a week! Crazy!! Well during stake conference Oscar leans over to my comp and says hey can we post pone my baptism to next week, my work just called they need
me asap, she asked if it was important and he said yeah, and she said more important than god? he thought about it and said no, god comes first! It was amazing, so as soon as conference was over and we got back to our church building we had the baptism, it was a little rushed and stressful, but everything turned out great!! As soon as it was over we had to run to our next appt, it was with one of our investigators, she is amazing, she and her husband are separated, but when he started receiving the discussions he tried to start talking to her again, she started investigating the church on her own, reading the book of mormon and reading stuff on the website, well her husband got baptized and she told us she wants to get baptized too, but she wants to wait until she and her husband move back in together and have everything worked out, we tried putting a date with her, but she said no don't worry about it, well this weekend during stake conf. she told us I want to be baptized asap! We were both so shocked, when we went to see her after the baptism of Oscar she told us she just felt like someone had told her, hey you don't need
to wait to get everything in order, do it now! So she said I'm doing it now, she is
getting baptized this saturday!! She is absolutely amazing!! I'm so excited for her baptism!!
So that is the most exciting stuff, there is so much to do here! Oh after our appt with Fernanda we left for our other appointments but everything fell through, and we were starving because we hadn't eaten at all, we didn't eat lunch or anything because we were in a hurry from the baptism and then the lesson right after, well we ended up going to a members house, the family Feresin, they are amazing, the mom asked us what we ate that day and when we didn't say anything she got up went into the kitchen and made us a huge dinner... she is amazing, I'm pretty sure she earned her spot in heaven for that... haha :) But seriously this family is so much fun! They have a son on a mission in Neuquen, he actually was just comps with one of the elders from my district in the mtc!! They have this crazy tradition where they break eggs and pour flour all over the missionaries that end their missions here, I saw it happen with hermana Winters her last night here... it was so funny, they told me you don't want to finish your mission here, than asked me how much time I have! I just told them about a year or so, they laughed, they are now trying to find out when I end, they know I will end my mission here, they just aren't sure when it is I finish! HAHA it is a game for them... they are so much fun, I just have to think
of something to get them back for the eggs and flour thing... if you have any ideas... let me know, I still have a few months to think though!! Welp that's all I got for now, oh yeah I'm going to a conference with elder Bednar tomorrow, I'm so excited!! And next week we have our zone conference... time is just flying by!!
Love ya'll
