October 31, 2016  "Now the next thing is baptism."

This week has been pretty chill. Except for that a dog tried to bite me. Haha. We were doing divisions (splits) and we knocked on the front gate of someone and this dog came running up to us from a fence of another house and I thought, “Oh, he doesn’t look that happy.” I tried to shoo it away by saying “cheh!” because that’s what everyone here says, but then it went behind me and tried to bite me. Haha.  Scared the stuff out of me, but it just got my pants, and well I walked around the rest of the day with my leg out. Haha. I just took a few deep breaths and thought... “It’s ok, it’s ok.” Haha. I was pretty frustrated but grateful that it didn’t get my leg.

Other than that, I got assigned a talk in sacrament on Friday and It was about the mission work. I wasn’t as stressed as I would have been before because somehow I felt like I was being prepared to give this talk. I tried to get the ward a little more excited about mission work, and I was really grateful for the opportunity I had to talk.  The story I used was of Alma and Amulek, how Alma is like us as missionaries because we are strangers in a new place, and how Amulek is like the members because he knew people and had connections. I think it talks about his reputation in Alma 10:4. But I talked about how they worked together to have a little more success, because Alma was going to leave Ammonihah.

I think we are going to switch pensiones (apartments) soon. We are living out of our area and it’s hard for us to travel each day. But there is a really awesome house like 2 blocks from the church that we are looking into. I hope we get it.

This week we have been working a lot with Diego. He is the man that just got married. We went to his wedding and we were walking with him and he is the one that told us, ´´Now the next thing is the baptism´´ and we were super excited. He is getting baptized this week and I am looking forward to a big baptism with the ward and all.

We are also teaching Juan Pablo. He has 18 years and he is in a wheelchair but he is awesome he wants to get baptized but his family is really Catholic. The ward has helped us a lot with the transportation and with accepting him and making him feel comfortable. I have been really impressed.

We have found a few new people to teach but we’ll see how it goes with them.

Overall I’m doing good, trying to be the leader and the missionary that I’m supposed to be and who the lord wants me to be.

Love you all!

We assisted a wedding. The man is Diego and he is going to get baptized this week. This is the family Silva and they are so awesome!

 

This is us with a member, Markos.  Just a picture of us going to some visits.

 

I knew the day would come... A dog tried to bite me and well, lucky me it just got my pants. I was pretty frustrated but it’s just some things that happen in the mission haha.

 

This is a new investigator, Miguel, and he is super awesome. This never happens but he asked for a picture on the first visit and we said, why not??
