Hey everyone!
Money!!!
Cooking in their apartment.
This week has been really good! We have been living in our tiny house with 4 missionaries the last week and a half and it is rough! Ha ha it is super crowded but it is fun to have a lot of people together where we can just talk and hang out. We should be having 2 baptisms this week on Friday and we will see how they go! There is a funny story about how we put the baptismal date actually! We were sitting in church yesterday and an investigator that we had been teaching showed up and I said to my companion that we should put a baptismal date with him right after sacrament meeting! So we asked him if we could meet for a second and he said of course. We went into the room and talked for a little bit and then all of a sudden he just looked at us and he said, look I need to talk to you guys about something.... and of course we got all scared that he was going to drop us our something. And he said look I have really been thinking about this church and I know that it is true and that this is the best way to live my life and I know the book of mormon is true and I love all of the members here. And I have been thinking about this baptism thing and I really want to get baptized as soon as possible, I dont know if I talk to you guys about when I can get baptized or what but I would like to know when I can do it..... Me and my companion just looked at each other with our mouths open not knowing what to say so we asked him if he would like to be baptized this Friday with another person and he said he would love to! But he would love for his family to get baptized as soon as possible too because he knows it will make his family better! Those are the days where you are just bursting with joy! Ha ha it was so cool and it really does prove that the Lord prepares people out here and as missionaries we really don't do anything, we just show them the way and they do it according to their desires. It was such a cool experience! Other than that this week has been pretty normal! We are working hard and I am still stoked about my new gringo companion and my new area! I am loving it!!
I hope everyone has an amazing week!
