Well hello everyone!
This week was a really great one!
many things important happened. one, i completed 18 months! yeah! pictures below. As a tradition with missionaries, we like to burn things on landmark months. 6 months. tie. 12 months, shirt. 18 months, pants. yes. goodbye my least favorite pair of pants. burnt. to a crisp! haha We also had the baptism of Moses. Everything went super well this week, he came to church on sunday with his wife and everything went great. But after church, i went to fill out his paper work and another brother pulled me aside and told me that he just had a good conversation with moses, in which he told him that he already got baptised 4 years ago with his family... we just sat their with our mouths open for a bit. We knew that his wife and kids got baptised. but he had failed to mention that he did. and from what we asked him, he had never been baptised. So we figured we go right ahead and do it. But after that comment we decided that we couldn`t do anything more and had to ask for the records of his wife and kids to see if we can find his. So after lots of stress and possible a little bit of apostasy. Moses was baptised. kind of..... so yeah. Thats my crazy story for the week. I may have just baptised someone that already got baptised. huh
So yeah. We also had a cool experiance. friday we were searching for a refferal in a road. We asked the neighbor if she knew which house was hers. and she said it was the one next to hers. so we contacted the neighbor too and set up an appointment to teach her and her daughters the next day. We searched for the referral, knocked, shouted, but no one answered. So the next day we checked again and she wasn`t there. So we went to the lesson with the neighbor and she and her 2 daughters were AWESOME! We invited them to come to church, and they accepted. Church started and only one investigator was there, but then 15 minutes before sacrament meeting ended, she and her 2 daughters and 4 year old son came in!! woot!! they seemed to love it! So yes. Even though the other 5 people that we were waiting on didn`t come. God gave us a tender mercy and sent us this very awesome family. It streighthened my testimony of contacting. Because here it`s not very effective.
So yes. Those were the highlights of this week. We have 2 other families that we`re working with that have been to church before. But for some reason they didn`t come yesterday. WE`re gonna stop by tomorrow and see whats up with them. But yes. it feels good to complete 18 months. now it`s all downhill really fast. but it makes me happy.
last monday we had district meeting on the beach. we took cool pictures and had an awesome spiritual meeting. I really enjoyed it. But yes. I like the beach, and one day am coming back here. So anyone that wants to come with is definately invited.
Well love you all and hope that your having a fantastic week!
Love
