This week has been really crazy. We have had so much to do. Well were to start at...
Tuesday we had interviews with the New president president Arrington.
Interviews went really well. It went basically how I planned it would. I
explained to him the reason why I was here and that I was the ZL in Conce
but came to help out my comp. He basically told me that I needed to
keep working hard and being an example for my comp. He said to keep
working hard and finish strong... See you in 3 weeks... It went just as I
thought it would.
We had the interview for Tatiana and she passed on Tuesday.
She had been smoking about 15 cigarettes a day and has completely
stopped now. We are really excited for her. She was wanting to get
baptized as soon as possible. She was literally crying during her
baptism she was so happy. It was a really great baptism.
Thursday
morning we went and got the couple married. Only bad news... the dad
left and went drinking for three full days and was plastered for a
couple days. We don´t understand. He had been doing so well... and then
he goes and blows it like that. We were ticked. His wife told us if he
showed up to the house she had a two by four in the back room that she
was gonna swing across his head if he walked in the front door. She
wasn´t happy at all.
We were having problems figuring out when we could
do the baptism. The bishop was giving us a little trouble with when we
could do it. He´s not even in charge of the baptisms pres Arrington is. But Tatiana wanted to do it Saturday so we did it Saturday. He wanted to do it Sunday
so there was more people... but then she was gonna have to wait a week
to receive the spirit. She was gonna need the spirit to help fight back
smoking temptations. She was confirmed on Sunday and her daughter ended up coming to see it. It was really cool.
Last night we had a mini FHE with her,
her daughter and a neighbor. We are going to start teaching the neighbor
and hopefully the daughter. The daughter comes down every weekend from Conce so she could come to church.
It´s a bummer we can´t do the homecoming and farewell the same day. Dang I´m bummed now. See what you can all do.
Ask Baileigh if she read the book. The answers to the test are just common sense. tell her to read the book completely!
I´m feeling 80% better and the package did arrive.
Pop tarts made it safely and the peanut butter is amazing. I have been
taking the pills daily and they have been really helping.
Glad the cousins made it to their new missions. That´s really exciting. Hope they are doing well.
This
week we are going to focus on finding new people and getting the family
baptized. Miguel Maria and Yolanda. pray that they get their answer to
their prayers. They are really struggling.
Well not much else happening. hope everyone is doing well. I love you all and miss you tons.
