Fun P-Day
¡Buenas!
Well, another good week in the mission field. To get to the best news first, we had a baptism this Saturday!!!
It almost wasn´t going to happen because he was working a lot, his
phone seemed to always be turned off when we needed to contact him, and
he had job interviews - that have gone well - in Villanueva. Despite all
this, he was able to pass the interview the night before and be
baptized the next day.
We were planning on starting the baptism around 4:30 but he didn´t get back from work until 5:20
or so. It was a good baptismal service and a lot of people showed up.
We performed the ordinance in a nearby river at dusk. He was super
nervous, but a member friend was able to help him out. We closed the
meeting at the church by singing "Conmigo quédate, Señor"...classic. The
next day, we had to call him to wake him up for the confirmation, but
he still arrived on time. He is really smart, great (changed) guy, and
has a lot of potential, but I still worry for him a little bit. We are
going to do everything we can to help him continue on the covenant path
and stay active.
I did divisions with Elder C from Dallas, Texas this Thursday.
We had a really good day with some good lessons. During one of the
lessons with member, I had challenged S at the end to baptism
and she accepted. Today, however, we found out she will be working for
our investigator L with fecha bautismal for the 14th of Febuary. For
L to get baptized, she needs to go to church, and for that to
happen, she wants someone (o sea, S) to be in her restaurant on
Sundays. Awkward dilemma. Either S will get baptized or L
unless something else happens.
We had a really good Sunday.
The branch president got released and will be on the High Council. Our
new branch president is super pilas and I know we will have a lot of
success this year. The stake president and his counselor came and had a 2
hour combined sunday
school to present parts of the 2015 Plan de Area for Central America.
Each member will be getting a cardstock sheet that has a calendar for
2015 with boxes for FHE, prayer, scripture study, and a check mark for
tithing, fast offerings, and temple names. Super cool and hopefully will
help members do the little things so that a capilla can be built this
year and that plans can be made for a temple here in SPS soon.
Well,
my companion and I had some more setbacks this week and we didn´t start
progressing until we hit "rock-bottom" but I´m doing the best I can. He
literally is showing the exact same signs of what I had and did with my
trainers Elder P and Elder S. I´m trying to be patient and
humble enough to improve personally.
I´ll now
talk about the p-day last week and today's p-day. Last week, we hiked a
hill near Río Lindo. Cool pics. Today as a zone, we went to Pulhapanzak
again. It was raining, but it was fun. I´ll send some pics.
Well,
nothing else really. Right now we are preparing for some baptisms for
the 7th and the 14th of febrero. I hope you guys have a great week!
