Baptisms

The baptism went great! I baptized a 14-year old girl, and an 11 year old boy, and it was awesome! They felt the spirit, and it was super cool! And I did it in Spanish, with Spanish names! It was incredible! And the next day in church, we had the confirmations, and the incredible investigator from last week came, and said he wanted to be on time next time! He is absolutely incredible.

My new companion is absolutely amazing! He is from Colombia, and he loves to listen to and sing music! He is such a good missionary, and he is really revitalizing our area! As my second trainer, I feel so blessed to be able to learn from him! I'm learning how to give more interactive lessons, with questions, and helping the investigators feel the spirit. It's so cool!

In our room, we have a new missionary, brand new, from Canada! I assumed he was from the States, but he's Canadian. He knows hardly any Spanish though, so I do a lot of translating! It's pretty fun!

This week was incredible. We met with an investigator who has been investigating for about a year, and he finally realized that he has a testimony! We are super excited to keep teaching him. 

Also, today for P-day, we cooked lunch with a member family, and it was Causa and Pollo de Horno, basically sweet barbecue chicken and rice. It was incredible! It tasted so so good! 

Also, on Sunday, we had lunch with a member who owns a restaurant, and she made us potatoes with this yellow sauce, hard boiled eggs, pasta with pesto sauce, chicken, fried bananas, and jello for dessert. It was so good, but so much food! I might start skipping breakfast, and just work out during breakfast... we'll see! But the peanut butter you sent me smells so good! I might have a spoon of that for breakfast every day!

One thing that I learned from my companion is that if you confide in others, they will confide in you. One of the most important aspects of our relationship with our investigators is trust. It was so cool to see that in action as our investigators opened up to us and told us their stories. Now we understand where they are coming from and how to help them! It's so cool!

Alright, next week, I'm going to make sure we're on time so I can upload the pictures! Sorry! (Pictures added retroactively.)

Love you!
