This week was better than what I've had for the past little bit. We
got lots of work done, including getting the over-grown weeds and
grass cut in front of our pension :P
We were blessed this week with a great baptism! Osvaldo Naranjo is the
dad of a part-member family, so it's a big step for them. I didn't
realize how big of a baptism this would be for the people here, until
this week I started hearing things like "Osvaldo's getting baptized?!
No way! He's been investigating for about 4-5 years! He was my old
professor/my son's professor. He's my mechanic. I never would've
thought this day would come!", and a bunch of stuff like that! He's a
really great guy that has found a love of reading the scriptures. He
was especially surprised and excited when we presented to the family a
Bible and a Book of Mormon in an extra-large size because they have
trouble seeing things! He's been excited too to get right to work in
the church, so we're planning on using him well ;) The baptismal
service was actually one of the smoothest services I've ever had on
the mission--normally there's something crazy that happens! But no,
everything was just nice and pleasant :)
We were also blessed with various new investigators, so we have people
to teach and prepare in Osvaldo's place, as well as the other
investigator we're planning on baptizing this next weekend!
Can't wait for interviews tomorrow, and receiving transfer calls this
week (I'm always curious to see the changes in the mission)! Gollee
time is flying by!
Love you all!
