This week was really good. We went to a
place called Valdepeñas to stay with the hermanas there for a couple
of days to help them out. It was awesome. We found a few people to teach
and we set a baptismal date. The girl is so stinking prepared. I´m
excited to hear about her baptism. It´s a cute little town. Exactly like
Spain.
We had an investigator come to church this week name
Pablo. He seems really prepared. We haven´t taught him too much, but he
agreed to come to church. And get this...he gets there and he says that
his boss only comes in once a month and of course, he decided to come
in today so he had to go to work. He only had about 25 minutes. The
adversary is sure working hard. I´ll tell you, the power of the
adversary is one of the things that has most strengthened my testimony
on my mission. Every time people decide to do something right, without
fail, something goes wrong. So why would he be trying so hard to get
people to not do all of this if it wasn´t the church of Jesus Christ. So
anyway, Pablo came in and after 25 minutes he says that he really wants
to stay but he can´t. But he asked us to come over on Tuesday because he has a lot of questions. We are excited for that.
Oh boy, funny story with Linda. So Linda is that
Chinese investigator that we have been teaching that doesn´t speak
Spanish and little English. Well we decided to teach her baptism and we
brought all the right things for it. Chinese pamphlets, several pictures
of baptisms, and we practiced that morning a few times how we were going
to teach her in simple terms. Well, what an epic fail it was. We ended up
inviting her to be bathed. We explained baptism and told her she would
be clean. That was a mistake because when we extended the invitation,
she was very confused and asked why she needed to shower and what that
had to do with God. Hahaha, we all had a good laugh. We tried to explain
it in different words, but it was hard. She looked at the word in Chinese
and hadn´t heard of it and we showed the pictures and she didn´t know.
It was crazy. It´s not only hard to learn about religion when you have
no background, but to learn it in a different language is even harder. We
are going to try again. It was pretty funny. She will get it though!
Oh my, so yesterday at church, a member named
Ricardo comes to church and tells me he bought me a present. He takes my
companion and I out to his car and opens the trunk and takes out a
little baby rat. I wanted to die. It was a little baby and was the
cutest thing my eyes had seen in a year. But the problem is that we
can´t have pets in the mission so I was devastated. I held that little
guy (his name is Vadagorn...cross between Vader and Aragorn) for a long
time before I had to give him back. Ricardo was mad I couldn´t take him
and I´m pretty sure he is going to let him loose. I´m pretty sad about
it. I wish I could have kept him. So that was an interesting part of the
week.
Well, that´s about all. Happy St. Patrick´s Day. Hope
you are all wearing green. Thanks everyone for everything and love you
all lots. Have a fantastic week!
