To All -
ALRIGHHHTY then! The week was a good one and all is well of course : ) We had the baptism of Isabelly this week, an awesome 11 year old who went to church 4 weeks in a row alone(that includes getting the bus and everything)! There is a rule here on the mission that anyone younger than 15 has to go 4 times or have a family member that is active in order to be baptized. . . so missionaries don't go around baptizing young people who will soon be another inactive member. Anyways, she is a cutie and is truly a bright young girl. She will be a great example to her parents who both drink and wouldn't even go to watch her baptism. punks.
I got a call this week . . from my last comp. He was at Messias' house (the man/family I almost baptized before leaving that area, who was smoking) and he passed the phone over so I could talk to them. They told me that the whole family had made the decision to be baptized and that Messias was done smoking. One more 'full joy' moment. She was going to pass the phone around but they were all crying and no one could talk haha. Love them! What an awesome family they are and will be, wish I could have been there for the baptism!
Like I already said, we live here in a house of 6 missionaries (the only house like that on the mission) and we don't have lunch nor dinner with members. . . So we have to make our own. Last thursday was our day and we left in the morning to buy the stuff. When we came back, the door was locked and we had no way to get in. So what do you do? . . . I started trying to bend our little metal window thingy that we have on the door and saw that it just MIGHT work. I found a rock and stick in the street and using the little muscle I have left and the slighty knowledge I have about the power of leverage. . . I got the gap open wide enough for my comp to throw his arm through the window and open it up. Long story short, we broke into our house, proved that it was possible, and made an . . average lunch. . . haha. It wasn't as tasty as the first I'll say that much!
We are excited about the work.... juicing our minds of every idea we might have to get and keep the branch here a little stronger. This week we will start English class to see if we can get to know a ton of people who live around the church and then convert their families : ) . . gotta be blunt right? . . that is why we are going to do the class! gotta run! Love you all!!
