Hola!
SO THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!!!
First
off, we had 6 investigators at church yesterday!! 6!!! That is the
standard of excellence, and it's super rare to hit it! It was incredible!
Sergio came by himself, Rosa and her 2 daughters came (Karin que tiene
13 años y Julie con 8), Veilma (a new investigator) and Rosa brought
along her sister!!! They all loved it!
On the other hand, I personally thought the church service itself was kinda' horrible. No one could sing, it was very unorganized, I had to give an impromptu talk on faith that I wasn´t told about, and the clases weren´t that grand. And yet ALL the investigators felt the spirit strongly. It's nice to know the Lord will testify about the truthfullness of His church regardless of how the members participate ;-) The investigatores were in the true church of Christ, and therefore felt His spirit, and it was pretty cool to hear them talk about their experience after Church. :) So looks like this week we will baptize Sergio, Rosa y sus Hijas!! 4!!!! :D
So I finally broke the "be in on time rule." Sergio doesn´t have a working phone right now, so we have to set up citas and just hope he'll come. Well one day last week he didn´t. So we went to his house to find him, but instead found a drunk friend of his and were forced to stay and chat :p. Sergio eventually showed up!! :D But then he started making a pizza!!! -- and we only had 10 minutes to get home! But we couldn't easily leave, so we waited it out and got back 30 minutes late. :p But the pizza was good. ;)
So I have been out a little over 6 months, and Elder Pickle's been out for a year now ...so we decided to celebrate!!! He bought 1 kilo of ice cream, and I bought a 1/2 kilo. It was so yummy. :)
We've also found a super nice new apartment; it's a 6-room house! Soooo nice!!! :D But it won´t be ready until about a month from now :p So we will just wait it out. :p And I'll probably miss out on it altogether :-(
OK, so, it is really super hot down here. I hate huminity. I refuse to live in a
place that has huminity. It just makes everything so much worse. But I'm
lov'n the rain! I LOVE IT! I love being soaked, because then the heat is
bearable. And it is quite fun traversing through rivers and such. I feel
like a boss.
Well, my time is up. I love it here, and I am super pumped about the baptisms. The work in our area is finally picking up. I´m happy. And that is all that matters. :)
I know the Church is true. :)
Love Elder Clemons
