On Monday...not much happened. Your average P-day.
Tuesday was good. We were doing contacts and got into this guys house, he was reall nice and humble (lived in a very humble home) and he was watching some pastor on the tv. and out of nowhere he starting crying! Some weird stuff happens on the mission. Also, the other night I had a spiritual prompting to knock this door. Well she said we could come back another day, so we wet back and she was just golden! But we found out she isn't from here, and it was her last day there on Tuesday! So that was a bit of a downer. But then we went to Sonias house, and she had her baptism interview. Which she passed!! So that was really amazing.
On Wednesday we got a random call from a ward missionary telling us to go over to a new converts house. Not sure if I told you about her, Hermana Flor. She is really strong in the church but can't go because she had to take care of here 99 year old dad. Well on Wednesday he passed away, so that was sad.
On Thursday we did some contacts and we talked to 2 ladies who were super dura. In english that would be hard, but they're like stubborn. But yeah, that was interesting, it usually is.
On Friday we had a surprise conference with the new president of the mission. (We got there late, its a longer story). Anyways we had a short little conference in Concepcion. But it was really cool. His spanish is really good for not practicing for 30 years. But I could really tell that he was called by the Lord to serve here. But it looks like there's gonna be some changes to the mission work worldwide. We got a small glance but we'll know more for sure after interviews. Then Hermana Humphrey afterwords talked to us about how good Toy Story 3 was, she trying to get us trunky I guess. So then we were waiting in the terminal to go home, the Uruguay / Ghana game was on. And all of a sudden 2 guys starting beating this guy, I guess he was robbing. But it happened right next to us, it was pretty intense.
Saturday was an incredibly weird day. We did a contact with an atheist kid, and he let us in and we talked to his family, who were all atheist (that doesn't happen much here in Chile). But it was super wierd! One, they were really rich. It was a masive house (which is probably like a normal sized house in the states) but it really didn't feel like we were in Chile for a bit. Wierd. Then we talked to a guy we talked to the other week, and he may or may not have been high. A weird day overall. And we talked to Sonia and she picked me to baptize her.
Sunday was really rainy and windy. But after the church we had the baptism! It went really well. I love baptisms, I'm just so glad I can be a part in the marvelous work. Her sister came and watched it, so that was cool. A funny thing, our rain coats got locked in the church for a couple hours, so we got pretty wet. But other than that, this week was a very good and eventful week.
We've got a couple more investigators were teaching, and were working on getting them to church. But that's about it that happened this week! Sorry for typing errors, this keyboards dumb. But yeah, I can't believe time is going by so fast. But have a great week everyone, I love you all. The church is true! And in case you were wondering, we've walked 88 miles in the last week and 3 days. ¡Harto caminando!
Enjoy!
