Solo muchas fotos

Hola broderes! 

Not a whole lot to talk about here, but I´ve got a whole bunch of pictures. Hope you like them!

Also we are entering the last week of the transfer. I am almost sure that  I´m leaving this sector.

In a move we broke a mirror. Eek!

We had a baptism! Nathali was sooo happy!

We celebrated the baptism with some jell-o

And dressing up with silly hats.

Wanting to go to a toy store, but...

Hola mis panas! 

My companion and I wanted to find a set of uno cards to play this week so we asked around and the members told us where we could find a toy store, and just as we were getting there, I noticed that it was in the other mission. The division line was the street just before the mall with the toy store. Oops. We had to just go back empty handed.  =P

This week was had some great successes. 
Nathali (we found out it is written with ´ h´ this week) past her interview for baptism, but she was really worried because her mom said she was already baptized. We told Nathali that she should share her testimony with her mom, and about 30 minutes ago we called her and she said that her mom is ok that she is going to get baptized. We are super happy!

Also we set up the son of the family I talked about last week (Serpa Family) on a baptismal date, and he said that he wanted to be baptized with his mom, but we heard from the neighbors, the Mora family (that were baptized about a month ago)  that Jesus (the son) wants to be baptized, so we  will have another baptism in 3 more weeks.

When we went to visit Mariana, her boss showed up and kicked us out. We are going to have to wait until she is free.

On Saturday, a different ward sent their young men to join us for the day. It was really great to meet 2 great young boys David and Mateo. We worked really hard with them. I´m sure they returned home exhausted.

This change only has two more weeks, and I´m pretty sure I will be leaving this sector. The baptisms  we are setting up now, I won´t see, but that is fine for me.

I forgot to bring my adapter today so I´ll have to send pictures another day.

Nos vemos!

Carnaval

Hola todos!

This week had a lot of really great miracles. 

Nataly is still good and happy. She really wants to see the spirit more in her life. 

Also this week we found a part member family that hadn´t been to church in a long time. But the wife, who isn´t a member and never wanted anything to do the church decided last week that she wanted to come to church. They came again this week and are really interested. We are going to put a date this week.

This week we found someone named Mariana, who is from Venezuela. When we taught the first vision the dogs and cars outside were making lots of noise, so I prayed that she could feel the spirit, and when my companion asked her how she felt about that, she said that it touched her soul. She already has a testimony of the first vision. She wants to be baptized also.

This week for p-day we played sports and played a little bit of carnaval by dumping water on each other and spraying shaving cream or something like that. We had a great time. Also for the crazy parties here we have to be in the house at 6 since Saturday until Tuesday. A little dull staying in the house like that.

Lastly, I cooked one of my favorite dishes in the house of members. It didn´t turn out the same because the tomato paste was homemade, and the cheese isn´t the same. But it turned out incredible and all of the members in the house loved it. (I snuck some hot sauce in it and they didn´t really realize =P)

Here are some photos.



Hail, rain and lots of fun

Hola todos, 

We had a really great week. Sadly a lot of people that came to church last week, couldn´t meet with us this week, so we couldn´t invite them to baptism.

But this week we found a lot of great people, and mostly because of the rain. We found a family that were moving and helped them out, in the rain. Also when the downpour hit us and we didn´t have any rain clothes, we knocked on a door and they let us in. The dad of the family said he was praying to find the word of God. God answers prayers! Miracles exist!

Natali also is really excited. We are happy because of that!

This p-day we took a ski lift to the top of a mountain, but when the rain hail and thunderstorms started we quickly dropped down the mountain. 




This week was just rain and hail and everything. Hopefully I don´t get athletes foot.

Hasta la proxima!
