Easter was not very eventful, they dont really
celebrate it very much, they do something else called Semana Santa
meaning Holy Week. I will explain that a little later though. But we did
go to a converts house and had dinner and so it was decent.
We
had one of the baptizms happen this week, Jose Angel. The others are
still set and stone, probably for this next week. This Semana Santa is
screwing everything up. Jose Angel, though. So he went in for his
Baptizmal Interview and told the Elder that he had a dream the night
before and in that dream he went to his baptizm and a demonic being came
up to him and told him not to do it. Really freaky, but Satan is trying
everything to stop us from prgoressing. So yeah the Elder answered him
and told him it was Satans doing and that there is no need to worry. We
baptized him Sunday morning and confirmed him in Sacrament Meeting (Our
Sacrament is last) The look on his face when he came out of the water
was so awesome! You could just tell that he felt soooo good. REally
strengthened my testimony on how awesome this work is and what it can do
for people. The attached picture is right before his baptizm... Well...
I cant get the photo to upload...I will try and get it next week,
sorry.
Well
as for my doings this week, there is not much. This Semana Santa has
just messed everything up. What it is, is kindof a Easter celebration
but 2 weeks long (LAst week and the week before that.) They do various
things in celebration though it only started effecting our work this
last week. So yeah, like for example this last Friday everyone and I
mean EVERYONE stayed inside and did not answer the door. Something about
taking in Christs sacrifice and what not. really wierd how they do it
but yeah. Oh and this isnt just a Catholic thing its a Mexican Culture
thing so all the Christians, Jehovahs Witnesses, Evangelists, and what
not were into this. Yeah so it sucked, you can go Google it for more
info.
We were knocking doors this week and found someone,
and at first we just spoke Spanish to him and what not like normal, but
all of a sudden he switched over to English. Kindof freaked me out but
yeah, so we talked in English! Then we taught, in English! So very
difficult and wierd, we kept slipping in Spanish words here and there so
it made it hard to really teach. But we did it. The guy however is
super Evangelist and keeps telling us we are wrong. It is really wierd
because he accepts everything but wont do anything about it. Were going
to give him another try and see were that goes.
WEll, that really is it for this week... Nothing to exciting, but what can I do, hopefully this week will be much better.
