8/20

Ok. One. Heck. Of. A. Week.

 

 

But, I will make you wait to findout about what happened! Mwahahaha so cruel am I?

 

Yisenea and her daughter actually got baptized this week, so yeah. :D Picture attached! Yisenea, obviously, is the mom and the daughter Joselyn, obivously, is super shy. It is so funny. She got into the water and was freaking out cuz she thought we were gonna drown her or something, but then after the baptizm she did not want to leave th water, hahaha so funny!

 

Yep 11 was crazy to juggle, but 8 of them got baptized this week. Yisenea and Joselyn and the family of 6, which I will tell you about a bit later.

 

 

And later is now, because you asked me about it. Hahaha.

 

 

So the family of six. Well, at first, all this week we were having a ton of trouble finding them. Friday night, the night before there baptizm we called them and the mom told us "We want to wait to get to know the church some more." Well... As you guys know me. I am not one to wait. And I was not gonna let that happen. So being the stud muffin I am, We went to there house Saturday night, (All day saturday they had some last minute changes and went out of town.) And kindly demolished them with the Spirit, telling them that there really is no need to wait. We had taught them everything and they were all ready, and so there was no need to wait. To make a longish story short, we convinced them to get baptised on Sunday. Sunday rolls around and we couldn´t do it before church, so we did it after. Baptized all 6 of them. As for names, We will look at the picture I sent you. The one with ALL of the family so I can give you the names of the 3 kids that did not get baptized. Back row. ME! The mom Amallaly, the dad Jose Luis, Daniel, Irvin, and my comp. The kid in white to the left of the dad infront of the mom is Adrian, the one on the right is Leonardo. The 3 little kids, the girl, is Diana, the kid in front is Victor, and the kid in back that you cant see very well is Carlos. 9 people in the family, 6 baptized. Super awesome service too, and the younger ones took the oppurtunity to swim in the pila... so funny... After the service we confirmed the dad because his work schedule wouldn´t let him get confirmed until 3 weeks later, and that is a long time to go inbetween the baptizm and confirmation without the Spirit. The rest of the family will get confirmed this week at church.

 

The one guy we did not baptized, the reason for that was because all of a sudden last minute him nor his family wanted him to get baptized. Something about wanting to live a "Vida Libre" meaning a "Free Life" with no restrictions. Basically he did not want to live the commandments of God.

 

The cool thing though, is an old investigator came back to us on Sunday and said he wants to get baptized this week. So Tuesday we are having his service. So cool. So I will still have 9 just in a different way.

 

 

To answer your questions. Being senior Companion and District Leader and having that many baptizms is just kindof bragging rights. Senior companion means I had to take over when my compnaion could not answer, meaning I answered the majority of the questions. And District Leader because ontop of all of my responsibilities as district leader I was able to have that many baptizms. Alot of it is just to say oh look I did that with all of my other things to do as well... The rock will be mine foreva! MWahahaha! And it just to signify that I had 10 baptizms in 1 month. As in my case, I will atleast have had 10, and with the one coming down the pipe this week, then I could have 11 or more. Just another bragging rights thing, to show that I had 10 baptizms. :D if you get 15 you get one a little bigger and if you get 25 President gives you an even larger black one and I think he invites you to dinner at his house. But hardly anyone has had that many in a month.

Thanks for all the help homies! Hahaha. I loves you all!
