Its been a great two weeks! Last week I wasnt able to right because all the internet place closed for a holiday called Carnaval. So Gustavo got baptized! it was great, the actual baptizing part was really difficult though. Since he is in a wheelchair it was a little tricky. After thirty minutes of trying to get him in the water, we finally did it by bringing a chair in the water and sitting him down, my companion baptizing him and me in the water holding down his legs. He was pretty nervous but in the end was relieved.
Elder Vances last week was good, he was pretty trunky not gonna lie but we finished good with a baptism so, mission accomplished! Now Im with Elder Dye from Idaho. We were companions for a week a year ago, so we already knew eachother well and start off our first week great with good teaching unity. We had whats called Council this past week, which is like a meeting with all the zone leaders, the sister training leaders, the assistents, and president, talking about whats happening in the mission and what we need to improve on. So that was a cool experience, we got to go to president Robertsons house that is in a different mission, and ate american food for lunch, so good!
So this week we couldnt find hardly any of our investigators, they were on vacation, or working all week, so no updates for them. However we have been working with a new investigator we found two weeks ago thats starting to progress really well, her name is Cintia. Shes had a rough life and doesnt really believe in all the churches. After teaching the Restoration, we helped her to understand better, and how her focus she be on christ not all that goes on in the churches. She accepted to read and pray. The next time we went by she had read but not prayed, and then after that, the next time we went by she had prayed and gotten her answer! It was really cool, its not very common that that happens like that. So now we are helping her recognize what her answer means so she can connect it to the restore Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yesterday we had a great lesson on the Plan of Salvation. So she is progressing well and has plans to come to church next Sunday!
Love you all, Have a happy week!
