Hey Fam!
So this week was insane. It was super devastating because a baptism failed on us the day of BUT we were able to reach our goal of finding 7 new investigators this week and we were only in our area for 3 days this week. Don't mean to brag....but yeah, the Lord loves us and blessed us big time. We honestly did nothing to get these 7 new investigators but we did have the faith and prayed for it every second and He answered our prayers BIG TIME. I also think he blessed us big time because he knew our baptism would fail on us and he wanted to comfort us lol.
So here's the story of the baptism: Loli is 8yrs old and is technically not a mission baptism because she's 8, but she counts for us because we fought our butts off to get her baptized :) She has always wanted to get baptized but her mom could never get a day off of work so we couldn't ever schedule a day for her baptism. After 3 months of this fight, we get a random call on a Wednesday and they told us that Loli was getting baptized that Saturday. It was very rushed and not many people showed up but we did it! We got Loli baptized. Her older sister who was our investigator was also supposed to get baptized but in the end, she didn't :( That was super super sad part but the baptism was still a great day! I love Loli to death!!! She is the most incredible 8yr old in the world. I want to take her home with me so bad. SO BAD! I am going to die when I leave her. I love her.
Out of the 7 news we found this week, one of them we found on the street in the pouring rain. We were running with our crap umbrellas to a cita and there was absolutely nobody in the street except for our dear friend, Jesús. As we were running, I hear a guy shout at me, "HEY! You're umbrella is huge!" I turn around and Im like, "yeah, yeah it is...." I was like, dude you are super weird haha. I wanted to keep running to our cita but he continued to yell at us. So I stopped and decided that I should probably be the Savior's servant and talk to him. We chatted in the pouring rain while he was smoking underneath a little spot out of the rain. He was telling us how he knows our church and would totally be baptized if we didn't have the law of chastity. I was like, "seriously, that's the only reason??" I kinda laughed and was like, "well, Jesús, we are having baptism tomorrow, you should come and we'll teach you more." He totally accepted the invitation and was dead set on coming haha. AND HE DID! HE CAME! It was a huge miracle and he's a little crazy sometimes but we'll see how he progresses.
YAY for lots of miracles! hna Hoffman and I are working our butts off and can't wait to get some baptisms and find even more people! I love this work so much and it makes me sad when I think about how much little time I have. I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of missionary work!! lol love you guys so much. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Eat some candy corn for me.
Love
