Mi Gente Que Tranzita,
Pretty awesome week. One of our investigators told us on Saturday night, out of nowhere, that she wanted to get baptized and confirmed on Sunday so that she could go to the temple with the other youth from our ward this week. So we made it happen! Her name is Monica. She was the only non-member from her family so it was pretty easy to teach and baptize her. She was able to get baptized and confirmed yesterday and it was an awesome service. My boy Elder Santiago in the offices is gonna put her information in the system today so that she can go do baptisms this week!
Also Ulisses, the awesome dude that's been to jail and has maybe killed somebody before (who knows) started reading the Book of Mormon all by himself this week to help calm him down in difficult times. He read about Enos and was interested in learning about repentance, just like Enos was able to do through his prayer. We had a really great lesson with him and he says that he'll go to church with us (for the very first time) this Sunday. He's such a cool guy. And I feel safer in my area because I'm his friend hahaha.
On Friday we did divisions with some other Elders because I teach a white lady in their area and she doesn't speak any Spanish. And I'm the only white person in this area so I go over there every Friday. It's pretty dang difficult because (1) I'm not used to teaching in English, and (2) She asks a TON of questions. She's super skeptical about everything. And then later that evening we had a literally debate with a family about religious beliefs which was fun because nobody got their feelings hurt. And it was funny because they're supposedly from the same religion but they started to disagree on so many things and were almost yelling at each other. There were a lot of interruptions and wild ideas flying around in that room. That was a first for me.
That's it for the week! Hope you all are doing well! Love and miss you all!
Elder Warren
