Hello my friends,
Awesome week this week. Yesterday we had a baptism (back to back). One of our investigator's named Rafaela got baptized. We've been teaching her and her family for a long time so it was a really cool day. Also it was cool because this week she started to have some doubts and she wasn't sure that she was ready to get baptized. We talked with her a lot and were able to help her with those doubts, and she decided she was ready to get baptized. After the baptism there were no doubts. I asked her how she felt after the service and she looked at me with tears of joy in her eyes and said, "I'm very content." It was awesome. Also afterward two of her grandsons said they wanted to follow her example and start listening to our lessons!
ALSO we have two investigators that have been listening to the missionaries for a super long time (if you don't know what a long time is, it means 6 years). The problem is that they're not married. The woman, Karla, wanted to get married and get baptized, but the man, Joel, kept saying that he didn't want to get married. Last week we asked them to talk seriously about marriage and what they are going to do. This Friday, when we visited them again, Joel said that he was finally able to look at marriage differently and that he knew it was necessary. He was able to see how marriage would help his family, house, job, etc., and said that it was going to happen before the end of this year. Great progress.
That was the best of the week! I'll keep you all updated on the other awesome stuff I do in the near future. Have a great week!
