WEEK 11 - Whatever Week This is: Baptisms

This week was AWESOME, basically the whole week we focused mainly on preparing Eidy and Luz for their baptisms.

Tuesday
I woke up on Tuesday feeling super sick to my stomach and that has basically plagued me all week, but I feel mostly better now. Basically the things to note from Tuesday were our visits to Luz and Eidy where we finished up teaching the last couple things we needed to teach.

Wednesday
Wednesday we went in the morning to finish chopping the "backyard" of an investigators house. It was hot. But I was priviledged enough to get the longer machete this time. So I wasn't completely dead by the end, I also chopped down a tree with the machete (new experience). After that we went to visit Luz and Eidy again, this time for the pre-interviews. They were both good, but we gave them each a little bit to study for Friday. At night we went and visited Ingrid, she is a
lawyer and friends with the bishop, cause he is a lawyer as well. She basically listens and understands everything we teach her, including the three kingdoms of glory, using D&C.

Thursday
Thursday we had a district meeting. Because our district is us and 6 Hermanas, and Elder Alarcon is the DL, I usually end up being the only Elder when we play games. Which is always super fun. We played Scripture Jeopardy. After that we went to met with another niña, Kimberly. She has tons and tons of questions, and she is really smart.

Friday
Friday was really good, I ended up going on exchanges with our ZL, Elder Smith, to do the interviews. He knew both of the investigators and said he was thrilled for both of them. He said that he was surprised that Eidy had accepted us, because whenever he went before, she would hide from the missionaries, the Lord truly has touched her heart. We were also nervous for Luz's interview cause she is a little timid, but Elder Smith said it was one of the best interviews he has
ever had with a child. She knew everything.

Saturday
Saturday morning we went and cleaned the font for the baptisms. It was really fun to get back into cleaning, just like the old days. After that we went and worked for a little while and then had the baptisms. It was amazing. I am so happy for both of them.

Sunday
Sunday both of them got confirmed during Sacrament meeting. It was so awesome. I am so grateful to be here. After that we went to visit Ingrid again, she again listened to everything, understood everything, and we talked about baptism. She was a little hesitant but she said that if she receives an answer she is going to be baptized.

Great week! Love you all!
