Week #23 Baptism

Hola everyone!!

I only have 5 minutes so I'll just give the highlights!

Baptism!!!! She is named Gloria and she was supposedly already baptized but the church lost her papers so she had to be re-baptized and reconfirmed. That was super exciting. we traveled to barberena where 7 people were being baptized! One of the other participants fainted two times during her baptism. Once before the baptism and once in the font. She saw her dad and brother who had already passed away because the spirit was so strong for her. (the Holy Ghost) Presidente Shumway baptized her and her husband because they had tons and tons of challenges and he taught them one lesson so that was also super special. We have another baptism this Saturday!

Another thing that happened was that one of our most pilas investigators missed church even though he said he would come. We called him 5 times and he didn't answer. then a few hours later he called us back and told us he had slept in and that no se que me paso! I don't know what happened to me! I thought that was really funny. 😂

The other thing that happened was that one of our other investigators was talking to his mom  and she told him that he was already baptized and that she brought him to church when he was little. We looked for him in the records of the church and there he was already baptized. *facepalm* But that’s good because now we can just start reactivating him!

This might be my last week here in Cerinal and if it is it was super good! We have exchanges the 28th of november but I might stay because I asked Presidente Shumway and he told me he didn't
know. Usually there's a high chance that the missionary that has been in an area the longest leaves but he said he didn't know which gives me hope that I get to stay another 6 weeks! I still feel like there is more service teaching and helping that I can do here, but I am ready to do whatever the Lord wants!

Lots of love,
