Week 53
Whoo!! Still celebrating 1 year this week with the baptism of Gerik! We had a little situation when our baptism clothes got lost with the uber flash, but the day of, we had a back up plan to get clothes from aserri. Which is about half an hour away in uber flash which is like a delivery service. Well the uber flash came through! Just a day late. We got the clothes from another area.
I loved that as we sang the opening song "cuando me bautice," I was leading the song and I just had the thought come to me that "the spirit is here." The spirit was there in the baptism! and we had 2 friends who came to see it even though we have only known them for a week or so. They were very interested and some great ward members were talking and sharing about what was going on. In our last lesson with Gerik, his mom also shared a cool story about how his brother chose to leave the party! It was basically a situation similar to the church video about drugs and leaving the party early.
We found another little kid in the primary and shared a short lesson with him. They came to church on Sunday and his mom said he is reading the Book of Mormon and he can't put it down. How cool is that! A nine year old! We años made a reading schedule for another family, and it is so cute because they're actually reading the scriptures together almost every day.
We had exchanges and interviews which added to the chaos and fun! We found lots of people in the streets during intercambios and got lots of free stuff! In Equipo de sueños, we were talking to someone and had such a great lesson and we asked where they lived and they said dulce nombre de la unión. I responded back like three times with en serio? Because that's in our area! I don't know if anyone has ever been so perfectly in our area.
And we had fun finding someone when we helped her carry her groceries to her house and then we shared a short message with her, she said a 5 or 7 minute prayer, and then she invited us to come back again another time. It was also funny because she would randomly say words in English haha
"Jesús nos prometió un compañero fiel;
el Santo Espíritu para guiarnos hacia el bien. Jesús también le llama el Consolador; y Él nos brinda Su ayuda y consolación."
I loved a thought a member shared this last week about the spirit. The spirit is like the air, we need it to live! The Spirit really is mi amigo fiel, nuestro amigo fiel.
