Trying to get things going around here

So this week was really interesting... but something really sucky happened this morning.  I was washing my clothes and we don’t have a pila so I was washing them in the kitchen sink and I finished and hung them all up to dry when the clothes line fell and basically of my clothes were covered in dirt.  It was the worst. I was ticked. 

Another side note I asked my companion how to say barbwire in Spanish and it is ‘alambre de peas’ but it sounds like pooa** it made me laugh so hard. It’s like swearing without swearing. hahaha 

Also can’t believe I got my flight plans. I don’t really understand it. But I guess I’m going home pretty soon its nuts! 

So this week was supposed to be the baptism of Chris. And it turns out that president made a new rule that we aren’t allowed to go back to our old areas for baptisms. Chris wanted an elder to baptize him and wanted me there. But both of us weren’t able to come. It made him so sad and so deceived that he decided not to get baptized. That was very disappointing. After all the work we did with him. I couldn’t believe. I still don’t believe it. And now he doesn’t know if he wants anything with the church anymore which was pretty disappointing. I don’t know what to think about this. But we gotta keep on moving on. 

But I found a scripture in Acts:14:22 that is one of my favorites:

Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 

I love it because it shows us that we need tribulations in order to return to live with our Heavenly Father and I know what happened to Chris is just another tribulation he needs to go through. I know when he gets baptized it will be a real conversion. And I know he will be such a great leader in this church. 

This week I got a cold which is kind of a bummer. I’m so sick of colds. But I’m almost better thank goodness. Everything is going good here. We are trying our best to find more investigators to teach because we don’t have a lot right now. This area is a little different and I haven’t quite figured it out yet. So we will see what we can do. 

So we had a baptism for this coming Saturday with Roxana and Cecilia but they love changing the dates. Now they are going to get baptized in October so her little daughter can get her blessing on the same day they get confirmed. So hopefully they will get baptized in October! 

With every week I’m kind of running out of things to say. It’s been pretty hot here. And it rains at night but not a lot thank goodness. But anyways love you all! Have a wonderful week!
