Alright so this week was really great. We had my first baptism of an investigator. Angel Nazareno Flores. He was pretty much ready when I got transferred here because my boy McLovin´ was singlemomming this area for the last three transfers and taught them a lot, but I got here in time to see it finished. So that was an awesome moment from the week. He got baptized on the same day as his 8 year old brother Thiago, so I had some flashbacks of my baptism. It was a really great experience. Then we also confirmed them. Now there is an interesting story haha. So there are two parts to baptism, first the baptism by water and second, recieving the Holy Ghost as a constant companion. Before we get baptized and confirmed we can feel the spirit, but it is not until after we are confirmed that it is a constant companion. So McDonald and the Dad each baptized one of the kids. and then the dad was supposed to confirm both of them, but for Thiago the dad asked me to do it on the spot. Well first he asked McDonald, then McDonald said I would do it. So I confirmed Thiago a member of the church. On the spot. Crazy time to be alive. Other than that we cleaned the baptism font and had a large ward activity for Christmas. I really do like it here. Other cool experience we had this week, we left on Sunday in the night with plans to go visit some people, and we just went a completely different way and found this guy who we have been trying to teach forever. We taught him and at the end he asked for a blessing of health because he has to get surgery. He said after the blessing that we were not alone in that moment. It was a super strong spirit that we felt. It has been a super good week. We have been teaching a lot and the members totally love the missionaries. My comp, Elder McDonald is from Las Vegas and is really cool. We get along really well. Our apartment is just the two of us and now it is finally clean after our diligent efforts. And we are working hard to do what Jesus would do.
Well to explain the pics
