As for the week. . . . .
This week yielded great results. We worked hard. Tuesday was pretty difficult though. EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING fell through. We basically walked in the street all day and couldn´t get anything to work for our own good. But the rest of the week got better. Taught some. Invited to baptism and we had 2 baptisms this week. Nilda, 26, and Elvis, 14, It was pretty great. Nilda has been investigating the church for a long time. She was almost baptised when the other Elders where here but she went back to her boyfriend who isn´t to good for her. After watching her suffer a lot because her boyfriend is extremely wicked, she finally moved out, found a home for her and her 12 year old boy. We didn´t see her for like four weeks when I was with Elder Armoa but she appeared one day in the condominium and we marked a day to pass her house and she accepted the date for baptism and yeahh... Went pretty well. It was great because Elder Dias, the last Elder that passed this area, came back and did the interview for Nilda. She passed the interview and was baptised. It was very nice watching her progress to baptism. Elvis used to go to church a lot. He was never baptised because something always came up on the day of his baptism, at the start of the transfer I felt inspired to pass his house and reinvite him to church. He didn´t go the first sunday, but this sunday he went. Elder Dias interviewed him, and was baptised. A miricle if you ask me ha.
The sisters also had a baptism, of a woman named Cledina. She is great, photos will follow. And basically that is it. We are hoping to find a family to baptise this transfer. I love finding the people of whom the lord prepared. It´s a wonder to watch the process of conversion. You truly see the faith of the person grow each visit as they progress towards the waters of baptism. The gospel is real
