Alright this week was
really sweet!! We finally got the Loyola's and Bro. Balosa baptized! Their
baptisms were way awesome! Bro Balosa got baptized first and he is so old! I
guess he didn't close his nose or mouth when he went down, he just covered his
face, he came up coughing and stuff it was kind of sad. haha but than my Trainer,
Elder Hibbert messed up and didn't dunk him all the way so he had to do that
twice! Also than he Baptized Bro. Loyola and than I baptized Sister. Loyola. I
was way nervous, but when I started the prayer I just felt calm and happy. I
dunked her way deep so I wouldn't mess up haha and they were so happy when they
were done! It was great! After they bore their testimonies. Bro. Rodolfo went
first. Haha way powerful strong testimony. Sister on the other hand just talked
about the missionaries ahah she was also way excited to talk on the mike. She
was like screeching and yelling and the speakers were going to explode I swear
haha! Man than Bro. Balosa didn't get to bear his testimony because the stake
president forgot about him! But it was a great baptism and I was really happy
that day! The next day on Sunday only Daniel Balosa showed up at first... We
were way sad, but that Sister Loyola showed up way late, saying they couldn't
find a babysitter so Bro. Loyola had to stay home. So understandable 2/3 confirmed!
Funny story about the baby. He is a miracle baby! He was born the morning of
their baptism, by the way it is the Loyola's daughters baby. She had her that
morning at like 1and we went at like 9 in the morning to check up on them. They
were way tired and told us about the baby. Well first off they live on a farm
and don't sleep in their house just out on dirt. So she had the baby on the
dirt... really suddenly. Secondly it was coming out backwards so it
should have probably died, but they said her daughter pushed it out way fast
and it lived! ... Dirt and backwards... not ideal for a baby! But it is healthy
boy! and they Named it after my trainer Elder Hibbert. haha new baby Hibbert!
So weird. Anyways That was a great day, we had some weird experiences too that
just shows me that God really is guiding people to us. First one was it was a
really hot hard day. We had been punted from like 8 appointments straight and
were aimlessly looking for people to teach or somewhere to go! It was hot and
we finally decided to go get something to drink. Right next to the shop where
we bought drinks some Less Active member came out and said Are you
Missionaries? We said yeah , do you know us? She was a member before, got into
some trouble, and now wants to comeback! We said, OF COURSE!! So we went and
taught her and she was really awesome. She wants to find God again and her
faith so we are helping her with that. Too bad she didn't come to Church
though... Anyways another cool experience was that Elder Hibbert and I were way
HOT!! we wanted ICE CREAM! So we went to the store to buy Ice Cream. After
looking around for a while, we decided we wanted Doughnuts instead! haha So we
walked over to the Doughnut store and the cashier lady was like, "What
church are you?" We obviously told her all about it and gave her a Book of
Mormon and a Pamphlet! It was awesome! We got her information and she said I
would love to meet and learn more! Too bad she is not in our mission but, we
got her information and now her hands are in the fate of someone else, but God
lead us to her! It all was about changing our appetites. Haha Awesome week
really! I know this Church is true and God is looking out for us! He has guided
me and I saw it so clearly this week! Anyways man so many things so little time!
Anyways The work is true and I can't wait for my fun times. This is the last
day of this transfer and I finally am done TRAINING!! My trainer was great...
Can't wait until tommorow when I meet my new one! Yeah life is good! haha
