Ok so here is what happened this
week
We had a baptism this
week. His name is Moises, he is 9 and his family has been inactive for some time.
We have been teaching him the lessons because he wants to be baptized, but since
he wasn't baptized at the age of 8, he is considered an investigator. We have
also been reactivating his family while we have been doing this. It's been a
wonderful experience with them. He is a great kid, well I guess I should say when
he listens and pays attention. Haha He got the opportunity to have his dad
baptize him which was awesome to see! The family is now active in the church
and it's because he had a desire to be baptized. What a great day for us as missionaries
to be able to witness a whole family coming back into the gospel. This week I
played the hymns before and after Sacrament and it was alright for my first
week of playing hymns I never played before in my life. Then next week or the
week after, I will start playing during Sacrament Meeting. Crazy! I still feel
like I need more time and some of the songs are simplified which is so much
easier. We also have a new investigator who accepted baptism. She loves what we
are teaching and she prayed to God to know if the church is true and she said
she felt peace and comfort with it. Sadly, she isn't married. She has a
boyfriend she is living with and they are getting married in June so we can't baptize
her until after. As long as she is progressing in the gospel, and has made the
decision to try and live it then it probably doesn't matter the exact time she
gets baptized. It just keeps getting busier and busier, so much that I'm losing
track of time. I'm forgetting a lot of English because I haven't spoken any of
it for weeks and a lot of things from Idaho. It's like I'm a different person
in a strange place with different challenges, trials, food, people, language,
and just about everything. Anyways, I’m doing good, take care :) Love ya hope
everyone is doing well.
