Baptism!

September 24, 2018

Well this week turned out to be pretty good:

1. So this last Tuesday we did another Open area activity where we were assigned to be with a missionary and go to an area which is neither of your areas. So I went with Elder Mabalot (don`t have a picture yet. Sorry) But he is from the Phillipines and we went to an area where there are usually Hermanas. We were there for about 3 hours and we found a ton of people for the sisters to work with. I am going to get a update later about how all of them were. 

2. Yesterday we had an activity with all of the converts here in Vitarte. Pretty much the stake presidency talked about the adaption that the converts are going though in their new life as members of the church. At first when my companion and I showed up there was only about like 25-30 people there. But as the time went by more and more people came in and by the time we were ending I looked around and we had pretty much a ward from them. 

Well this week we had the blessing of having two baptisms (My companion`s first baptisms!) and their names are Rossita and Victor. About 6 or 7 months ago Rossita got like super sick and I think it got to the point that she almost died. But she eventually recovered and started to serve God. She started to go to many different churches trying to find the right one. She used to be an alcoholic and she eventually dropped that habit. Then after about 4 or 5 months of doing that we came into the picture and started to help her with everything else and last week her an her son got baptized and are now members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 

love ya,
Baptisms!
