This week was another
rollercoaster of a week, but it is FINE because all ended up perfect and
also we went on another field-trip.
Last, what was it? Wednesday?
We went to visit our beloved Nancy, who is a young woman that we have
been teaching for about 6 weeks. She had already pushed back her baptism
date a week because she didn´t feel 100% prepared, but on Sunday
she said the 23rd was the day she wanted to be baptized. Perfect. We
will not push anyone into the waters of baptism. And she was right...
She hadn´t been taught everything she needed to know. So we changed the
date to the 23rd.
Anyroad, on Wednesday
we went to her house for a lesson and her dad was there. He kept saying
that it is her decision and he will support her, but he had a LOT of
questions about the church, and he was trying to get her to post-pone
her date again. I wanted to be like, "YO. Dad. Stop, please." The
awesome part was that Nancy was totally defending the Book of Mormon and
Joseph Smith and the Church.. everything. She was bearing her testimony
without even knowing what she was doing. But, in the end, she did ask
if we could postpone her baptism further. We decided to simply bear
testimony, and pray right there with her about her decision. She felt
she did not get an answer. We did not know what to do and I felt like
the worst missionary in the whole world. We ended with her saying that
she would still go to the interview we had scheduled for that night, and
she would make her decision then.
I do not know what happened in the interview. It was
the longest interview ever, and I was stressing out the whole time. But
she came out saying that she would be ready for Saturday. HALLELUJAH! It was a miracle. I was so so so so happy!
I still was a little stressed out until Saturday
when everyone arrived and all was set up and it was beautiful. Nancy
was gorgeous, and her mom came to support her... Something that we did
not think was going to happen. We had 2 adultas solteras speak on
baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. They were perfect. The spirit
was SO strong. Nancy just cried the whole time. She´s a little like me
that way. :) We also had all the young adults women sing "Conmigo
Quedate Señor", which is Nancy´s favorite hymn. It was beautiful. I just
really can´t get over how perfect the whole thing was. Ah.

Today we went on another field trip! To Yunkä! It
was AWESOME! I saw and ELEPHANT! and also manatees and tigres and
monkeys. But I think the most exotic creature they had on the reserve
was the white-tailed deer. That´s right. They have deer here as part of
the zoological landscape. Hilarious. All the Americans were like,
"Really? We have those in the backyard. Literally. They eat all our
plants."
I took pictures of all this.. but, wouldn´tcha know
it.. I can´t figure out how to work this computer. My memory card isn´t
showing up in the equipo section like it should. So.. Sorry.
I hope that all goes well on your trip! Temples are the best. Also,
Thank you for your prayers. We sure need them here in the mission
field.
I love you I love you i love you!
