Alright so this week was great! Wednesday we had one of the most
spiritual lessons I've had in the mission with Daren and Rosario.
Daren is way excited to be baptized but Rosario just didn't feel
prepared or I don't know so Wednesday our lesson was focused on
Rosario and inviting her to be baptized. We asked her if Jesus Christ
was here right now would he want her to be baptized and she said yes
and we each took a turn saying a prayer asking if she should be
baptized and the spirit was so strong! The sad part is that she still
denied being baptized on the same date as her son. She said she wants
to be baptized one day but she doesn't feel ready to make a covenant
with Christ... UGH! We'll keep on fight'n for it though! So we had the
baptismal date for Daren for the 12th but we changed it to the 19th
because everyone goes to Granada this Saturday to go to this start of
the school year thing and no one would be able to attend his baptism.
It's still going to happen though! Daren is almost finished with 1
Nephi so he's already doing better than I did when I was 12 haha.
Also Saturday we taught the word of wisdom and Rosario accepted it!
She says that everything but tea she will gladly drop. She loves to
drink tea but it seems like she'll stop drinking that as well.
This week the members fed us so good! Everyday we had an eating
appointment.??????. Emi returned from England and her and her daughter
Lina tried Chipotle for the first time and they freaked out because it
was so good. So Emi is going to try to and replicate it so that's
what I'll be doing this week?? also they bought me a keychain from
London so that's a good sign that they were thinking of the
missionaries when they were on vacation! Emi's other son Joseba who's
been in the United States all summer came back and it was great to
talk to him! He's cool but he needs a lot of work haha.
This Friday we had a missionary activity that basically the hermanas
planned out and it was a huge success!! We had a fiesta Hawaiiana and
it was super fun! We had 7 investigators come (the Columbians and a
few others) so it was great! I'll send pics. Then on Sunday the only
people who came to church was Emi, Daren, and Joseba so one day
hopefully we'll get the whole family to come.
Love you all! Today we're going to go hiking so I'm excited for that??
