Manuel de Jesus is getting baptized this Saturday!!! Seriously so stoked!! He is the one I wrote about the other week who I accidentally called and ended up inviting to church and he came and we started teaching. That was my 3rd day here and now 5 weeks later he is getting baptized! He was/is so prepared. I am honestly so happy for him and for Elder Murray and I because we are seeing so many blessings as we just work hard and are diligent and obedient. I love it.
I
love the people of this ward so much. This Sunday we had so many people
come to church and the members are always really good at finding who is
new and making them feel comfortable. We ended up having to open the
back curtains because there were no more seats left in the main Sacrament room which is already way big. This church building is one of
the biggest buildings in the mission and I think the country. I also
have a huge love for the young men of this ward. They are awesome and
always help us and leave with us. I can't wait to work in the Young Men's
program one day.
This week
we also had a super cool service. We basically destroyed a house that
was a house of wood just deteriorated by termites. It was pretty sad
because we could literally knock down a whole part of the wall just with a
hammer or kicking it down. And there were people living in it the day
before. So once we took it all down, we began the process of re-building
it. Super cool, and fun. And I am way excited for the member who will
soon have a new house!
Saturday in the night, we were way far away from our house and it just started
to pour! We ran to our last lesson and they let us leave our bags with
our scriptures there so they wouldn't get ruined. Then we booked it back
to our house. Within 5 seconds we were soaked. When it rains here, the
roads turn into rivers. Not joking. So we were walking on the side of
the road and I looked back and all the sudden this car starts driving
super fast (probably so it could soak us -_-) I booked it to the left
and my comp just got destroyed by a huge wave of nasty water from the
road hahaha. We were laughing so hard. Then we had to cross the
river(road) and it was really like crossing a road after a bad storm or
something. It was pretty crazy. When we finally got home, our house was
completely flooded cause apparently every time it rains, the house
floods. Haha so we had to sweep and mop it all out. #RepDomProblems
Alright well that's all for this week cause I am out of time, but things are going so great here! Love you all!!
