another fast week. it honestly feels like p day was 2 days ago! this transfer is halfway over!!! and this week changed a lotta stuff!


we had planned to have a baptism every Saturday this transfer... but it ain't happening. it was a hard week. a lot of our investigators canceled the lessons or just weren't home when we got there and our family we have that were supposed to be baptized this Saturday wouldn't do their paper work to get married first and then they didn't even end up going to church yesterday. it got pretty frustrating.. and tiring. I'm still tired haha


but something cool happened while i was on exchanges with Elder Dahlstrom (hes new and doesn't speak Spanish). we went to a meeting with the ward mission leader and after one of the new converts in the ward introduced us to a friend and we committed him to get baptized on the 21st of this month. hes an AWESOME guy. yesterday was the coolest part of it though. it was the first time in his life he'd ever put on a tie or gone to church. and after about 4 or 5 testimonies he went up to the pulpit and bore his testimony!!!! he told the congregation about some trials he has had and at first it was weird, but then he told about how he had started reading the book of mormon and prayed about it and he started crying. then he held the book in the air and said "its true its all true. this is His church. and you guys are my new family". IT WAS SO POWERFUL! one of the coolest experiences i have had so far. made the week feel like it wasn't a big fail :) haha
