So first is first.
Eduardo DID NOT get baptized. Hardest thing I have passed on my mission
yet!! Everything was good, we picked out his clothes Monday, tried them on,
practiced with him, we picked who wanted to do what for the program and the
font was even halfway full until I got a call at 4 o clock on Wednesday, 3
hours before his baptism. He says that he talked to his friend and his friend just
told him, if you are going to do it, do it good. And then he said he felt something
tell him no. And I tried telling him that it doesn’t matter what anyone says, God
has given him his answer plenty of times and has worked so many miracles to
clear his path towards baptism and that he can’t deny it. And what God says
goes, and we need to do what he says with faith and confidence in him. I
was a little fuerte, but in a loving way because he knows this is true, he just
got scared and I have no idea why!! He was so good!!! And so ready and had made
up his mind and everything!! But such is life, he says he wants to wait on
everything, but we all know how waiting goes. So we will be still, but it sure
was a tough pill to swallow.
Then we went to Barc
to pick up my comps residency card, and that took forever!! Like 3 days because
we are so far away so the week wasn’t that good. But we just will hit it
hard this week and enjoy Thanksgiving in a box from my good mother!!!
My
miracle experience came from church on Sunday. It was the primary program. And
the spirit they brought was incredible. The songs they sang and little parts
they had memorized was such a sweet experience. The spirit was so strong in
that meeting from these 9 little kids that were up there. All of the parents
were crying and everyone else could so feel the spirit. It was just such a
miracle to me that these kids are so pure and can bring the spirit just as well
if not better than everyone else!!! We did sing ALL 9 verses of follow the
prophet as a rest hymn...it is still stuck in my head...they sang it just to
kill time ha ha.
Well happy turkey day
folks, I will be spending it eating with my companion in our freezing piso ha ha
love you all!!
