So I'll
start out with the bigger news. We had 3 baptisms this week! Our zone had 12
all together on the same day! Now the sad news… We only had 2 confirmations as
one of our newly baptized decided to smoke right after his baptism... WHOOPS! Sister Victoria was finally baptized and
confirmed! She had been worked on since June! I know her very well and am glad
that she is now a member. She was crying at her baptism saying "I will
finally be saved!" I know this to be true that baptism into the Church of
Jesus Christ is the pathway to salvation!
(Our baptisms this week.)
I went on splits 3
times... TBH I like to see other missionaries but if I am not in my own area I
am missing out on a lot. Three times on one week is a lot cuz a lot happens in
1 week!
So Ernesto still isn’t
doing well. To be honest, he has most likely given up on life now. He isn’t
moving and is stuck in a stupor of thought. I have been told that he has
stopped eating as well. It truly hurts my heart to see these things happen, but
I know that once I've done all that I can it is in the Lords hands now.
I’ve got a new little
friend. Her name is Metheane and she is 8 years old. I don’t know if she likes
me cuz I'm nice or an American. Either way, she is my new little buddy! I have
learned in these past 6 months that I am really good with little kids. I
suppose it is because I give them attention when no one else does.
We went to a rich person’s
house for a birthday dinner. They had a Lenchon Baboy (rotisserie pig). This
thing looked so disgusting! It was all shredded up in the end and was a big
mess of carcass! These things cost 10000 pesos gihapon! I get 2000 to live off
of for a week (about $50.) This thing, for one meal, cost as much as I get in a
month and a half to live off of, pay bills, etc! It wasn’t the best tasting
thing ever... nevertheless I m still a happy camper!
I will most likely be transferred
out of Toboso next Tuesday (few days before my Christmas party:( ). I am trying
my best here and I love it!
Everything is going
great and I wish the best for you all back at home or on missions!
(Here’s another picture
of where I currently live. This was before
the new haircut. I got a hair cut that is a military style. I’m practically
bald! FREAK! And I didn’t mean for it to
be short like that. By the way, I don’t
have any pics of it like that.)
