So this week is changes and I am 100% sure that I am finally leaving La Serena because this morning one of the
assistants called and informed us that our sector was going to close. So
now instead of 4 missionaries here there are going to be 2. (if one of us ends up staying it would be Elder Hidalgo because this is
his last change in the mission. He's been here for 2 changes and I have
been here for 4. The other companionship has been here for 2 and 1
changes so it's extremely unlikey that I'd stay, especially after how the
assistant phrased what he told us.) Therefore
we get to deep clean our pensión today...yay. This is the 3rd pday in a
row when we haven't been able to do anything that we've wanted/needed to
do.
So for the zone activity we went bowling again AND we
got to go to the historic Lighthouse of La Serena.....which means we got
to go to the beach!!! Apparently the ZLs had to pull a lot of strings
in order to get permission to go there but they did it! That was awesome
and now I have pics of me and the ocean in Chile! I'll send some....
As
for the baptisms, after having the whole world working against us and a
ton of crazy things happen, J. and I. got baptized!!! That was awesome!
We weren't going to be able to finish all of the lessons on time because Elder H* is sick and the mission nurse commanded us to return home
early at night. Well, we ignored that command and finished their lessons
Saturday night - talk about cutting it close. But it's all good now
because they got baptized!!! That has to be the best part of the mission
- watching/helping people make that sacred covenant with the Lord.
There is literally nothing like it.
Well, due to the fact that we have to deep clean the pension, I'm out of time. Next week I'll be writing from a different area!!
Love
you all. Please be careful when walking outside while it's raining cats
and dogs. I don't think it would be too fun having one of them fall on
your head with their claws, teeth, and all that fun stuff.....
Elder Groneman
