J** and F** got baptized!!!! It was
the most uneventful, calm, normal baptism I've had my whole mission.
NOTHING WENT WRONG! It was a weird but nice change. The font worked
perfectly, the kids and family arrived on time, the mission leader
actually put together the program, no one forget anything, we didn't have
to run anywhere, and the font drained fine as well. Wow, so that's how
it should all work....weird....
We should also have another baptism on the 29th with the kid whose parents are less active. We started teaching him and if all goes as planned - which it rarely does - he should be baptized on the 29th. Then we are going to work on the older sister. Then hopefully the parents will actually be willing to get up early on Sundays to go to church because nothing else seems to have motivated them yet.
Update on E** - his dad is now avoiding us and we have no idea why. Almost 2 weeks ago now he told us that he wants to baptize E** and that we were going to work together to get it done. Well, ever since then he has been avoiding us. Ya, we are a bit confused with the whole situation. Lots of prayers are needed....
Oh, as for the title of the email - Bautización (Baptization for all you English speakers). J**, for some reason didn't realize for the longest time that you could just call it a baptism. Instead he would say things like "At what time is the baptization?" Haha he's great.
The random tip of the week is more serious this time - DON'T WALK THROUGH TEAR GAS!!! It is not a pleasant experience just in case you were wondering....
So ya, Love you all! Enjoy the photo of the baptism :)
