This past week was good for me; a whole lot seemed to have happened. I’ll start with the best, we had a baptism! Finally we baptized Hermano Jesus! Me and my companion like to joke saying we baptized Jesus again but really we are happy we had the privilege to teach him. He was the hardest person I’ve ever taught, his mind isn’t all there so it was tough but after we dropped him like 3 times then started teaching him again things got better and he was baptized and confirmed Sunday. After his baptism he shared his testimony and wow that was powerful. It was cool to see the thing she had a problem with before, the things that wouldn’t allow him to be baptized earlier, he had a firm testimony of now.

On Saturday we had the opportunity to attend a dedication of a new church building here in our zone that as well was really cool. Our mission president came out and dedicated it and the prayer was beautiful! He read it all, which was a little weird but it was good. Before the dedication he gave a talk and he had someone play primary songs on the piano while he was talking, that was really odd actually. I got a kick out of it; it seems like something that would come from the Office.

Last night we stopped by an investigators place to talk to him and we had an interesting experience. He owns a pizza shop and he gave us free pizza and a soda, that was cool, then he showed us his house. After he told us that he doesn’t like his church and doesn’t really go so that was a great opportunity for us to talk to him more about our church. Right as we were about to leave he said hey I have this friend that is from Canada and lived in the States forever do you want to go meet him? Oh by the way this investigator lived in the states for about 15 years so we were speaking English. But we went to this Canadian guy’s house and it was huge! It is the nicest house I’ve been in here and it made me miss home! His wife is from here that’s why they live here but she offered us Iced Tea and we had to explain to them the Word of Wisdom and how we couldn’t drink things like that. It really makes me realize we can talk about the church and the things we know all the time if we are listening and in tune with the spirit and want to share the gospel!
