So I just want to start straight off with a funny story. This week Elder Adamson and I were doing more contacts... and he`s tearing it up in contacts already! haha. He does them all by himself now :P So anyway, but it was his turn, and out of the door came an old lady with a knife in her hand because she was cutting onions... But so we were standing outside of a gate that she has, so we were a distance away. But so Elder Adamson started to talk to her, and to get her to ACTUALLY come out of the house he asked her if we could greet her (by shaking hands) and to do that, we say "¿Podemos saludarle?" Well... it was super funny because Elder Adamson struggled a little on the word "saludar" and instead asked her "¿Podemos saltarle?" which basically is translated to "Can we jump you?" As in literally attack and mug a person. hahahaha. So this ladies eyes got all big, and she got a little scared, and her grip on the knife got a little tighter and she kinda raised it up a little more to show she HAD a knife... haha. So i was like "oh shoot!" and started yelling "Saludar! Saludar! Queremos SALUDARle!" hahahah. So anyway... she shook our hands and we had a nice conversation, but we didnt share our message with her... hahaha. But so I explained to Elder Adamson after what he said and what happened hahaha. Its little stuff like that that always makes the day a little lighter haha. It was funny. But realy Elder Adamson has already progressed a ton! haha. Hes an awesome missionary.
But! Besides that story, I dont have too much to share from this week... but we did have 2 baptisms!!! Woo hoo!!! This week Patricia and her son Cristian got baptized!!! And it was a fight until the end! haha. Im still learning...
Super long story short, we were freaking out because (another long story...) we do baptisms here on sunday after church, and then the confirmations the NEXT sunday... So anyway, it was the day of their baptism, and Patricia and Cristian almost didnt show up for Sacrament meeting... Gah. But after a million phone calls, getting a taxi to pick them up, and stuff like that, they showed up in time to enjoy a small part of the sacrament meeting... But it was kind of embarrasing on our part... that our investigator was gonig to get baptized that day but wasnt even showing up for sacrament meeting... So we learned THAT lesson...
And the other hectic thing was that we had the baptismal clothing for patricia, and after sacrament meeting she went to go try it on... and it was way to small. And like nearly no one else had baptism clothes in the other wards. So we were frantically searching around EVERYWHERE to find baptism clothes that would fit her and everything.... and we finally found it. But ohhhh it was a hectic day... haha. But in the end it all turned out! But so yeah we learned that lesson with the baptismal clothing as well... Next time we will be searching it a lot sooning and bringing it to them so they can try it on a lot sooner... gahhh. BUT.... it all turned out. So i feel bad... but in the end im happy! :D
It was an awesome experience as i got to baptize patricia and elder Arancibia baptized cristian! It was also awesome to listen to Patricia after the baptisms get up and give her testimony of her experience and how much being baptized meant to her and stuff. She shared an awesome testimony!! So i was really happy for that and to finally participate in that ordinance once again! Now comes the challenge of finding more people to do the same! haha.
Other cool thing. On sunday in sacrament meeting I did a musical number with one of the jovenes of the ward and we played a duet of nearer my god to thee, me on piano, and him on the flute! It was awesome! I do believe the ward liked it lots! I think ill be donig more here. Because they only have an electric piano, but its actually like a good electric piano that sounds good haha. So i want to do more. Yayyyy.
Well.... I cant think of too much more to share in this moment :/ Were just chuggin along here. Were having trouble finding good people to teach... So thats the challenge for the next while. We gotta kick it in gear! haha. I love you all and miss you lots! I hope all is well. Keep it real people. The church is true and the true gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. I learned a few new interesting things about that this week... Random side note haha. I love studying and learning. Its the best. Anyway I love you all! I gotta go now... Pictures will be coming soon I promise :( haha. Im sorry. I will repent and get pictures sent out! Que esten bien a todos. Chauuu!!
