Week 28 2/11 Baptisms de Esther y Ariandna

Saturday we had 2 the baptisms of Esther and her daughter Ariandna! She had been receiving the lessons from the missionaries for over 2 years now. Its super funny cause I came here and the first day I saw here registry and wanted to visit her. Elder Gonzalez told me that she never progressed, she would always accept an appointment to teach her but was never there during the appointment. I also heard a ton of other things about her but I still wanted to go. My first night we went and knocked her door and she was there. We entered and just listened to the spirit and her! After teaching about obedience and the amor for God and doing a preinterview she accepted a baptismal date. It was honestly one of the most spiritual lessons I had ever participated in. From there on she read, prayed, and attended church until her baptism this Saturday.

I learned something really important from this experience from her, that all it takes is one super spiritual lesson and anyone will do anything to feel it again. The feelings of the spirit are the most precious of all feelings. As missionaries thats our goal is to create a spiritual environment where the spirit and open the hearts and testify of the truthfulness of our words. 

Today we had to do emergency transfers. They split our sector this week so Elder Gonzalez and I had to move rooms. We packed all our stuff Sunday night and moved today in the morning and unpacked. It's a good change cause we are like 10000 times closer to our investigators and the chapel. 

After all this we went and played soccer as a zone... again. We play almost every week because there aren't Hermanas in our zone cause it's too dangerous for them. When there are Hermanas we have to play volleyball or something they can play with the Elders. 

Luis had his interview this last week... but didn't pass😑. Theres no surprise there cause no one here in this zone passes their first interview haha. He will have his second interview this week and then his baptism this Saturday!

Thanks for all the love and Support! Also shout out to all my friends that are still writing me! You officially made it further than half of my family haha!

Love You All!
