So this week was very interesting to say the least like let’s
just say everything went wrong that could have gone wrong. (this always happens
the week before baptisms)
Me and Miranda - she is the member that gave me mac and cheese for 4th! |
This week . . . Jorge got baptized!!! Before he got baptized
on Friday he called us and told us he couldn’t get baptized.We were like what!
So we rushed over there as soon as we heard (this was 30 min before his
baptismal interview) and we went to see what was wrong. He told us that his mom had called all sad
that he was getting baptized while she was in Europe and that if he got baptized
she would never forgive him.... We were like oh no, if he waits 6 weeks Satan
is bound to get to him cause lets just say this week was he-double hockey
sticks for everyone and I can’t imagine what would have happened in 6 weeks
more.... We finally talked to him and by the end he was like I know I am
supposed to get baptized Sunday so all was well. We had another baptism planned
for Sunday too but it fell through Friday for certain reasons. It was so sad
and when Jorge called saying he couldn’t get baptized either we practically
almost died, but in the end Jorge got baptized and it was the best ever!

but he said that a force stopped him and he wasn’t hurt. He said that now he knows that that was the Lord and that the Lord knew that he had a greater things yet to do in this life. It was so neat because his life has really changed so very much. He really wants to do what is right and he is such a funny jolly guy. It has been so fun to teach him and become his friend. All and all I am really grateful this week is over! It was one crazy week full of lots of not fun stuff but I have a feeling that next week will be better. In reality we had lots of really great times this week interspersed with all the bad. Lesson learned this week - so no matter how bad things get just look for and create good moments where you can smile and laugh. Some of the things that really made my day this week were the people here they really are just some good people and i learn from them every day. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to be in El Golf and meet all these people that have become my dear friends.
I really love my comp we really get along ahaha we enjoy
singing titanic at the top of our lungs, singing off tune together and just
having each other during all the crazy stuff that happens and it was so fun to
have her as my comp during my first baptism.
I am really going to miss her if we ever get changed she is really funny
and she has a powerful testimony and let’s just say I know I’ll always have a
friend in Honduras!
All and all I am loving life. I hope ya’ll are loving life too! Keep smiling
and know that things happen for a reason and that God loves you and is aware of
all that is happening in your life!
Love ya’ll
