Hey fam!
All is good here in Camino Carrasco! We had lots of success, after a really hard week. Lots of miracles.
Analìa is getting baptized! We had a charla with her last night and she told us she had decided to get baptized. She decided on the 10th of July (next saturday!!!) so we are super excited. We took her to a baptism on saturday (a combined baptism of two wards, it was awesome) and she seemed to like it, but didn't like the mirror above the water and said that for a variety of reasons she just wanted to think about the baptism. We were introducing her to EVERYONE saying that she was getting baptized on the 10th, but she was always like "ummm... i don't know..." it was pretty awkward. Sunday she came to church, but seemed to just be there, not really participating too much. I taught a KILLER gospel principles class about Christ (Lesson 3?) and it was really good. Our recent convert Daniela (who has been helping out A TON with Analìa) was crying and everything. But she didn't make up her mind about baptism or anything. So last night we take her to Daniela's house for a charla and she says she wants to get baptized next week! We are super excited. We could tell that she really received an answer and that she realized the necessity of the church. It was a really spiritual charla and are really excited for
There's an investigator Veronica that disappeared from the face of the earth - mom said she was in maldonado and that she doesn't have a cell phone. Well turns out she wasn't in maldonado, the mom said she's been home the whole time and that she relapsed into drugs. So we went this morning to her house to wake her up and chat with her (so we knew she'd be home) and we actually had a really weird charla. Turns out she wasn't in Maldonado, but she isn't doing drugs. And she does have a cell phone, she's been wanting to call us but her mom wouldn't give her the phone number. She hasn't been going to church because her mom locks her in the house so she can't leave and says that we just want to baptize her in our cult. So Veronica is getting ready to move out of the house today because she can't put up with it anymore. I don't blame her. But she is going out to the street and doesn't know where she's going. And she's leaving her 6 year old kid with her mom while she looks for a place to live and work and stuff. So we told her to just hold on while we help her find a place to live and work and take it easy. It's a super complicated situation and we're really frustrated with the mom. We'll see what happens with her.
All in all a week full of miracles and the hand of the Lord. We were super excited for everything that happened and hope to see more miracles as we continue putting in our part.
I hope you all are OK. Still haven't heard anything about Corry. And any news on that package I've been waiting for since January? And Dad, you need to email the mission to get stuff figured out because they are about to start the process of getting me home. (Oh yeah, 18 months down!) You should have the email addy already.
