- So this transfer flew! We had a lot of success and I will luckily get to stay here in Villa Vasquez and try to keep the work going. With that my comp will be leaving to the good old area of Santiago and I will be receiving a brand new missionary. So I don't know who yet but tomorrow when I show up at the office we will go in a room and the dude will come find me and that will be my comp. Kinda exciting. Hopefully my 8 1/2 months on a mission can teach this kid how to be a good missionary haha.
But other then that the work here is CRAZY! This email could get long. First things first our friend Ashley is gonna be baptized this coming Sat. Her step brother was baptized like a week ago and he helped us hype up baptism. Ashley came to church yesterday and kept asking me if she could see the pool she was gonna be baptized in lol. We are excited for her.
Before I get into our other goated investigators, I had the weirdest experience of my life yesterday. So there is this recent convert named Rafeal and we call him Raf. Well we visited him on Saturday and he was in bed in a diaper cause he was super sick. Then Sunday morning at church everyone was talking about how he passed away. So we were shocked then after church we went to his house with our Elders Quorum President and we shared a little message with his family and we sang 2 hymns and they turned out to be legit solos for me so that was lit. Then Raf’s casket was still in the house so I had the unique opportunity to see Raf’s body without his spirit. I didn't know how to word that but you know what I mean. So yeah yesterday was really weird.
But now for cool investigators. There is this chick we are teaching named Yulisa. She is about 30 something and I love her!! She is the coolest ever! She is reading in the Book of Mormon and she came to church yesterday. We had such a good word of wisdom lesson with her last week, like literally it was insane. She committed to stop drinking coffee before her baptism on May 6th. We went back to her house 2 days after the lesson and she was like dang my head hurts really bad and we were like dang we are sorry and she is like I haven't been drinking coffee and we were like let’s gooo! So she is progressing a lot and we are so happy for her.
Another girl we are teaching is named Yeudica. She is also goated. Last lesson we were about to share a scripture but I had the impression to just ask her what questions she had. We ended up teaching the word of wisdom and law of chastity and she was down to follow both. She said she is trying to quit coffee but can't so we are gonna bring a member who has experience to help us out. She also works at like a little bank thing that just sells lottery tickets so coming to church is so hard for her but she said she is gonna try everything in her power to come next Sunday.
Overall the work is poppin! I have truly seen the blessings from being obedient. Our teaching pool is overflowing and we have so many people with potential. I am sad to see my comp go he is a good dude but I am super excited to train a brand new missionary!
Love you all!!
