Challenges

What is up everyone?!? This week was a real fast week on my end which was nice but lots of little challenges in between the week. But overall still a fun week. 

So first things first our friend Yulisa. I am gonna back track to my first transfer when I was with my boy Elder Fuhriman back in Santiago. We were teaching a girl named Angelica and her parents told her she could not get baptized. I remember how devastated Elder Fuhriman was and I was kinda like whatever cause I didn't speak much Spanish at all neither did I understand it. Well the same thing kinda happened with Yulisa and I am pretty devastated.  Yulisa has done so much in her life to be worthy and ready for baptism. Her date is for this Saturday and she has stopped drinking alcohol and coffee. Well yesterday we were waiting for her to come to church and then she texted us and said that her Husband is Jealous and Angry and doesn't want her to go to Church. So now we are gonna have to move her baptismal date and we are gonna keep working hard to get her baptized  cause she truly has a testimony but now we have a challenge with her husband. 

Other than Yulisa we have 3 little friends named Maripili, Ashley, and Jaylin who are all gonna be baptized on the 13th of May. So pray that they can keep strong these next 2 weeks to be ready for baptism. 

I was reading about the 2,000 stripling warriors yesterday and I love that story so much. 2,000 boys that went to war who had never fought in their lives and not 1 of them died in battle. It is truly an amazing story and makes me think of the mission. These warriors had so much faith in God it was easy for them to risk their lives. I am trying to grow my faith in God and realizing that even though I am not being asked to go to battle I am being asked to give up everything I love for 2 years. I truly love the mission and all I have learned even if it is the hardest thing I have done at times 

Love you all! Have a good week!
