Dear Everyone,
I guess I should have given you more details about Chriso's baptism. We were really stressed about it all week as we prepared everything. Then to top it off, we found out that the Metro line 13, which everyone takes to get to the church, was going to be closed that weekend. We scrambled around trying to find someone to give Chriso a ride to the church.
Luckily, it was a rumor and everyone got there on time. I gave a talk on baptism and then the ordinance was performed. Elder Maxwell, who did it, was already nervous because during the last baptism he performed the investigator, who was a kick boxer, kicked him in the head when he went under. Well, Chriso also panicked a little bit and started breathing when he was still under water. Now whenever he sees Elder Maxwell he like to joke "you left me under water man!” It's so funny!
We taught Gina twice last week and even set up a time to help her organize her son's stuff later this week. We're supposed to do a service every week, but it's hard to find opportunities. And we get to wear street clothes for a few hours!
Valentine is a woman who has come to church twice after she we helped her carry her groceries onto the bus a few weeks ago. However, we found it difficult to make an appointment with her. Well we taught her twice this weekend and she told us that she feels a peace that she's been looking for for a long time at church. She says she likes that we are "serious". And.....we set a baptism date with her!!! For the 14 of September. She asked us before we could ask her!
Zone Conference was this week as well as interviews with President. It's weird to think it might be my last interview before I go home.
We met some super nice American Jehovah's Witnesses this week and had a good talk with them. One of them knew nothing about our beliefs and wanted to know more so I gave her a brochure. It was a cool experience.
