Hey, everyone! It's been a super crazy week. Had transfers on Wednesday, so the days before were just my comp saying bye to members. But as soon as I got my new comp here, we've been working like crazy. Both Friday and Saturday, we had six appointments planned for each day and were running all over to get to each one. My comp has been meeting the members, and we get along super good.
On Saturday, we taught Lesson One to a woman who lives out in an Aldea, and once we finished, she wanted to know more about baptism and how it's performed correctly. After we explained it, I invited her to be baptized once she receives a confirmation that these things are true, and she said she would! We are hoping that there's nothing that's keeping her from being baptized because she may not be married and has four kids... but we will see what we can do.
Stake Conference was yesterday as well and there were over 400 people at least that were there. It was a super cool scene to see all of the members showing their faith at the church.
Our last appointment of the day last night, we went to an inactive's house and I was able to give her a blessing. I love giving blessings and the comfort and guidance I can give to other people through the priesthood. Afterwards she said how much she knows and believes that priesthood blessings work and how thankful she was for one. She said the missionaries hadn't visited her in about a year and she was really needing it. So thankful to be able to be here and to help others in similar situations.
Missing you guys a lot, send me an email if you can!
