Week 77 - Baptism By Fire

Hey everyone once again!  I hope you all had a good week full of good things and meaningfull things!  This past week was a little different but pretty good!  So like I said, yesterday there were no church meetings due to elections which was the weridest part of the week.  And what I have been hearing is that a couple of people tied so they are going to have to vote again!  Hopefully not on a Sunday.

 

This past week we have been teaching someone called Edith.  And for the longest time we have thought that she was a member.  She always told us how she was baptized and all that but this past week she told us that she doesn´t feel like a member.  We asked her why she felt that way and she told us that she was never confirmed a member!!  So that was really interesting.  She recieved baptism by water but she never recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost.  So we are now working with her to get to that point of baptism once again.

 

We are also working with a member´s sister who is an investigator.  She has a lot of questions and doubts but recently she went to the temple with her sister in Bolivia and she attended General Conference.  Those two things helped her out a ton with a lot of her doubts and questions, but hopefully we can help out on the rest.

 

The other Elders in my district are going to have a baptism this coming Saturday which is awesome.  I was able to interview her and it was a cool experience.  President Harbertson has talked about how we need to do baptismal interviews better so I put those things into practice and it was really cool.  She is ready for baptism.

 

That´s about all that went on this week.  We are trying to put ourselves in contact with some people that we have lost contact with and we are also trying to contact more people in the streets.  Everything is good and cold now here in Puno!  I just pray that it doesn´t rain!  Thanks for all the support and love as always!  I love you all!
