This week was super special. To start off, we just visited with our familias de oro every day. Consecutive visits seem to help gain confidence with the investigators. We went contacting a few times, but not much success in that this week. We need to contact more because we need new people to teach.
The big news of this week is that we had a baptismal service on Saturday, the 17th of October. On Friday night, we went to the chapel and put together the pila bautismal (baptismal font). The font here in the chapel is made of blocks and a big piece of plastic that looks like a backyard swimming pool. We pieced that together and filled it up with water with a hose. The water here is cold. Pueblo Nuevo is a little bit higher on the mountain so the climate is a bit cooler. We originally planned to baptize with our zone in San Felipe as a mega baptism, but our investigators made the request to do it in the morning here in Pueblo Nuevo.
I had the opportunity to perform the ordinance for the mother and her daughter. The father didnt end up getting baptized on Saturday, but we are going to work extra hard with him this week. The important thing is that two souls have opened the gate to heaven. I cant even begin to explain how much joy I felt during the ordinance. The water was pretty cold but it didnt bother me. Im just super greatful that Heavenly Father blessed me with the opportunity to have my first baptisms, and also, two baptisms in Pueblo Nuevo.
Today for P Day we got together as a zone and had a color fight. I attached a picture of me with Elder Petersen from Delta and Elder Sherwood from Nephi.
Anyway, that was my week. Lots of miracles and blessings being received. Thank you all so much for praying for us. I have a testimony that praying and fasting bring us so many blessings. Ive witnessed plenty of miracles here and its because of the faith of all of you that pray for us every day.
