This past week we have been working super hard! Last week we put a goal that we were going to contact and extend 100 invitations to church in the whole week and we surpassed our goal! I can be hard at times to talk with everyone because its easy to get distracted or tired, but my companion is very good at opening his mouth and speaking with everyone. I'm definitely a little more introverted. He is definitely a good companion for me. Right now we have been trying to get to know some new places. We went to a village called Las Barrancas last week where we found some people who had never seen, or heard of missionaries before. It's kind of fun going to places where the missionaries have never worked. This week we are going to visit a village called Santa Irene. The missionaries have worked there before, but not a lot. Hopefully we find another golden family!
On Saturday, we visited Mari and her family. They were very excited to recieve us. Our District Leader, Elder Preciado, came with us to do the baptismal interviews and now everything is ready for this Saturday. The family is very excited to take this step. As of now, the four who are going to be baptized are Mari, and her three kids, Robin, Karina, and Cristian. Mari's husband doesn't really want anything to do with us for the moment, but we know that his time will come.
The members of the Chamac ward are especially excited for this baptism. It will be the first baptism of the year, which is a great way to start. Before the baptism of Julio in December, the ward hadn't seen a convert baptism in almost 2 years (apart from a 9 year old who is the son of a member that used to be inactive). I remember hearing in Julio's baptism, a sister saying, ''This is so special. This never happens here.'' It honestly was kind of sad to hear that, but I know that the Lord has blessed us with miracles because of faith. Your prayers are what brought this miracle to these people.
Elder Cook, Elder Taylor, Robin, Karina, Cristian, and Mari
That's all I have for now. I hope you all have a blessed week!
Jesús te ama.
Elder Taylor
