This week was CRAZY.... lemme tell ya... like ridiculous. sooo much
stuff going on. I'm so tired.... but whateverrrr...
Since Costa Rica won. again, which EVERYONE is suprised...
still... the streets were filled with people, but the houses
weren't.... it was an awful Friday.... but we decided to help the other
sisters out with their baptism, and we went to the church to fill the
font... it filled for like 3 minutes, and then we realized that there
was no water when we couldn't hear it anymore. Everybody was freakin
out... we had to run to the firestation to see if they could fill it.
They said no. haha they did a baptism in like 6 inches of water.. jk I
really don't know how they did it, but they did it. it was so
stressful... every baptism is stressful..
Especially when your investigator comes to his baptism doubting and
doesn't have a good attitude.. but hey at least Roger came, and was
baptized with his son. It was honestly the MOST spiritual experience
I've had.. well one of them... ok this whole year and a half has been
filled with spiritual experiences. but in his baptism, the kids in his
family sang the baptism song, and everybody was crying. And his face,
when he came out of the water, was honestly priceless. you could SEE
the change that just happened. and then his wife bore her testimony,
and didn't stop crying and saying that this is one of the biggest
blessings she's recieved in her life... IT WAS AMAZING. then we went to
their house for dinner and cake for the kids birthday. It was great.

Ok, so we had branch night, like a family home evening but with the
branch, we have been having success with this, anyways. Since EVERYONE
in the branch now knows that I'm afraid of clowns, they decided to
scare me big time...  after everything ended in the chapel, my comp
had to go to the bathroom, so I was waiting for her, and said, hey I'll
wait for you outside of the door, but it was dark in the hall so I
decided not to...  we left together with the phone light, which
didn't work, but once we left, our mission leader screamed at us down
the hall and started chasing us... my comp was the first to go, hahaha
she ran screamminggggg so obviously I was scared to and ran after her,
and she stopped in the middle of the doorway and I kept running, so we
both tripped, and I tripped until I got out the door, and fell real
hard. Hahaha my knee is still bruised. hahah honestly. it was
HILARIOUSSSSSSSSS. I don't get embarrassed...

This week we recieved a reference that lives pretty far away, which
is funny, the elders only give them to us if they live far away...
anyways, we went and visited them. They are SO ready. They were
listening to the missionaries in their moms house one day and they
were like, we need to find them in our town. They accepted to be
baptized, like that. They payed attention really well and they even
knew how to sing hymns. they are GOLDENNN.

Just thought I'd let ya know that I'm reading the story of JOB for
the first time. ever... I don't have it hard AT ALL. read it. and if
you have, do it again.

Also, I studied the priesthood session of conference, finally we got
the magazines!! ITS AMAZING. I always thank God that he made me a girl
and not a guy with the priesthood. :) thank you men for your service.
