April 18, 2011

This week was good. our investigators right now are kind of funny. We have this one lady named Juanita Campos who was a pastor for the Evangelical church, which is like the same as a Baptist Pastor. Her son just got the priesthood a week ago, and is going to baptize his mom this weekend, which should be really awesome. Her son is awesome he was baptized like 3 months ago but he completely changed when he started to meet with the missionaries. That is what drew her interest in our church, and started going and now is going to get baptized. She still gets a lot of pressure from her church, for example they will tell her that she cant leave they need her and stuff like that, but we are just going to keep visiting her and make sure that she is ready to go this week. she is very evangelical though which is really funny. She will say really loudly AMEN like a million times in sacrament meeting. But she is getting a lot better. Evangelicals when someone prays they pray to, but its really weird they will be mumbling to themselves really loud while your trying to pray. she used to do that all the time but now doesnt so she is getting a lot better. its really funny too because she went to the investigators class and kept answering all the questions it was really funny, she would always quote some scripture in Psalms or Isaiah. She is really cool, and signed up in relief society to feed us on Friday so she is awesome. we have this other person named Christian Saez. He is like 44, his wife and daughter got baptized like a month ago. He is a nice guy, but he hates my companion. last night he told me that i can come to his house if i come with someone else but if i come with my companion he wont accept us. my companion is a nice guy but they always argue and he just does dumb stuff sometimes, so this is going to be really hard because we are going to have to find members to come with us so we can do intercambios. so i will let you know how it goes, but hopefully we will have 3 people this week, if everything works out, but the week of the baptism is always the hardest for the investigators so we will just have to keep working hard and visiting them. so thats a little about the people we are teaching they are all really cool, and have their own personalities. Lota is awesome it is a really good place, i love it alot. Well thanks for everything love you all.
