BEST WEEK EVER!! This week was filled with so many miracles, spiritual lessons, new investigators and we topped it off with Malen’s Baptism!!
The baptism went perfectly! Me and my comp went to the church in the morning to clean the font and the church and set up all the chairs and everything so that was fun. The baptism started at 5:30 and like 40 or 50 people showed up! (which is crazy for Argentina) I had the opportunity to be the one to baptize Malen! She was really nervous and was shaking as she was holding my arm in the font. But right as she went in the water and came back up she stopped shaking and had the biggest smile on her face. It was so awesome to see the pure joy she felt the whole rest of the night and the next day when she was confirmed.
About 10 minutes after the baptism I started to have this super bad stomach ache. So we stayed a little longer for the refreshments (and like 5 trips to the bathroom). I had really bad food poisoning and I was throwing up the rest of the night… literally the whole night haha. It sucked! I felt 100 percent fine and healthy the whole day until right after the baptism. So it was a miracle i was still able to do it! On Sunday i really didn't want to go to church because i was super dizzy and had a migraine and could barely move but we had the confirmation to do and i had to give a talk. So we called a member to drive us to church. I had the talk all written out and so my comp offered to just go up there and read it for me. So I was super grateful for that. Everything went good so we left after sacrament and I slept the rest of the day. I feel good now!!
Luciano and Romina are doing really good! They have been praying every morning and night and we gave them a list of our favorite scriptures to read one a day (a least) before their nightly prayers. Romina is doing awesome but Luciano is still having trouble and questioning why God took their little baby away. He’s really praying to see if God is there and listening.
We also had our Conference with President and interviews. President has been focusing a lot more lately on our personal conversion as missionaries and a lot less on the numbers and baptisms. I love it. Personal conversion is the most important thing for all of us. Once we are truly converted, everything else will fall into place. I hope everyone can do what they need to truly be converted! It's a constant battle!
Love you all!! Have a great memorial day and week!
