On Saturday we had the baptism of Oriana! It was a big Holiday here in Argentina (May 25th) so there wasn't as many members that showed up as we would have hoped. But there were about 20 people there in total of a branch of like 45 so not too bad! I had the chance to be the one to baptize her! She was super happy to be baptized and she was confirmed the next day. She loves reading the Book of Mormon and saying prayers and it makes her so happy. Her older Brother Facundo that got baptized a few months back also received the Aaronic priesthood this week! So it was a super big day for them both! Now we are trying to work with with the rest of the family!
I also went to San Antonio Oeste again to do a baptism interview over there. It's always fun going there because they have the beach and a super good place to eat. My companion lost his ID so he couldn't travel with me so I went with Elder Luque. I did another baptism interview in the other area in Viedma as well. Baptismal interviews are some of the most spiritual parts of my mission! I Love it when the spirit is super strong and you just know they are ready to be baptized.
We have been teaching a girl named Solana that has been going to the english connect class I help teach. We are going to have a family home evening with her and her family this week. We are still trying to reach her goal of Baptism for June 15th!
We might be going to Bahia this week for a zone conference but we aren't sure if we can because my companion doesn't have an ID. So we are trying to figure that out haha.
I KNOW this church is true! I love it. I know Christ lives and loves us. I know the book of mormon is true and if we read it every day we will feel the spirit and make better decisions. Choose the right!! Love you all! Hope you all had a good Memorial Day!
