Hi fam! Well.... I´m a little drained this week, but doing great still! This last week added about 5 years to my life, I think. But, all went well and Ramon got baptised on Saturday!! It was great! He´s been investigating the church on and off for about 3 years, but finally got baptised on Saturday, and is loving it! Sunday was great too, because we got to give talks! It wasn´t just on missionary work, though... the WHOLE sacrament meeting was about SISTER MISSIONARY WORK! It was awesome. Me and hna Hill gave talks and 4 RM sisters shared their testimonies... it was amazing! Alright, so this week was pretty entertaining... here´s just 3 of the reasons: 1) SPIDERS - Last night while doing laundry on our porch behind the pension, I noticed a huge spider chillin on its web in the garden (of weeds) that we have... the only thing is it was HUGE! And weird too.... i really want to find out what kind it is. All i know is it was silver with fangs. So, we decided to catch it in a bucket. It almost got away, but we caught it, and took lots of pictures. While out there, though, someone closed the sliding glass door so it wouldnt get in the pension, and it Locked....meaning we were locked out... all 4 of us! Luckily we didnt lock the front door, so we climbed over the big wall and got in. But man was it a close call! 2) PIGEONS - We have a family that we´re teaching right now who is great, and is planning on getting baptised in a couple weeks. We went on Tuesday and they told us that the pigeon Camilo had got away (yep... a stray pigeon he brought homefrom the park to be his pet), and that he was devastated. While we were teaching them, though, in flew the pigeon! They were all amazed and kept saying it was because we were there, and that it was sent from God. The only thing is that this pigeon creeps us out! Then, the next cita we had on Thursday, the pigeon had left again, and while we were talking Camilo ran in with the pigeon and said (in spanish) " Look! He came back! He came back!" So now they always say the pigeon is sent from God. ...We just smile.... 3) EX-CONS? - One day we saw the brother of one of our investigators, so we stopped to say hi. As we were talking with them, more and more friends kept showing up, so we kept teaching more and more of them and giving out more and more folletos. I don´t know if you remember, but here in Olmos they have both the women´s and the men´s prison. We found out while talking to them that one was an ex con who never believed in Godbut "found God while he was in prison". Mom.... it made me laugh cuz it reminded me of you GLS rap CD since the artist who made it did the same thing. :) So... we decided... man, wouldn´t that be perfect... everyone only knows Olmos for the prisons, so now we´re going to have a baptism of ex¡cons! Don´t you worry.... we´re safe... it was just a funny moment. Anyways... those are our stories for the week that basically describe how random and twisted our week was. But hey... that´s what makes the mission so exciting... you never know what to expect! ANd just as soon as you think you´ve seen the weirdest, something else happens that always beats it :) I love you all. The church is true... no doubt about it! There is nothing better or that brings more happiness than following Christ and being obedient in all things. Les prometo. Smile tons, and go out of your way to help someone who is in need this week.
Un besito grande! Hermana Churchill
