What was the spiritual experience of the week? It had to be during a
lesson that we had last night with an inactive member from Tegucigalpa. He
served his mission, came back and went inactive. He has been inactive for a lot
of time but when he came here to San Pedro, we started to visit him and he
really has a great potential. He just talked to us about how he felt and how he
was thinking about not coming to church this Sunday, it was really neat to feel
the spirit, how we felt it there and he know that it was there. I feel
like he wants to change he just has to get up the willpower to do it and not
turn back.
What was your biggest challenge this week? I think it has been not
getting too frustrated with people. Many times people get some stupid ideas and
they don't thing of the results. And they get mad when one tries to explain
things too them. There is many times that people first call and they tell you
all about there problem and then they ask well what are you going to do about
it. Then comes the moment that you have to ask, “who am I talking with”. This is one of the biggest frustrations that I
have, every week they call and they expect you to know who they are when they
don´t tell you.
Where did you go for p day today? We didn't do anything today we
just went and cut our hair and now we are writing and after we will go and get
something to eat. What did you have for
lunch? We ate at a new meat place by our
house it was sort of expensive, we tried it but I don't think I would want to
go back.
I have been fixing some problems the mission has with baptism
records hopefully preventing future problems.
What were the problems with the mission baptism records? Lots have been lost. Were they digital? No, we have the paper records; they just
haven't been well take care of by others. I made and excel sheet that should fix these
problems, the new secretary (my companion’s replacement) comes tomorrow so we
are going to make him think that this is how it has been all along so he does
not have bad habits. Do you know who is
coming to the office? I think so his
name is Elder C. he is a convert and he is a graduated lawyer. He will come tomorrow in the afternoon, someone
else is going to go and pick him up.
Did you eat any good food? Yes I made tuna and also I made a lot of
salad, one night I made that yellow saffron rice that I bought.
How did the baptism go? Hopefully you have pictures, who baptized
her? When do you usually do the
confirmation? The baptism was good. She
got baptized last Saturday. She was extremely nervous and didn't even want to
take pictures but after she was baptized everything was good, she wasn't nervous
anymore. She knows everything about the church she has come for her whole life
she was just never baptized. It was the most organized baptism that I had
seen the family brought snacks and the grandma was really excited that her
granddaughter was finally going to get baptized this was one of her few wishes
in life. I baptized her and I had to do it twice because I messed up the
first time. All converts get confirmed during sacrament meeting the Sunday
after their baptism. She was confirmed that Sunday. She is really happy we haven't
been able to have a lesson with her this week but we have passed by her house
to see how she has been doing.
What was something funny that happened this week? There was nothing-super
funny that happened this week. What
about the pillow pictures? That isn’t me
with the pillows, that was elder P.
So, when is the doctor scheduled to be baptized? Will you be doing the baptism or will it be
her boy friend? She is schedule for the 27th, I
hope. Her boyfriend and future husband
will baptize her.
Love you all, see you later
