Yesterday was great!! It was my companion's birthday. And so we had a family home evening with most of our recent converts, and...wow we ate a TON of cake. When Chileans make you something,, and you don´t eat it, they get offended, and as missionaries we try not to offend people, so sometimes we just have to eat...ha. But it was so fun to spend time with the people that I love so much.
Also yesterday, three of our recent converts all received the Aaronic Priesthood, it was powerful.
We also had a baptism yesterday. For the special musical number, my companion and I sang a son in a mix of spanish and english and the members LOVED it!! His mother was going to be baptized as well. For the baptismal interview she got all ready and pretty for the interview and passed it with flying colors. But...three days before the baptism, she got sick and went to the hospital, and she is still there...she was so sad, but she´ll be baptized this weekend so its ok.
One of the less active members we helped activate is coming to church regularly. And most of our recent converts are doing really well!!! yay:). She can sew anything, and she always fixes my dresses.. she´s amazing!
We are working hard with a few people to get them baptized before I leave, and with the recent converts so that they stay strong when we leave the area.
