Ok so we had 2 baptisms this weekend! Fernando Peña and Genaro Zamuido! The 2 of them were basically milagros! Fernando is a kid thats 9! Part of his family are members! He has wanted to be bapitzed for a long time now but his mom always said no... but finally his mom said yes! and now she is also thinking about being baptized! so thats great! we are super excited for her!
The biggest milagro is Genaro Zamudio. Ok so this man is from Peru, hes 55. He has been asisting church for over 2 years now with his family! His fam got baptized 2 years ago! He goes to church every sunday without fail every week! He is seriously more loyal then the members hahaha! So he always says that he will be baptized, just not now! So 10 months ago his Son went out on a mission. Hes in Chile. His Son always tells him to get baptized but he just gives another excuse on why he should wait. Well the missionaries have tried for years with him and hes always shut them down. One night, on and intercambio, Elder Ponce and I went to his house and had an amazing lesson! Really the spirit was so strong! We read some parts in DyC that are super strong and a bit harsh to hear to be honest hahaha! Well that was 3 weeks ago, it was the first time he really excepted a baptismal date! Well that date fell bc he gave another excuse but anyways he still went to church! In church we had a few people that were progressing for baptism so the Bishop stood up and invited all the inv to stand in the crowd. He then proceeded to say that everyone of them was going to be baptized the 18 of Agosto! Now to be fair, most of the inv had a baptismal date for the 18th of Agosto! The only one that didn't was Genaro! But the Bishop saying this kinda hit him in the heart! Members came up after to congratulate him and everything and he began to think well I guess its the answer that I need be baptized this day!
So 2 weeks pass by and we don't even know that Genaro has decided to be bapitzed this day. He wife last sunday tells us, Elderes my Husband wants to be baptized finally! You need to come to my house! So we tried to pass by like 2 times during the week but everytime he wasnt home... we basically gave up hope there... Friday night at 10 PM the wife calls me and says, Elder, You have to come to my house tomorrow in the morning at 8 to help my Husband! He is still wanting to be baptized tomorrow! So we are just shocked! We get there at 8 in the morning and see how he feels, went over everything that we have taught him and then at 3 in the afternoon he has his bapitsmal interview and at 4 he was baptized. Seriously one of the biggest miracles of my mission haha!
Well sorry that its super long but i love you all! Hope you have a great week! Transfers are next week and I will be getting a new comp (Kinda)! Elder Constanze is going to go to Catamarca and Elder Vaz is going to be my comp again! I am super excited to be comps with him again! :)
