This week has been pretty normal. Time is passing by quite fast. We had a couple of setbacks this week, but we are excited to finally have another baptism in the coming weekend. We had two investigators that had scheduled baptism dates for this coming weekend. One of them, Maria, had her interview with the District Leader, and found out that we had to have an interview with President with her. We scheduled the day for the interview, and she was super excited about it... Then the day of the interview comes and she gets really sick, and has to go to the hospital... She's been in the hospital since then, and that was a week and a half ago. Kati, the other investigator, was super excited too, to get baptized this coming week the 19th, but then I guess she forgot about the Word of Wisdom or something, because when we went to pick her up she was very, very hungover, so now she has to have another interview with the District Leader before she can get baptized.
The bright spot is we have a kid named Lautaro, who is 12 years old, and is super excited to get baptized this Saturday on his birthday. I am going to baptize him and Elder Haycock will confirm him. We have been going by his house everyday for like 3 weeks, so we kind of ran out of stuff to teach him, so we just take him with us and visit all his friends and neighbors. It's been pretty fun with him.
Anyways, something funny that happened this week, we were walking through the Villa on Saturday afternoon, which is like when everybody is out, and a bunch of dudes shouted at us and did the "Heil Hitler" sign thingy, and I was just like, "Thanks, not Germans, but thanks". The Villa is a strange place filled with wonder and mystery.
The mission is going well, the time passes by quite fast. Transfers are this coming week, and Elder Haycock has survived his infancy, so I guess I'm not that bad of a Father! I finished reading the Book of Mormon this past week, and I think reading in Spanish has helped me slow down and appreciate how important it is. The mission is simple, if a person reads the Book of Mormon and prays, they get baptized. Simple as that. I love you guys!
