Hello World!
This last week was considerably less stressful with just our own area to worry about! We went to work! My new companion, Elder Deza, is really cool! He is really relaxed and a go with the flow kind of guy, but still likes to work hard, and we get along really well!
The week itself didn’t have a whole lot new going on, just work work work to try and build our area back up. We discovered some promising families and are trying to discover a lot more!
Our church attendance went back up with the other companionship arriving, and things are back to progressing in the same form they were before! We had a baptism yesterday. Technically it was a baptism of the other Elders but it was still cool for me because she was a woman that Elder Medina and I taught and prepared for baptism and the other missionaries arrived with a baptism already closed and confirmed! Her name is Katerina and she is really cool! When we started teaching her she had no desire to go to church or do anything, but we got her to commit to at least pray. When we visited the next day we asked how it was, she said she felt normal, nothing new. So we told her to try one more time that night, and after praying, to stay on her knees so pondering and focusing on how she felt for at least 30 seconds. The next day we came to visit her and everything was different! She said she did what we had said and it was something cool, definitely different, that she did not know how to explain!
Just goes to show once again that god is with us every step of the way, most of the times we just need to calm down and look.
Love you all and hope you have a good week!
