WOW!! It has been a VERY exciting week!! We had 2 BAPTISMS on Saturday. Natalia and her daughter Emily.
Now, for those of you who are wondering why Lorena didn't get baptized, I'll explain why. Before Lorena had her interview, my companion and I were discussing whether the 3 of them were ready and prepared for baptism or not. When we talked about Natalia and her daughter, we felt fine, but when we got to the subject of Lorena, there was a little bit of uneasiness. We prayed about it and both felt that we should push her baptism back a week. We don't know why, we just had a feeling that it was necessary. After her interview, the Elder let us know that he felt it would be good if she waited a week as well, of which we hadn't even discussed with him before the interview. It was tough telling Lorena that, and she didn't take it all too well, but I feel in the end we made the right decision. :)
The best part?? MY FIRST SON IS GOING TO HAVE A BAPTISM IN HIS FIRST WEEK!!!!! That's right! I'M TRAINING!! Elder Chavez has been called as District leader and is leaving to Penco, and I'm going to stay here and HAVE A SON!! I'm super excited and ready to meet him tomorrow! Rumor has it he will be latin, but who knows!!??
Have a fantastic week all!!!!!!!
