Hey! So, not a whole lot to say about this week. Our investigators are having a kind of hard time and we´re just going to have to wait and see if they´ll progress or not.
The mom of Julia was baptized when she was 19, but she doesn´t have a testimony of the church at all. We´re trying really hard to get her to accept the date we have set for this saturday. In one conference we were told that every companionship should be having one baptism every month. I know that was a goal given to us from Heavenly Father and I´m absolutly determined for Julia to get baptized this month, if not this Saturday then the next. I know we can do it!
We have a super awesome couple that we{re working with right now, Leonardo and Mirian. They had been meeting with Missionaries almost a year ago but Leo didn´t want to get married. I guess they stopped progressing or something, but back with Hermana Kleinmen we decided to try and meet with her again. And she´s super cool! She has a really strong testimony of the church and wants to get baptzied really bad. The problem though, like I said is that Leo doesn´t want to. Chile honestly sucks a little bit. There´s all kind of financial pentalties for people who are married, and Chile practically gives away houses to unmarried men and women. Leo is waiting to be able to have a bigger house, I don´t know why he has to wait 100%, but he says in about 5 years, after he gets his house, they´ll get married. We fetl really inspired yesterday to go and visit them, because earlier this week, we extended a date for baptism/marriage on the last Saturday in May. We wanted to talk to them, and we had been talking about how Mirian is the best way for Leo to accept this date. It was so perfect, right as we started talking, someone knocked on the door and Leo went outside to talk to whoever it was. We immediatly started to talk to Mirian about what she wanted, and she said that yes, I am going to ask Leo this week and talk to him about it. The lords timing was perfect that we could have that time alone with Miran.
It´s starting to get pretty rainy down here! I´ve become a fire expert with the fireplace in our house.
Have a great week everybody! Exito! Chao!
