50: Bautizar. Confirmar

It has been a crazy week! I wasnt in the area for the majority of it but we ended up with lots of new really positive investigators and references. They are coming out of nowhere it seems like! We are really excited for Prados.

Tuesday we had leadership council and it was a really neat experience, my first time as an invited guest! We used to go as nurses too but we wouldnt be present the whole time, just to announce things and fill first aid kits. Then Wednesday was our Zone Conference with Zonas Villa Olympica y Esperanza.

Meetings like this are always a big boost for me, I leave so excited to get back to work. I think my favorite part was when we finished our workshop as a zone and walked in on the workshop from Zona Esperanza. They changed the words to "Mirad reales huestes" or "Behold a royal army" to say:

(Chorus)

Bautizar, confirmar por el que nos salva

Bautizar, confirmar por Cristo Rey Jesus 

Encontrar, enseñar, bautizar por Cristo Rey Jesus!

That is a powerful song, you could feel that spirit listening from the hallway. It was playing through my head all week. Me da ganas de bautizar!

Speaking of bautizar, we are close! When we were in divisions this week we contacted an investigator from La Joya that moved just a week ago to our area. She is already ready for baptism, she knows everything! With all the assistances she has we are hoping she can be baptized in two weeks. Her name is Karla, and she has a friend named Itzel who lives with her and has the same story. Really excited for them!

In church we had just one investigator, her name is Joshira. The missionaries here had left her for a while I think because she was hard to find. But we found her! And we took her to church! Then in Principios del Evangelio the teacher challeneged everyone there to baptism and Joshira said yes. So we are really happy! Just need to put a date.

Divisions were great this week, I was in La Joya with Hermana Vega. She is still in her training, so it was fun to get to know her and anser her questions. At one point she asked me "what is your favorite part about the mission?" I took a second to think about it, but the most pure, honest, and helpful answer I could give her was "I love the person I am". Simple as that!

And writing this just now Veronica, one of the investigators from Girasoles, came into our Cyber to surprise me and say hi. A little teary now. I love the mission!

1-3. Divisions with La Joya

4-5. I forgot to add this a while ago, this is what Esteban and Veronica gave me as a gift before I left! On the back it says "Para hna Morgan de Esteban y Veronica"

6-7. Some members from Hna Bissells ward in the south came to go to the temple and invited us to lunch today. Suyapa and Hno Cesar from Cabañas, Porvenir.
