Pop, Lock and Baptize It!
How it be mi gente?
Hold up, we in the last 4 changes of the mission now? What the flip Kip? The good news is that I'm never coming home. I did not get transferred. I am still in Cerrillos and Elder Suarez is still here as well (obviously) and we are set and ret to go. We got some solid new missionaries in our zone and we're looking forward to working with them! It's crazy to see the other changes in the mission and how small we are now in numbers! The good news is that we'll be getting a lot in 2 more changes.
So, I thought the zone was going to be going 2 weeks straight without a single baptism, but this weekend we had a miracle happen! The elders in another zone were teaching to a girl whose dad is a recent covert. She wanted to be baptized about 4 months ago, but she had issues, the good news is that she got over it and we programmed her interview with Presidente Woodward! SHE PASSED! So Cerrillos had the privilege of giving Presidente Woodward his first baptismal interview! She got baptized Sunday in the afternoon after her Dad got the priesthood so that he could baptize her!
Elder Suarez and I just keep giving it our all here in Primo de Rivera. The thing with our sector is that EVERYONE works in the feria on Sunday. That's typically what happens when you serve in a poorer area, everyone works in the feria cause they have no education. Elder Suarez has adapted a little to the ghetto-ness of our sector and now he's a little happier. We started a joke between us when I feel lazy or a little discouraged I say "Elder Suarez, no sé qué pasa, pero me siento latino." He says the same thing when he feels a little lazy but says "no sé pero me siento gringo." when he feels stressed and wants everything to just work perfectly. Needless to say, we keep ourselves happy with our jokes.
The way of informing missionaries that they have transfers has changed, and we had to meet up with a lot of missionaries in Estación Central and wouldn't ya know it... OSVALDO WAS THERE! Elder Marquina was picking up his new comp so we all took a pic right there and then! Osvaldo also told me that I’m gonna be a tio cause Katuisca is pregnant! Ha, ha, ha! I love that family. La Familia Tapia is also doing awesome and they'll be getting sealed in October!
The vision is still there and I'm working hard! I’m looking to baptize this month and without a doubt in August! Pray for the family I am teaching! I gotta baptize this family! The problem is they think we're super funny and it's hard to reprimand them and get them to think seriously about their salvation...they absolutely love me and it's hard to give em palos!
Shout out to Uncle Darin and Aunt Lesly for writing me letters! Love you guys a ton! Can't wait to come back and speak some castellano with you guys!
Love all of you a ton!
Signing Out,
Elder Weaver
