Week 96...Yo Pudiera Ser tu Héroe

Yo Pudiera Ser Tu Héroe

Yo what up, 

So this week was amazing! We had another baptism with my main man Enrique Iglesias! Okay, so maybe he's not Enrique Iglesias he's definitely much cooler than him! The baptism was pretty solid. We didn't have any issues with the font or with the bishop getting there to preside and there was little to no drama! I felt uncomfortable, because things just went way too smoothly. We even started on time at 7 which never happens... 7 in Chilean time is usually 7:45-7:50 but this time the service started exactly at 7! I am no longer stricken with the Grizzweaver curse and it honestly just makes me feel weird. I'm sure all with go back to normal when I see you guys again... what are we at now? 20 more weeks right? Ha-ha nah, I know I have 5 more Sundays left... how do I know that? Because I need to know how many more chances I have to baptize and confirm people! I confirmed Enrique and I felt a strong impression to guarantee him that if he keeps faithful in his covenants that he'll regain his ability to speak clearly. He can't speak very well after a stroke he had about 6 months ago, but I know that by not drinking and living a better life that he'll regain that ability! The gospel is amazing people! More amazing than the time I helped Vista win 2 state championships... QUE PASA CON VISTA NATION! It's all-good though a 4 peat is pretty impressive. I'm looking forward to going out on a run with Paxton Smith when I get back. Love that kid!

Anyway, we have another baptism all set and ready to go for this weekend. Antonella is a 10-year-old girl that is apart of an inactive family and her Mom has been endowed in the temple. It's amazing because we've basically reactivated the family and now Antonella is getting baptized! The members are calling us miracle workers! It's pretty amazing to see all the miracles taking place as I finish this last part of my mission. God is good... not to sound hippy or anything, but it is pretty awe-inspiring here in San Antonio! To the point where I just don't even want to go home. 

The zone is improving. We had a leadership meeting in Maipu on Friday and there was an earthquake and the Woodward’s just laughed because it started to shake pretty hard and we just kept talking and participating like normal. President Woodward was like, "Now I know that you guys are Chilenos because the earthquakes don't even cause you stop doing what you're doing." My comp always says that I'm "demasiado chileno." Because, I've picked up a few of their customs. It'll be funny to see when I come home if I crave some of the things I've grown to love in chile. 

I got to see Nacho Gonzalez be set apart as a full-time missionary on Monday.  He is head off to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Let me just tell ya that the Latinos basically have the whole ward present to see a missionary get set apart. It's like a party and everything! It’s cool to think when this kid gets out of the MTC... I'll be on my flight home. The work never stops or takes a break!

We have a ton of baptisms coming up and I just hope that President doesn't take me out of this sector to finish my last 5 weeks in some other zone! Pray that I stay here to finish! We have changes this Sunday! 

Love all of you guys. Keep it fresh. It's aright if ya'll feel trunky, but I ain't feelin it!

Love,

Elder Weaver
