| Baptism |
Well turns out I was right and I am
going to be here in San Marcos another change. I am actually excited because we
are going to do well this month in the area, and also semana santa (holy week)
is this month and I will be in one of the cooler areas, that is a
blessing! Hahah my companions are Elder Wagstaff and Elder Lambson, we
are in a trio which will be good to work a little more with the zone and be
able to keep the area running. We should have some success in the area this
month so all is well!
This week not too much happened, on Tuesday
we got the call that Elder Hernandez would be leaving. The members didn’t
really get to know him at all and he wasn’t their favorite so there were no
tears shed there. We found a couple cool people and got everything ready
for changes.
Wednesday we got up early and went to
change meeting. Change meeting is always fun to get to see all of the ZLs
and hang out, we got a pretty good zone so I am excited to see what people can
do. Elder Nave left and is now a ZL in Granada, so we have a new DL there
in Masatepe. The other DLs stayed the same, and our zone now has 19
missionaries. Things are going great.
Thursday we got out possibility
interviewed for baptism, I also had to go to Masatepe to look for a house with
them. While we were looking we were kind of contacting at the same time.
We got to this guy and I started talking about repentance, and he let us in
super quick. He told us that he was going through some hard times, and he
needed help. We talked about the atonement and stuff like that. Turns
out he went to church on Sunday with the Elders there so that was cool!
Friday was a super crazy day, I had
to make like 4 trips to Diriamba, it was a ton of traveling. Elder
Wagstaff went and did divisions there, but they had a couple problems with some
people that were going to get baptized. I went with them to try to save
the baptisms but it didn’t happen. The daughter of a less active that we
baptized last week (her mom came to church this week for the first time in a
couple years too) gave us a reference for a family that lives in front of her.
We had a lesson with the family and they were super awesome. The guy
asked us for a Book of Mormon so we are in the process of teaching him.
They came to church on Sunday which was great.
Saturday we were blessed to have a
baptism. It was the son of a less active, we were able to reactivate the whole
family while teaching him which was awesome. He also brought his aunt and
cousin to the baptism so we have a cita (appointment) with them tonight.
We have been getting a lot of references lately which is the best.
Sunday was a great day, we got
everyone we needed to to church, along with 2 families. This week we should
have 2 baptisms, and the next week have 2 as well, so if you could keep Maria,
Kati, Roger and William in your prayers that would be great. Another
member brought us her neighbor after church and we put a fecha (baptismal date)
with her too, she should progress well. Thanks for all of your prayers,
they are all appreciated.
Love you lots,
Elder Hanson
