Well this week was another great week down here! We found a lot of really cool people to teach, our investigators that we already had are still progressing and excited about getting baptized, and we had a baptism! A week doesn´t get much better than that here in the work of the Lord!
The baptism was for a kid named Edgardo. I can´t remember if I wrote about him before but if not here it is. He's an 18 year old kid who has actually been wanting to get baptized for a while. But his parents didn´t want him to get baptized because they´re a really catholic family so he had to wait until he turned 18 so that he could be baptized. He´s way cool though, he loves the church and is always doing things with the young men in the ward, going to the activity with them and everything. He also says that he wants to serve a mission so he just have to wait a little while and then he´ll be leaving as well to join the rest of them that are leaving here soon. It´s awesome how much they´ve helped him and supported him throughout the time that he´s been investigating the church.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to talk in sacrament meeting. We talked about missionary work, kinda crazy huh? Ha so I was sitting there in sacrament meeting listening to Elder Tzep talk and then just like that he was done. Ha I honestly think he only talked for like 6 or 7 minutes. When he got done I looked at my watch and there was like 20 minutes left still. I was just like oh man this is gonna be interesting to see what happens. But it actually turned out pretty good afterwards everyone told me that they liked it and my comp said that it was good. Ha before the mission there was no way I could have done that without just standing up there and rambling on about nothing but it´s awesome to see how the mission helps us to be able to give these talks according to the spirit and what it indicates for us to say.
This week is the last full week of the change, ha i can´t believe another change has come and gone. They just keep going faster and faster. But we have alot of work to do helping our investigators to keep progressing until they get baptized.
Thank you all for all your love and support
Elder Westwood
