So, it´s pretty chilly here in Tupiza, and SUPER dry. I had to buy
some eye drops, because I couldn't see very well the first few days I
was here, because my eyes were so dry. My poor Ohio skin, that grew up
in 115% humidity, it pretty sad. It´s also been super windy lately.
And its all dirt, no grass to be found. Usually it´s not too bad, but
Friday it was CRAZY. Like, we could hardly see, because there was so
much wind and dirt.
We had some really good lessons this week, and a baptism. But some
days no one was home for us to visit. Our area is a pretty decent
size, so we try to visit people in one area one part of the day, and
others in other areas. We plan pretty strategically. But, when no one
is home, we end up just walking all around town. It´s more tiring when
we don´t have any lessons than when we do.
This week our baptism was a 10 year old girl named E.. Her older
brother is a member, and her uncle is the branch president. But the
day of the baptism was pretty interesting. We called to remind her to
bring a towel and stuff, and her mom told us it would be better if she
was baptized another day. I guess E. was nervous to be baptized, and
her mom didn´t want her to have any doubts about it. But when we went,
E. told us she wanted to be baptized that day, and didn´t have any
doubts. So we talked with the family for a while, and they were still
a little unsure. So, we all got on our knees and prayed, to see if we
should go ahead with the baptism that day, or wait a few weeks. The
spirit was so strong, testifying to us that E. was ready to be
baptized that day. We all felt it, everyone in the room. It was one of
the most spiritual moments I´ve had in my mission and in my life so
far.
I am really glad to be here right now, and to have this opportunity
to invite other to come unto Christ, and to help them grow closer to
our Heavenly Father.
I hope everyone has a great week!
