A Million Times BETTER

This week we baptized Dayanne on Saturday and Karen on Sunday. Dayanne had a difficult time; she was very scared of getting baptized and then sinning after. We went to her house before the baptism to help her relax and take away her anxiety. I taught the family how to play spoons (best card game ever) so she could relax until we left for the Baptism. She was even very sick with a cold and fever but she stayed strong; Satan sure didn´t want her to be baptized! After the baptism she said she felt a million times better and thanked us.

Karen´s story is miraculous. During the week, we were looking for less active members. We found a family in which the Dad was a member but the wife and kids weren´t. We invited him to return to activity in the church and he accepted! He said it was about time that he returned to church. The ward members said that they have been trying forever to get that family to church and we did it in one week! haha.  Karen, the daughter in the family, was very excited to be baptized.

This morning for P-day we woke us super early and climbed up a mountain called “Monte de Saboó”. It was a way prettier view than we expected at the top, due to the clouds that were covering the low-land. Apparently, it´s a super sacred area for all the Evangelic people. They go there to pray. We found a church group at the top and a few people were doing some hardcore praying.

Again, as always, thanks for everything!
