Un ano en la mission

Hola familia, I have SO much to tell you guys this week and i dont think im going to have time to tell you everything! First off, on tuesday morning we moved houses and i dont have pictures of our new house but next week for sure ill send you the pics. It is so so nice to come home at night to a house where I actually feel like i can be at home and rest. Really i think that i am now receiving the blessing for my patience i had in my first house. My first house was super chafa (awful) and now im finally receiving the blessings. The shower still has freezing cold water so that doesnt change, but we have cabnets in the kitchen and the toilet actually flushes! and the floor is super clean that i would feel comfortable eating off it haha. Its because its a brand new house and no one has ever lived in it before. but yeah pictures next week. Also this week we had interviews with President Spjut. Wow i love president and hermana spjut. They really are so amazing and so loving. The interview was really great and i feel like i can share whatever i want with him. Truth is im really happy right now in my mission so it wasnt like i needed encouragement or anything but all is well. Anyways now update about our investigators: Carlos Chafoya: WAS BAPTIZED YESTERDAY!!! yeah super awesome. So on monday we had a noche de hogar with Hno William and we watched the movie Finding Faith in Christ. Carlos really loved it. He had tears in his eyes and everything. After the movie we talked a lot about Christ and his sacrifice for us and how we have to exercise our faith and follow his example. We talked about baptism and he said he thinks he would be ready to be baptized on sunday. The thing was he wasnt exactly sure...he knew he wanted to be baptized but he wasnt sure if he could on sunday but then we told him that he had to have an interview before his baptism so if he was thinking about sunday he needed to have an interview during the week. So during the week the zone leaders interviewed him and he said he wanted to be baptized on sunday. We planned it all and after the stake conference on sunday night we had his baptism. It was really great. A lot of his good friends in the ward came and also his wife came. We are going to start working with his wife because carlos really really wants his wife to come to church with him. Something really neat was that Hno William told us that Carlos had told him that sunday he was out in the corn field before his baptism and i guess he just knelt down in prayer in the middle of the corn fields and made a promise with God that he was going to be baptized that day. During all of the process of Carlos he had a few moments of doubt and didnt think he would keep going, but really the spirit worked through him in his whole process. Im so happy for him and im so grateful for William who gave us his name as the referral. Julio Casarez: So yeah this whole week i was torn about when we should baptized julio. When i had my interview with president spjut i was asking him what i should do and he told me that ill just know what i should do. But on friday our district leader did his baptismal interview and says that there isnt any problem about why he could be baptized. Then sunday after the stake conference julio had an interview with our bishop. THe bishop before was really hesitant about him being baptized because he had only see him...But after the interview he said that there is no problem in him being baptized and the bishop is really willing to keep supporting him after his baptism. So he probably is going to be baptized this weekend. Tonight we are going to watch finding faith in christ with him and talk about blessing and the priesthood and we are going to have him receive a blessing so that he can get walking better and recover from all of the side affects. He actually has over 6 months to leave his addiction. Manuel Mejia: He came to stake conference, We are just working with him to get married. But he is great. We hope in september with him. Apparently we found out that his mom died yesterday. Manuel is pretty old so i imagine his mom was pretty old but its still sad. But we are planning to review the plan of salvation with him and maybe that can keep motivating him. Rose: she is going to be on vacation for 2 weeks so we will go back to visit her in two weeks. Anyways thats basically all of the news for this week. This week me and my comp really are going to focus on finding new people to teach so that we can have more people for september. my comp has like 10 days now....so thats crazy. We are just enjoying our last weeks and im glad that her last two weeks in the mission we are baptizing so thats great! I love you all so much! Keep helping out the missionaries and i hope all is well. Cheer on those Utes for me this week! Hermana Groneman
