Week 88 - Old Friends and Baptisms!

This week I got to go to Viña and see pretty much all my friends in the mission -- Elder Palilla, Elder Ormond, Elder Navarro, Elder Cheney, etc.  It was awesome!

In Viña, I heard some great news from the elders in my old area.  My investigator, "F", from Las Maravillas is going to be baptized this next Saturday.  That's awesome!  I might even be able to go. I'm hopeful.

Also, I learned that "R" from La Serena got baptized and that they are still working with a family that I taught.  One of them is really close to getting baptized.

I baptized a lady named "F".  She had been taught by the sister missionaries and had asked me to baptize her.

This week we mostly just searched for new people to teach.  Oh, and another funny experience happened.  My bicycle wheel broke.  So I probably have more expenses.  Ugh.

I bought some trompos for gifts.  I also bought another toy.  These are toys that come out during Chile's independence celebrations.  A member is going to Viña today and she said she would try and find me some special Chilean things there too.

A trompos (we think)

Today we are grilling meat for the holiday.  Another funny experience we had during this giant planned activity was that a member took the grill so we are having to grill without a grill -- but that's pretty much my life.
