What an awesome week! Biggest news of the week, José got baptized!!! It was sooooo good. We did a double baptism with the other ward because a lady from there was getting baptized too. The program was super good. There were a couple talks, two other elders and I sang "Nearer, My God To Thee" and then my companion baptized him. His wife was crying (I couldn’t really tell if he was, being that he was drenching wet) and he came out beaming happy.
Sunday was super good. He showed up early for church and everything, and during classes had an interview with the bishop. The bishop asked him if he was ready to start serving in the church, so right after he got confirmed he got sustained to get the Aaronic Priesthood and then after church he got ordained. Hopefully in a year or so I’ll be making a trip back to Argentina for their temple sealing. :) Anyway, after church we had lunch at their house and José made asado (Argentine BBQ) and holy smokes, that was the most incredible meat I’ve ever eaten. It was soooooo tender and they had put it in this yummy garlic marinade. It was just wow.
Anyway, other than that, not much going on. We had been focusing a lot on José, getting him over those final hurdles, and now we don’t really have any progressing investigators. So, now that we’re freed up a little on time we’re going to be focusing a lot more on finding *lots* of new investigators and working on our non-progressing investigators.
Today we went up to the mountains next to the city where the Christ statue is where I went last year when I was here. It was super fun and we got some sweet pictures of the clouds melting down the mountain. Enjoy!
Love you all tons! The church is true!!
