We baptized
Carmen yesterday! It was a fantastic baptismal service! She was so excited! She
couldn’t wait all week. It was a great experience being able to share with her.
We almost lost her because she went to a Catholic Church meeting and her family
told her a bunch of things and she got confused but we studied with her and
shared some great things and she continued to progress real well until her
baptism! So that was way cool! She is a great convert, she is so stoked to be a
member. The baptismal water came out cold so the water was freezing! Haha so that’ll
be something she'll never forget.
On Thursday we went out to the farmland to go
teach an investigator named Demoria. She is the mom of a member and the grandma
of Jose who we baptized. We went to the rural bus terminal to catch the bus at
5 and supposedly it was the bus that was supposed to take us there. So they
dropped us off out in the middle of nowhere, and we saw the sign that said
Ranchillo 4 kilometers. So we started walking and we got confused so we called
and then got turned around because we thought she told us to go another way.
But after a couple of calls and turning around a bunch of times, she sent out
one of the workers and he found us. We walked like 6 miles that day in the
middle of the day when the sun was scorching. So finally we got there and she
gave us some juice and we taught her and her husband. Then we were supposed to
get a ride from their neighbor who was loading firewood into his truck with a
horse carriage, but he was gonna be a while longer so we started walking back
down the dirt road...... Hitchhike style! Haha so a little ways down some
farmer dude in a whooped out Suzuki samurai and a trailer full of horse feed
let us in. And he took us back to San Carlos. So it was quite the adventure
that day. We were spent and our nostrils were filled with dirt boogers. So we got
some good pictures too! And her and her husband and daughter ended up coming to
church on Sunday! She loves reading the books and the Book of Mormon. They are
great. A while back her husband bred horses and raced them in the rodeos so
they have a huge ranch...his name is Huaso Urribe. So that was cool. They are
great. But everything is going great we are hoping to baptize her and her
granddaughter and Javier before I leave here! So pray for them please! I love
all of you guys!!! Have a great week!
Les quiero,
Elder Johnson
