Hey! So this week was a good one. The best thing is that we have seen a lot of progress with Saúl! We are like so excited for him. So, I told you the last week that he totally said the prayer and it was such a mirales, right? Well, guess what happened this week! So, we planned on going to his house to visit him like 3 different times this past week... And 2 of those times, we had to cancel! So, we cancelled on Tuesday cuz my companion was feeling super sick (long story short...a member that gave us lunch on Tuesday also gave us this coconut water that was DISGUSTING. I drank all of mine-cuz it´s rude to not-but, my companion like almost threw-up at the table... Haha it was so funny! But, in the end, she just got sick from it...) so, we cancelled and his mom told us that it was totally ok... So then, we were supposed to go on Wednesday and we were at some other members house way too late and didn´t have time to take a colectivo to the Maldonado´s house. They live like way far from where we live. So, we cancelled again! But, when we called his mom (Lourdes) she told us that it was ok, again, but that Saúl has a surprise for us the next day. So we are like freaking out and we wanna know what this surprise is! So, the next day comes along and we are like si o si we need to go to his house. And we ALMOST didn´t cuz it looked like it was going to rain hard (and long story short AGAIN, when it rains like super hard, there are no colectivos on the street where they live... so we would be stranded...) But, we took a leap of faith and went! And no, it didn´t rain... So that was grand. But, we got there are..... HE WASN´T EVEN THERE!!!!! He was like in another city for work. So, we didn´t even get to talk to him! But, Lourdes told us that the surprise is that he wants to get baptized THIS SATURDAY!!! So I am like so excited and like really shooting for this week, cuz it´s before changes!! Haha and I´m not saying anything, cuz really only President McMullin and the Lord know changes, but, it is just a lot more sure if he gets baptized while I am for sure still in Itaugua! Haha, so that was the cool thing that happend. Also, he came to church on Sunday and told us that he would tell us the surprise when we visit him... HAHA he doesn´t know that we know the surprise... But, we are going to visit him tonight to figure everything out! Hopefully things go smoothly cuz seriously, I have seen such a huge change in him and I am so excited for him to be able to be baptized and receive the same blessings that his family has received! They are all going to be members! Fingers crossed and knock on wood that nothing changes! And that things go good... But, if it's true that he is gonna try for this Saturday... We are gonna have to teach him like the whole lesson 4 (the commandments...) last FAST. But, let´s hope it goes smoothly!
So that is the coolest spritual thing that happened this week. I can´t think about anything else that happened. We found a lot of new investigators this week... That was really cool. We went to a city called San Lorenzo today for p-day, just to explore. There were some cool things. I mostly wanted to go cuz I wanted to go to this music store that is there... And I may or may not have bought some drumsticks. Hahaha ;) But yeah... Not much for this week. There were some other things we did like yesterday, me and my companion made a few videos of us singing... Haha ridiculous. But, really... She is like my best friend! We have like the best times together! There is not a day that we don´t laugh at something dumb that happened or something hilarious that one of us did. I really hope that I get ONE MORE change with her. Just one! Haha also, cuz I love Itaugua and there are some cool people that we are working with right now that I would love to see where they go in the future. But, we will find out next week! You guys will know if I stay or if I go in ONE WEEK. Que LOCO! But, I love you so much and thank you for all you do for me! Have a GRAND week and just remember that LES AMO!
