This week was something else! Well, we have had an investigator here in this area named Ambar. She's 18 years old and has been an investigator for the last 5 years. Funny thing is that she has a sister serving out in the mission! Well, we haven't really been working with her a lot lately, just because she hasn't really been spiritually progressing a lot. I remember one day we were teaching her and I got the random impression or thought that she would be baptized. This was like 4 weeks ago when I thought that. Anyway, we just haven't really been working with her too much, but on Monday I decided to go see her with my companion and the Branch President and some members! It was so awesome! She agreed that night to get baptized on Friday! We were so pumped! Right after the lesson we called President Moreno (our Mission President) to call the Mission President in Bolivia so that her sister who is serving there could maybe watch it or something!
Anyway, President Moreno hooked it up and called her sister in the mission in Bolivia and then BAM, we went to visit with her on Tuesday night totally pumped to tell her that her sister knows that she is going to get baptized and that the whole ward is happy and ready for her, but the first thing she tells us is that she changed her mind. Yeah, I was so shocked. My first thought was that it is going to be hard for her sister serving a mission in Bolivia to find out, but we didn't tell President Moreno to call her because we still felt so much faith. We felt so sad when she told us! So we left her home on Tuesday night and went over to the church, and at the church there were a lot of young women having their activity so we told them to go see Ambar and visit with her about being baptized. They were great and went straight there, and yup, Ambar told them the same thing - she wasn't getting baptized.
Now fast forward to Thursday night. (The goal for her baptism was Friday night and her sister in Bolivia still thought that her sister was going to finally get baptized). So Thursday night, she had us come over for another lesson and we took a lot of members there to teach and testify with us! We had, I think, 13 members in the lesson! The first thing that Ambar told us is that her sister in Bolivia had called her and told her how happy she was that she was finally getting baptized and just all that good stuff. The cool thing is that we didn't know that her sister was going to call her on Thursday! It was a miracle! The next thing Ambar asked us was, "So, who wants to baptize me tomorrow!!!" It was so awesome! So much faith for this miracle! We all thought she was going to quit and was not going to get baptized and then she got baptized! Out of nowhere, her sister felt inspired and called her and she even got to skype her sister in Bolivia during the baptism! It was so awesome! And we found a super cool family to teach this week!
So yeah, this week was an awesome week! We moved houses and it is a lot better!
Doing swell! The work here is awesome! I hope this place can become a stake while I'm here!
Please read in the Doctrine and Covenants 107:99-100 (The importance of doing your church callings ;))
