Hello Everyone!
This week was awesome!! We had the baptism of our friend, Fernando! Fernando is our investigator who got married a couple of weeks ago in order to be able to live the law of chastity. He has been taking the discussions for three years now and has literally been waiting so long for this day!! He was able to be baptized by our stake mission leader, who is blind. Everyone felt the Spirit and it was such a sweet experience. It's people like him that make my mission feel worth it. To see his conversion has been so cool and I know that the other missionaries and the Lord have been preparing him for a long time for this moment. I feel so lucky that I was the missionary there to see him finally be baptized and share with him in these moments!
Spiritual experience:
This week we met with a cute little girl we've been teaching. She has had a really hard life and her mom committed suicide a little over two years ago. As we were teaching her and her dad, she shared with us all these experiences that she had had with prayer and seeing her prayers answered. She told us that she wanted to follow the example of the Savior and be baptized! I felt so impressed by this 10 year old girls example for me and her desire to do good. She is awesome.
Funny experience:
For Fernando's baptism we turned on the water pipin' hot because we thought it would cool down by the time of the baptism. We were dead wrong and ended up having to put ice cubes in the water hahahah
This week it has poured rain and my companion and I have felt a little bit like Moses parting the Red Sea. The water got up to our shins last Tuesday and we literally looked like two drowned rats out in the middle of Argentina.
I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving this past week!! It is crazy to think that Christmas season is upon us and it's snowing back home in Utah. I hope you all enjoy this season!
Love,
Hermana Spackman
