Tuesday:
I did an intercambio, again. i did it with elder runyan, it was cool because it was his last week as a missionary, so ive learbned a lot from him. we had district meeting this morning, and thats what all these pics are from. this night we had baptism interviews for benjamin and paula. and they both passed!! so we are going to have 2 baptisms on saturday! woohoo!!!
Wednesday:
we finished our intercambio, and finished making our invitations for the baptisms this weekend, and we found out that benjamin wants elder willey to baptism him, so we will be planning on that!
Thursday:
This morning we had weekly planning, and we were planning a lot for the baptism, i called some people to invite them, which is a big step for me, its hard to understand on the phone and i was able to call them! so that was super cool, the gift of tongues has really blessed me, lots of members and other missionaries always tell me that! apparently my spanish is way better than a normal missionary that finishes training! this day we started another intercambio, i went with elder Deus, he is from brazil, so he only knows words in english like yes, what, and i dont know.. hahaha.. it was hard on this intercambio because we didnt have a bunch of plans, andf i had to lead the sector, so we ended up walking a lot, but it was okay, and this morning it pooured super hard, i have a small video of it ill try to send.
Friday:
we finished the intercambio, and i recieved my package!!! finally, almost 2 months, we got to take the bus free from the intercambio, because one of our investigators was working on that bus, so that was pretty cool. we had some good lessons, but were about to get home late, we had 10 mins to walk up a huge hill then run a long ways home, that normally would take us like 20. but we got to the top of the hill andf started running, and we made it home right on time! it was super cool, we dont even know how we did it! we truly are blessed!
Saturday:
we had our baptism of benjamin and paula, it was super cool, and they were super happy. but it was a bit of a crazy experience. we got there a few hours early to fill the font, and the font was filling, and was warm. about 15 minutes before the baptiusm started, i went to check it, the water was all EMPTY!!! someone had turned off the drain! so we went and grabbed all the young men(were having an activity in the gym). and they started getting buckets filled with water to throw in the font. we finally got it filled in time to baptize. the water was suppeerrrr cold!! paula almost didnt want to get baptized because of how cold it was. but we convinced her, and then i ended up having to baptize her 2 times because her knee came up, haha it was crazy, and super cold. on our way home from the baptism these drunk guys stopped us in the street and were talking to us, they actually were pretty smart, probably the smartest drunk guys ive evr met(and trust me, ive met a lot). haha we also recieved our cambios this night, our new president is starting to do it this way, on saturdays, but ill add those in at the end!
Sunday:
we had church and the confirmations of benjamin and paula, elder willey was going to confirm benjamin, and i was going to confirm paula, but right before i was going to do it the elders quorum president stepped up and did it, which was kind of a relief, i was freaking out i was so nervous. it also poured again this night and we were soaked! like super wet, haha... and then also this night, i challenged some of our good investigators to be baptized, on the 20th of august, she said she will pray about it, so we know she is going to get baptized haha!
Today: this morning was sunny, so we were able to dry all our clothes out and everything!! thank goodness!!
Cambios/ transfers: Me: i will be staying in cañete, i will be getting a new companion named Elder Colluta or something like that, another gringo comp, which im excited about.
Elder Willey: he will be going to be a Zone Leader in the south, the very most south zone, so he will be leaving tomorrow morning.
Well thats my week for this week!
Everyone have a good week!!
Elder Severtson
