This week was long! It is always long the week of transfers because we are always so eager to find out what is going to happen.
Ok one funny story and the OUR BAPTISM!
So on Tuesday when Hna Caba was doing intercabios and I was with Hna Snelson in my area we were teaching Reinier and in our lesson was Reinier, Duglas, Carlos and sitting behind us but listening in was Fernando (the guy that we half dropped/he half dropped us a few weeks ago because he would pray and didnt want to pray etc etc). We teach them in the street remember, because they all live in the street, but they have chairs and we have this little alley thing that we take the chairs to and teach them there. So mid lesson I feel something wet drop on my head. It had rained the day before so for a very split second I thought, eww, huh, must be water. Then literally half a seoncd later I see something tiny and white fall on Duglas´s hand and it immediately clicked in my head that it in fact was NOT water but BIRD POOP! I screamed "AHHH en mi pelo, madre mia voy a morir!" everyone started busting up laughing but thankfully Carlos had a hankercheif in his pocket so took it out and cleaned my hair for me. It was the size of a nickle. Literally. Oh madre mia. Haha mid lesson a bird poops on my head! so gross.
Now on to the baptism!!!! So, Duglas was baptized yesterday!!!! It was a total team effort by us and the 3 hermanas in Gaudalehara. So, Duglas is from Cuba and is part of the group of Carlos. But, his wife just ahd a baby 1 month ago and also has another boy who is 12 so the wife, Duglas Jr, and the new baby live in Gaudalehara in a piso with a friend but there is no room for Duglas so he lives in the tent with Carlos and the others. So we taught Duglas here in our area and the hermanas in Gaudelahara taught Debora and Duglas jr and all 3 were baptized yesterday in Gaudelahara!!!! It was so wnonderful! As amazing as every baptism is, baptizing a family is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Carlos was able to baptize Duglas which although started out a little rough (Carlos is super weak and so it took him 5 times to be able to get him fully under) ended up being super awesome. It was a great day!!! The three bore their testimonies after and let me tell you, each one was so powerful! Ah, it was just amazing.
I love you all!
Love, Hermana Heims
