In answer to your question about the water, I´m drinking very well! We have clean water that we drink at home, because the tap water is dirty, and I drink a big ol´ cup of water during the morning, so that I´m not dying during the day. The members feed us daily, and it´s always good food. We are very blessed! As for cooking, I´ve been learning a few things. Hopefully, I come home as a cook!
Well, how good! This last week was good. We spent a lot of time visiting less actives, ancient investigators, and got some references from them! One of these references, Diego, came to Church and has a baptismal date for this Sunday. He goes to another church though, so we´re hoping that he reads the Book of Mormon and gets his answer. We´re teaching a member´s friend too, that came to Church. Her name is Kevley and she´s 13. She is shy, uses a different earing in each ear, and dresses like all the young people in Mesa, with weird colored jeans. It´s funny to see how the styles change, yet stay the same in other countries.
The highlight of the week: we´re teaching this 22 year old named Reinaldo. He has been reading the Book of Mormon, and last week, he took a shower and was walking to his room when he had this really good feeling come to him. He said that all of his worries and problems seemed to float away. He´s been having some problems at his work, but after this he felt like he could do anything. We explained to him that this was an answer of God, and he said that he already knew that it was. Reinaldo says that he´s much happier since he met us and should be getting baptized this Sunday!
So, we have really high hopes for this Sunday. All in all, there are 4 people that can get baptized, so we´ll be doing all that we can to make it happen. With our diligence, prayers, and the Lord on our side, anything can happen!
That about wraps things up. Have a Happy Halloween! I´m curious to see if anything big will happen here in Ji-Paraná for the big day, but we´ll see! Have a wonderful week. I love you.
