Awesome Week in Barrio 6

Awesome week here in Barrio 6. Sebastian is doing really well, and has his baptismal date for the 23rd. He is really excited! On Tuesday, we had a really busy afternoon planned. On of our set lessons fell through, because an investigator told us he wasn´t interested anymore, so we started to contact. As we were walking, I saw someone wave to us from an open door on the other side of the street. I thought I saw Lucia, so we went to go say hi, but when I kinda looked again I realized it wasn´t her. When we came up to the door, and it turns out there lived a couple of Lucia´s sisters and their mom, who all live in another house. We didnt have a lot of time, but got to know that and they seemed really interested. One of her sisters Martina also said that since Lucia got baptized, she has been happier than she has ever seen her! So cool. The gift of the Holy Ghost is so very real!

Gladys was able to go to the temple on Friday to do baptisms! We weren´t actually able to go with her, but we saw her the next day, and she was SO happy. She was able to prepare the names for her husband and her mother. And she has a ton more names now that she wants to prepare when she can go back. 

Yesterday, we had a capilla abierta, and it was super awesome! Elder Peterson and I had the part of explaining baptism and confirmation. It was a really awesome day because even not too many people came through, the people who did were super awesome! In fact, we started extending some baptismal invitations then and there, and there were four people who accepted!! Too bad none of them live in the Barrio 6 boundries haha.

Anyways, super excited about Chirstmas. We have our Christmas conference tomorrow for the mission. That is about it for this week though. Love you all! CHAU!!
