So the first high was VANESSA'S BAPTISM (/MARRIAGE/CONFIRMATION). Vanessa has been listening to the missionaries for over a year and a half. Way back then, she was devastated when she found out that she wouldn't be able to be baptized quickly, because she was living with a man and was not married, and was pregnant with their baby girl. Fast forward a year and a half, and all had been arranged for their wedding on the 29th of November 2019, and Elder Vidal and I were the lucky elders to be in the area at the time to prepare everything for her baptismal interview and baptism. It wasn't difficult since she had been studying and converted for a year and a half. We quickly arranged everything, and a few weeks and banana creme pie visits later (thanks for teaching me that skill, dad), she was married to her husband Pablo, and her father in law performed her baptism, and she was confirmed a member of the Church two days ago. I feel so blessed to have been a part of this experience, and I can tell how much she loves the Gospel. GO VANESSA!!!
Some fun info: transfers were this week, so my Chilenito Elder Vidal is headed off to another part of the white field, while I'll be staying here with my new companion Elder Nascimiento from Brasilia, Brazil. The other two elders I was living with, Elders Christensen and Naegle, have also bounced, so I'll now be living with Elder Brown from the USA and Elder Chagas, also from Brazil. I'm excited for this transfer!
Love you all, have a good week!
Elder
PS FUN FACT: Elder Naegle and I have been playing a joke on Elder Christensen for the past few weeks now, where we make up Fun Facts that are just plain not true, and we make him believe them. It's kinda sad that our form of entertainment has dropped this low, but we got him good, and he was flipping out when we finally told him that they were all fake. I'll include a video if I can.
