awesome bautismos!

yeah, so i wasn't going to send any pictures home of my bautismos but this last one was so intense!
okay, so a month ago I invited this couple to get married! They totally got married in Quilpue and me and Elder Barfuss invited Elder Esparza to come so we were all there!
it was so tight! i can't tell you how lucky I am to have this experience!



  So then we totally baptized La Lorena! and i totally threw her down in the water like a champ! it was so awesome! they're seriously my favorite people.
I was the one in the water and at the last second i was all like "hey Lorena what's your full name!" haha so Latins have 4 names! and they're always really hard. so yeah! it was hard but i said the whole thing like a boss.

So other story... i was doing interchanges with the new kid in my district and he doesn't speak much at all- so we go out and he loves starting contacts in the street. the thing is that he says.. hi how are you doing?.. and then just stops..... haha so I'm having to do the whole contact and everything. so this really scary punk kid comes out of nowhere and my comps all like.. hey should we talk to that guy?.. and I'm just like, no don't talk to him- he's mean and scary looking! (i can only get harassed by scary people so much in one day!) so anyways of course the kid starts talking to him, The new elder says.. hi how's it going?.. and that's seriously all he said, and the kid starts screaming at him! and says he doesn't understand him, so I'm laughing and the crazy kid looks at me and says ..what do YOU want?.. ha.. so I'm like.. hey whoa! we are missionaries and we have a message.. SO he's all like.. I served a mission.. and we were like.. oh that's cool.. (and i was thinking wow this guy's a really mean inactive member) but then he says to me.. but my gospel is alot different from yours.. but he used "tu" form and it sounded just really mean. So I say to him...well what church are you from?.. (i forgot what they're called in English) but i look at him and i'm all just like, ..it's really not that much different... and he starts like bearing his testimony of Jesus Christ and i was just like... yep, that's exactly what we believe.. then he shoots back at me... is it in your heart?... haha i didn't even hesitate, i just said "vivimos lo que creemos" and I saw everything just change in his face. He left and was just like "God bless you." and it was just weird. SO yeah- then i punched my companion and told him to listen to me next time!

SO I broke the record in my zone for teaching this week!!! and the thing is it was all me! ha! because my comp just follows whatever I do, so I need to repent because I've got too much pride :)

SO funny story- we knock on this door and this guy comes out and wants nothing to do with us. he's like I'm all about business, if you wanna talk about money I'm all in.  SO my comp was all like.. hey we're coming back here with the game monopoly and if I win we're teaching you about the gospel! haha

SO yeah i had a member bring me the hottest hot sauce straight out of Mexico, right.... it burned my tongue so much! and i only had water to wash it down, I'll show you the picture of it some time. It's in like this little jar of baby food that he brought back.

yeah so enjoy my pics!
os disfruteis
