Doing some service cutting some wood...
ok so this week was a blast !!! we had a BAPTISM!!!!!!! i got in trouble Sunday :P , and we just had to much fun!!!
WE
GOT HER!!!!! romina gonzalez got baptized last Saturday after 3 weeks
of visits, 3 different fechas de bautizmal, and a whole lot of lessons!!
it was so great to finally get her into the water! and it was just
perfect, everyone was just happy . we went and got her ready an hour
before the baptism and played with her kids and their friends. then
started walking to the bishops house where we have baptisms which is
like 2 miles away and the girls didnt want to walk that far and the mom
didnt have money for a taxi. this is the kind of family that lives off
of eating basically fry bread cause flour and oils cheep. so my comp and i
run up really fast from behind, grab the girls and throw them on our
shoulders. you should have seen this moms face when i grabbed her CHUNKY
little girl and thru her on my shoulders... PRICELESS!!! lets just say
that it was gods that lifted that little chunk up cause theirs NO WAY i
could have done it on my own!!! hahah so we get to the bishops house
SWEATY, tired and just havin a blast!!! so we change out, sing a hymn,
and then its water time so i hop in the pool and ITS COLD !!!! like to
where i started to shiver so shes asks ¨hey elder Jackson how the
water?¨and i reply ¨¨oh its pretty hot ¨¨ so she steps in and just
starts giggling!!!! that was the first time id seen her giggle. so we
do the baptism and as she comes out of the water shes just all smiles
!!!! it was great id never seen her and her family so dang happy !!! it
was killer !!!! :D
so Sunday we confirm romina and the spirit is just THERE it was killer and
on top of that it was fast and testimony meeting so bonus !!!! only
problem was that this poor single mom was trying to keep her 3 wild kids
quit the and couldn't really listen. she was just flustered as heck her baby's screaming, her next oldest alma (age 9) is running around, and her
other daughter is having a full on conversation with her friend loud so
im like hey give me your baby i can go out and play with him which apparently is a big no no but hey as soon as i took the kid out the 2
girls sat down quiet 1 of them EVEN bore a testimony and shared a lil
scripture!!! but after the reunion my comp comes up to me and is like
broooooo you cant bail on sacrament meeting! and i just said hey man
whats more important me being perfectly obedient OR our new convert
feeling the spirit? idk maybe im wrong but it felt right and it was
worth the verbal i got from our straight arrow bishop hahah
and
well this week was a blast on night my comp and i just couldn't get to
sleep so we grabbed our beds and climbed up on the roof and just chilled
up there all night talkin and laughing reminiscing about our lives
before the mission. it was a needed lil adventure. and for PDay my zone
went and PLAYED FREAKIN PAINTBALL!!!!!!!!! it was so ghetto!!!! dad
would of had a heart attack hahahah this Argentine literally just gave
us guns and masks and said theres the course go crazy hahahahahah and i
dont wanna brag but my team KILLED!!!!!! seriously to much fun! i
