James' Baptism

Hey Guys!

 

Another week here in Tarragona! The bisggest news was obviously James´ Baptism! The Baptism was great with an interesting twist at the end! haha Details to come... but anyway! It was super awesome! We were able to have the whole baptisms in English with the Elders translating into Spanish. it was pretty cool! A ton of members showed up as well as a ton of investigators! Lots we werent even expecting to be there. We truly were blessed! James Loved the baptism and said he felt super good. He came out of the water and gave me a huge hug! it was awesome! I asked him how he felt and he said, "Cold man! Cold!" haha yeah... The water heater in our church doesnt work... So anyway, I guess a couple days before, James got bitten or stung by a bug, and after the baptism it started to bleed really bad. It started to bleed so bad that the Bishop and our Ward Mission Leader had to take him to the urgent care. We were kind of scared that he wasnt going to be at his confirmation. Thankfully, he showed and all went well. He brought some friends to church! In a couple of weeks, maybe we will be able to start and English Speaking Branch here in Tarragona! haha

 

So this week we also taught Milady, Francisco and Fifi, Milady is progressing really well and I am highly possitive that she will be baptized on the 9th! Fifi will also get baptized, we are just trying to get Francisco to get baptized with her. He is progessing really well, just very slowly. Last time we had a visit with him, he said he loved the Plan of Salvation and also that he thinks he will get baptized someday, he just needs to know FOR SURE this is the path he needs! Luckily he is also doing his part, he is reading in the Book of Mormon and praying everyday. I have no doubt in my mind he will get his answer from the Holy Ghost! It always comes when we do our part!

 

President also came to Tarragona this week and gave a talk in Sacrament meeting. He talked on the importance on having Family Home Evening and inviting over the Elders. It is amazing how fast your schedule goes from, visiting with maybe 1 or 2 families during the week to visiting with almost every family in the ward! ha ha The power the President has! We are hoping to use this opportunity to gain some trust with the members and maybe recieve some references as well! But hey, at least I klnow I will be eating well this week! haha President really is the man!

 

Well thats really all I got for this week. Transfers are this next week, but I am pretty sure I will stay here in Tarragona to finish trainning Elder Garcia, but you never know, There can always be some suprises! I will be sure to keep you guys updated! I love you guys a ton! Keep up the good work at home! Love you all!
