So first of all, we had to run a couple baptisms back a little. We are still excited for them, just a few little things they wanted to be good and clear on before they got baptized. And we are still excited and they are as well! So no worries!!!
One of the boys that will be baptized this next week, we talked with his mom this week to see if she had anyproblems and turns out she speaks better english than we do! She is a professional transaltor and she speaks great!! She has never left Chile, and surprisingly has learned it all here in the university!!! It was cool!!! We also talked with the father of Francho who I have been trying to convince for a LONG time now that his daughter is ready to be baptized! And so luckily we were blessed with a good lesson with him. Sadly he normally has a drinking problem, but this night he was sober. We talked about the gospel and how it has blessed him and how his beliefs in God have helped his Children! Then we showed how his son, Brian, has increased SO WELL in the gospel and we asked him if he would like that fort his daughter, and he said no.... again.... So we went back through it all and just said "look, she is ready! She will bring YOU blessings by living the gospel" and then he started thinking "maybe she is ready..." and in the end he said yes, it would be good for her!!! WOOO!!!!! So we are planning her baptism for 2 weeks from now!!! It was SO AWESOME!!!!
Just a random side note, today we played some ping pong in the church (and we play fierce, fyi jeje ) and we SPLIT THE BALL!!! thats right, it first cracked and then we, by just hitting it, split the ball. I felt pretty cool! the first time I have done that! jaja
Oh, and tuesday, Elder Rhoton was stinking nervous to call home and it was absolutely hilarious!!! It all went down well, it was just his first time and it was hilarious!!!
One more funny thing, or two. First, I was teaching and accidently said "he´s like.." and just went on and no one noticed.... except Elder Rhoton, he burst into laughter because I didnt even realize it! jaja Also, I was asked in the beginning of Church right before we started to give a talk. and I felt to speak about the divine light of Christ and putting a goal for this next year to look for the light MORE in this next year. So I extend the invitation to ALL of you reading this: look for that special guidance that we can only receive from our heavenly father! As we look for it, God may give us more guidance!! So read your scriptures, pray OFTEN and dont forget about the church!
Well, thats about all I got time for today!!! I love you all and I shall be the first to wish you all a "feliz año nuevo!!!" and just remember, I am going into the future, entering 2013 4 hours before you all! (most.. jaja ) Loves!!!
Les quiero Mucho!!!
Elder Marvin =D
