This week we did everything that we could so that Tommy could have his baptism. We taught him everything he needed to know, and it as tons of fun! We had to teach him in a very special way. When they say "teach people not lessons, its true! For tommy, we have to be crazy and funny and then test him on everything! He likes to pull the shy guy "i dont know" but he does. jaja It was fun! And so wednesday we had his interview and he passed! WOO HOO!!! and we had him planned for a sunday baptism so that more members could be there.
Saturday we got it all ready and we cleaned the pila and we even made sure he had clothes that would work! and then on Sunday by miracle, they got there early and there was just no problems with the whole baptism! Not a single one! Can you believe that? What a blessing!!! jaja And the spirit was way strong and his mom shared her testimony and it was just absolutely perfect!!! I loved it!! So it was a good way to have my last sunday there in La Ligua.
So as you can say, we got called on saturday and our zone leaders said that I am going and Elder Rhoton is staying. As for some miracles that we were able to see, saturday we shared with Brian, the young man who got baptized almost a year ago and helps us out A TON!!! and his dad come in. His dad is going through a lot of trials, but he says he wants the peace. SO we had to leave, but we felt very strongly to invite him to church. He said he didnt have the energy to do that ,but if he felt different in the morning he would come. Then Brian got to church early the next day, but he was alone. So he sat with us after he blessed the sacrament and all of a sudden, I look at the door, and Jorge, his dad came in! He made it all the way to the church alone!!! We were so excited! When Elder Rhoton told Brian that his dad was there, Brian said "Elder, I dont believe you." Elder Rhoton insisted that he looked and then was just very very happy. It was an awesome moment and Jorge later said he felt very good in there for his first time. WAY AWESOME!!!
So last night we also got a phone call about 3 minutes before "bed time" and it was the assistents to the president. They asked to speak with Elder Rhoton and he went to another room, but he had it in speakerphone. so I listened from my bed as Elder Ascanio said that Presidente Kähnlein wanted him to be a trainer this next change. and excited he accepted and then was somewhat calm. Then as we walked over to the bedroom I gave him a good congrats "WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!"""" jaja it was awesome! I was so excited for Elder Rhoton.
Then we said a prayer to go to bed, and I was saying my personal prayer, when the phone rang again. and again, the assistents. This time they wanted to talk to me, so Elder Rhoton passed me the phone and Elder Ascanio gave me the "you know why I am calling, right?" jaja I didnt know! So I said "surprise me!" jaja and he said Presidente also would like you to train this change that comes, do you accept?" and I asked "can I pray about it?" In response he said "YOU ACCEPT!!!!!" jajaja So it looks like my time has come to do a little new missionary training. Its about time! ;) jk I am WAY excited though! and I cant wait to help whoever it may be! Althouh, it made me wonder, because they want to put 2 more missionaries in La Ligua, so by saying that I was "leaving" la ligua, did they mean leaving that pension and going to the other one? Or am I going to open a new area with a new missionary? That I do not know, and sadly you will all have to wait until next time to read about that one!
So thats my exciting-ness for the week! I am loving the mission! I love this area so I REALLY hope I am just going to the other house!!! jaja But we will see! I am so grateful for the spirit that truly does help us to know when and where and what to say to our bretheren who are looking for the truth! I hope that everyone can take the time to try and receive some guidance from the spirit, and if you havent received it yet, I invite you to ask the missionaries about it.

Les quiero MUCHÍSIMO!! Chao
