My companion and I had a baptism yesterday. A lady named Olinda. She is pretty cool. She has had a lot of emotional suffering in her life, with bad husband and losing two children. So the gospel has really helped her. She still kind of dwells on the past a little too much but we are helping her to do that. We had some trouble with her in the past. She didn´t want to get baptized. But we had some revelation given to us and we shared this really good conference talk with her and explained some things that the Lord wanted us to tell her. Afterwards, she gladly accepted the invitation to get baptized. And so we were able to baptize her this last sunday. It was great. It was a really cool experience to receive information like that specifically for her and to see the effects those things had on her. Actually being an instrument in the Lord´s hands to help another to make that covenant........it was awesome. Anyways, so things are good here. Not to much more to talk about really. Accept that everyone is preparing for carnaval. Which is bad. Starting to see more and more bad things that we don´t want to see. Anyways, Thats pretty much it for this week, Hoping to baptize again next week. We have some really great investigators that we are working with. And maybe we´ll have two people getting baptized next week. I pray that we will. Until next week.....
