After writing last week we had the baptism of Hermana Teresa. Everything went awesome. A lot of her family showed up and she was just really happy the whole time. When she got in, the water was cold, but she said "Dioscito va a usar su dedo para calentar el agua" and she said that when she started walking the water heated up.The next day all of her family came again for her confirmation and they want to learn more about the church, so we sent their addresses to the missionaries where they live.
On Monday we had the staff meeting and Sister Barron wasn't holding back, so we got some good planches, but she was going all out on elder Salerno. She said "I'm going to planch you so hard you'll throw up the cookies you ate for breakfast." I was just trying not to burst out laughing the whole time until they said we basically can't do anything on p-day except wash our clothes, buy food and write. So, if you want to know how my day has been just read those three things that we are allowed to do, but on repeat.
Later on Monday night we had to run to Walmart to help the other secretaries. As we were leaving the offices, i buckled on my fanny pack and felt the impression to take a Book of Mormon with me. So we got to Walmart and were on our way back to the offices when Elder Neff and i felt the impression to contact a girl we walked past. We went back to talk to her and found out that she had almost been baptized before, but wasn't old enough and her parents wouldn't let her. So, we gave her the Book of Mormon and she said that she would read and that we could visit her Friday. It was a nice example of how following promptings always pays off. Fast-forward to Friday and we went to the direction she gave us and the people said she didn't live there and when we tried calling the number she gave us no one picked up. So, a blessing followed by a quick humbling experience.
On Tuesday I finally went to a doctor to get my ankle checked out. He gave me two shots and some medicine to help the swelling go down and the ligament grow back. I'm going back on Monday and he is going to check the x-ray that i got and give me some shoe inserts.
We had zone conference this week and i learned some good stuff. I have been meditating on how/what i can do to meditate better and our mission president gave us some really good tips. He said that we should be meditating for at least 15 minutes every day and if we do that our baptisms will literally double. Now i just have to find some time to meditate every day.
Thursday afternoon a guy tried to steal some stuff from the offices. He came in with a broom and a mop saying that he was here to clean and my comp and i just kind of looked at him like "who the heck are you." We told him we were leaving soon so he said he was going to clean the stairs. We started watching him on the cameras and he found an open closet and took out a mop bucket and two dust pans and started walking toward the front gate. We ran out to stop him and he said that he was going out to clean the street. We made him put the stuff back and he left pretty fast after that. Later we realized that this same guy has passed by a couple of different times always asking for food. I gave him my pop-tarts like a month ago and now he is trying to steal from us.
We are seeing some progress in a person that we are teaching. After having a quick 10 minute lesson with her last week she came to church on Sunday. We went to see her again yesterday and she accepted a baptism date and is going to come to church tomorrow too. We also have the baptism of Jesus Manual (teresa's grandson, claudia's son) today at 6, so the work is still continuing.
Quote of the week: "Quiere que lo planche" (do you want me to planch you) Hermana Barron to Elder Salerno when he tried to fight the new chess ban.
