Cristhian´s miracle baptism

So family. The biggest evidence in my life that God loves me is the fact that we could be a part of Cristhians baptism this week. It was the hugest miracle. So we had planned the baptism for monday but then we couldnt do it so then we planned it for tuesday and the elders were soooo unhelpful but after Hermana Sanchez´s assertive attitude they agreed to help Cristhian get baptized on Tuesday night. The miracles came in as the following:

First. We got our tickets to go back to pedro juan on the bus but they were for the 11pm bus instead of the 10pm bus which NEVER HAPPENS. So we had an extra hour to be out.

Second. We found our way to San Lorenzo having never been there, and we got there in 45 minutes when they told us it was going to be an hour and a half.

Second and a half: When the elders finally got the keys to open the font door, the font was filled with clean water. They havent had a baptism in their ward for more than six months. We still have no idea how it was possible. It would have taken five hours to fill the font if it was empty.

Third. Cristhian was so excited to get baptized and he invited his dad and his brother to see the baptism.

Fourth. They came.

Fifth. The bishop came, his wife, some friends, and one of my old friends from the mission! It was so cool to catch up with him!!!

Fifth and a half: Cristhian gave an incredible testimony after his baptism AND he got confirmed and so we got to see the confirmation also!!!!

Sixth. Cristhians dad was on the same bus to go back to pedro juan so they drove us full speed ahead to get to the terminal and we got there right before the bus left.

EN FIN: It was all completely organized by the hand of God. He knew this was the only time that this was possible. If Hermana Sanchez hadnt gotten that dental instrument broken in her mouth, we wouldnt have been in asuncion, and now that Cristhian moved theres no way that he could have ever gotten baptized in pedro juan, and there was ZERO chance that hna sanchez and I could have participated. I felt like... God loves us so much.

The rest of the week was really long. Our major investigators moved or closed the door to missionaries this week, so its been a lot of days out on the streets knocking doors but weve found some cool people so I hope that they progress. We have another baptism planned for this saturday, a girl named Mirlen whos fourteen and really really needs the church in her life. Shes cool but she has learning disabilities so our lessons are getting a little creative haha.

IM SO EXCITED TO COME HOME AND IM SO EXCITED IM GOING TO THE AIRPORT IN SAO PAULO WOOHOOO BRAZILLL

Im trying so hard to perseverar but its getting really hard. Also we have a worldwide devotional this wednesday and I think they are going to change all the mission rules hahahah but whatever Im peacing out.

hasta el fin
Hermana Scott
