hola hola hola!!
Another week has come and gone and I am still loving it here! There is lots and lots of walking, but it has been a very successful week with lots of contacting and lessons! We had a very successful zone activity and another baptism so I am just really feeling the Lord's hand in the work.
On Friday we had our zone activity and we went to a super busy street next to a farmer's market so we could contact more people. We had a banner with CREO en CRISTO written on it and anybody that walked passed could get their hand painted to paint their handprint on the banner if they believe in Jesus Christ. We had like over 200 people come and it was super awesome and fun!!
Olga is definitely a chosen one! She has a 16 year old daughter who has been a convert for 4 years and just started bringing her mom to church. We actually got the reference from another member in the ward and we immediately went to go visit her and she wanted to be baptized. Her baptism was so beauthiful, but everything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong, but she was baptized! We had to track down someone with keys to the chapel early in the morning to fill the font. We couldn't get the baptismal font door open because those keys were with another set of keys. The font was already full when we opened it, but with cold water and it would have taken longer to empty it completely then fill it with warm water. Then we just emptied it half way and started filling it up with warm water, but the hot water wasn`t working so we started boiling water in big pots to dump into the font. Finally right after the opening of the baptism, we went to go to the font and someone had closed the door to the font and the Bishop had left with keys so we had to wait to get the keys back. In the end it all worked out and she was baptized!
It has been a fantastic week all in all and I can't imagine being anywhere else in the world! I love you all and I'm so grateful for all the love and support you have for me!
Love,
Hermana Pettijohn
