I'll start off with last Saturday after I wrote you.
Saturday - We finished P-day and went to the baptism. It went pretty normal and the Bishop did the baptism. Junior gave his testimony afterwards and it was pretty powerful. He shared a bit of what his "Journey" to find the truth has been and then said "I guess I can say this now, hi, my name is Junior, and I'm a Mormon." It was a pretty cool moment. He told us after the baptism and confirmation the next day that while the ordinances were happening he didn't feel that special. He did tell us that while he was walking home after the baptism reflecting on the significance of it the spirit hit him very strongly and he just started to cry. The spirit talks to all of us in different ways and in moments when we don't expect as well. It's very cool to see the change that Junior has had and the determination that he has to move forward. He's left to do visits with a couple of different sets of missionaries and is having tons of cool spiritual experiences.
After Saturday the next big event that happened was that Maria José had her baptismal interview and passed. Her husband Johnson (who was inactive a couple of months ago) also passed an interview with the bishop so he was able to baptize her. We held the baptism today in the morning and everything went relatively well. They were going to a wedding reception afterwards so we waited for them to change clothes and went over there together. It was our P-Day so we went to give them support and take advantage of a free lunch. She'll be confirmed a member of the church tomorrow and we're super excited!
This week I'll be driving down to Vallenar with about half of the office. It will be a long trip because only two of us can drive here in the office. I'll let you guys know how it goes though!
Love you guys so much!
