Week 52 in Uruguay: "Karina and Julieta went Swimming"

“Karina and Julieta went swimming”

Tuesday - Wednesday
Tuesday, we talked to Karina. She wanted nothing at first with what we had to teach her, like nothing, but with Christ nothing is impossible! We had one of the most spiritual charlas with her. I opened the Book of Mormon to a random page, wrote her question down on it and then closed it. I said on that page you’ll find your answer! That night we got a call from her crying saying she received her answer. The spirit is so cool! Also that night, I met Florencia “Flopi” the Laurito‘s daughter lol. She has been living in Provo for a year and came home early to surprise her mom for a few weeks. Wednesday, we worked with Joaquin, he wanted to see what it would be like to be a missionary for the day. Haha it was super fun! We also met a satan worshiper. It was super dark and just creepy! That story with him is a good story to tell in person lol. After, we helped Flopi scare her mom! It was so fun to surprise them.

Thursday - Friday
Thursday, we made pizookies. They were so so good. I think I ate a little too much. We also taught Karina and confirmed her baptism. It was a really cool day. Friday, we went to this reference and they ended up being inactive members haha. It was so funny, they knew everything. They were super super sweet with us. They made us hot chocolate and apple cake. Super good! The older grandma had 13 cats. It was insane! They were everywhere. After we taught and contacted them, we went to Karina’s house for her baptism interview. They both passed!!! Such a cool day.

Saturday - Sunday
Today was such an amazing day! We baptized Karina and her daughter Julieta. The spirit was amazing and Julieta bore her testimony and everyone was crying. After the baptism, we made cookie dough. On Sunday, we met two drunk people that were completely wasted. It was the funniest thing ever to talk to them. We confirmed Karina and Julieta. Later, we went and taught Adriana and Fabiana. We will be baptizing Adriana this week or next!! Fabiana must have been having a bad day because she went off for like 45 minutes, Haha. The mission is the best place to develop patience! After, we taught Lucia. She is getting dunked this week! Pray for her that everything goes well. She is super excited. She changed her whole life around. It’s the best thing to be able to rely on the Lord for help. Remember if we endure our trials well, we will be blessed on high. DyC 121:7–8
