ANYWAYS! What a week! You remember how We had Manuel lined up for baptism? Well, he got baptized alright. In 1994. HAHA. Seriously. He had forgotten that 18 years ago he got baptized. He remembered having the Elders teach him and that he had to stop drinking and stuff.. just not the baptism part it. It was so funny. The branch president told us that we should make sure that he wasn't baptized first and check in the computer. What do you know. It even had his nickname "Mané Bombazina" He conveniently was doing construction on the church the day we looked it up so we walked up to him, "Are you Mané Bombazina?" He grinned from ear to ear. "It says in the computer that you were baptized in 1994.." Mané-"So.. I guess I don't need to be baptized then right?" us-"Right. Hahha."
Other than that our other 2 baptisms fell. One because he went out of town earlier than expected and the other one's baby daughter is sick in the hospital. So that was a bummer. Satan is a HARD worker and I am SO serious about that.
But Isabel, FINALLY got baptized this week!! On Sunday between conference sessions!! :D She's the one holding the baby in the orange shirt. Isn't he ADORABLE!? Oh. That was definitely one of the happiest days of my life. She's fought so hard to be baptized. I gave the talk at her baptism and she started crying. I know that I don't know all of the trials that she is going through, but I do know that the Lord does. I'm so happy she FINALLY made it.:)
This past week everyone in our house has been sick and 2 sisters on the other half of the island. (Another proof Satan is trying to stop the work.) The other 2 sisters stayed in the house for 2 days- MISERABLE. We made them hot chocolate and cheese grits. (hahaha can you guess which one I made?) But Sister Robinson had alot of energy when she was sick so we were still able to work. And I didn't have energy by the time it got around to me, but it finally got me Friday and by that time it was Interviews, Baptisms, and General Conference weekend- and you really can't stay down for any of that. But today I'm feeling tons better. I still have a stuffy nose and cough, but it is about gone. :)
Our numbers weren't good at all this week and we have Zone Conference tomorrow so we'll see how that all pans out. Also... I'm supposed to have 42 scriptures memorized by tomorrow... We'll see what happens. haha. Our awesome branch mission leader is also leaving for his mission in Brazil soon. Sad!
I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY loving my companion Sister Robinson. Transfers are this weekend, we should stay together.. but I guess you never know! We'll get to see who leaves and who stays in our house. They are going to open up Brava this transfer, but I think it's only for Elders.
Anyways, I think that is it.
I love you all!
Love, Sister Buhler
