I have baptisms to report! Erica and Olimpia were baptized! If you are wondering why some of the suits don't have zippers in the front.. It's bc I forgot to tell Erica and Olimpia that the zipper goes in the front. But I didn't want to make them feel dumb after they had already changed! So... Yeah. Just don't tell them. haha.
Olimpia is a baptism of the Elders. She's been waiting quite some time to be baptized. She was pregnant and the Doctor told her she couldn't get baptized until after she had the baby. hahah. So HOORAY for baby Jaqueline!! :)
The first day I got here and we were getting to know our area a lady named Lucia stopped us in the street and said, "I want my children o be baptized in your church. When can you stop by?" Lucia is the aunt of Erica. (Erica was basically raised by her) This upcoming Saturday we will have the baptism of Lucia's daughter, Rosa! :) Elder is Lucia's oldest son. He baptized Erica. :) Boy, I sure do LOVE baptisms!! :)
So! I HAVE to tell you about one of my favorite investigators, Kevin! He's amazing! He's 13 years old. He showed up at church last week and wanted to talk to the missionaries. So we set up an appointment and he will be baptized this Saturday too! Our leaders don't want us to baptize anyone that is under 14 years of age without a responsible older person in the family to take them to church. So I was wondering how we were going to get him baptized with his upcoming baptism date. But let me just tell you: The Lord ALWAYS provides. The very next day after I had been a bit worried, we talk to his older sister, and she was baptized! She's just less active! And you know what?! Kevin brought her to church yesterday!! I'm telling you. He's going to be a stake president or something one day. Do you know what he said our first lesson with him?
Us- Will you pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true?
Kevin- It's true.
Us-....uh... Will you follow Christ's example and be baptized?
Kevin- Yes.
Us- The 14th of July?
Kevin- Yes.
So Basically Kevin is awesome. Definitely prepared by the Lord.
Other than that... A member from the other branch in our city gave me the nickname Sister Chãzuda. It's creole. But long story short, I think it means Sister Smart Aleck. I don't think it'll stick though. hahah.
Also, I have included a picture of me with 2 of our investigators that went on a month vacation to America before we could baptize them. But they'll be back. :) Fatima and Marcelino. So now everyone knows how I look on a normal day to day basis. hahaha.
Oh and my companion woke me up at 2 in the morning last night when she flipped on the lights and told me to kill a bug. I have so much patience now. Let me tell you.. hahaha. I didn't even get mad at her. I looked at her, at the bug, watched it go under my bed and told her to go back to sleep. And I rolled over. hahaha. I ended up going on a search and killing it for her. They say missions change people. I guess they are right. hahaha.
Anyways, that's all!
Love
Sister Buhler
