"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son, with full purpose of heart, acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, witnessing unto the Father that you are willing to take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism--yea, by following your Lord and your Savior down into the water, according to his word, behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost; yea, then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost; and then can ye speak with the tongue of angels, and shout praises unto the Holy One of Israel." 2 Nephi 31:13

Week 83

So this week was an absolute mess! We only got to work a few days in our area because we were going crazy trying to get a new house! The good news is that we did find one! I had to talk to the guy and do a bunch of paperwork that I dont understand how everything works here cause the laws are different and had to come with him to the center to have his signature authorized and all these weird things. Everything happened to try and prohibit us from getting the house rented. The secretaries called after I had gone to a lan house to print out the contract and they called be back and said that the lawyer had sent a new one and so I had to find a new lan house in a new part of town but it was closed so I went to a member's but their printer had broken this same week so I went to another but they had just sold their's to buy a new one and hadn't bought it yet. So I went to the bishop but his was super slow and didnt want to print it but after about half an hour finally did and then I had to go find Samuel, the owner of the house and get him to go to the center with me. I went with him and we were in the car and he told me that he didnt have money to pay for the signature authentification so I´d have to pay and I agreed just cause I want a new house so bad, then we got there and it was just after 5:30 so they had closed!! Actually they were still closing but the lady was reallllly nice and still allowed us to do it real quick. But then the post office was closed and so I couldnt sent it to the secretarios that day to let President Genaro sign and finish the contract so I had to do it on Saturday. On saturday, the post office is open until 12:30 and we had a baptism scheduled for 10:30!

The baptism went perfect and the bishop gave us a ride into the center (there is no post office in or near our area of the city) and I get it sent at 12:25! There were other problems as well but im just going to finish with the fact that everything ended up alright and everything is done. Except that we are supposed to move today and we have no car to help us and the house might not have light or water yet..... but its a new house!!

hahah Like I said, it was a super crazy week. Rute was baptized on Saturday and then both she as well as Antonio our baptism from last week were confirmed in church!
