Hey everyone how are things going? This week we had quite a bit going on. The weather really heated up for us this week. We didn’t need to use our coats at all; Just shirts and at night our suit jackets.On Tuesday night, we had a soccer activity in the church. We had invited many people. We had a group of people who lived near the church that wanted to play so we invited them. They ended up coming and we had enough people to play 5 on 5. They all played together and were good players. My team was our bishop, both us two (the gringos), a guy who was almost a minus for us, and his cousin who was pretty good. Our three other players were all well over 35 years old while all of their team had like 22 years for each player. Well one of the “gangstas” asked me to teach him a bad word in English to say. I told him that there was one but you can only use it when you get frustrated or annoyed…BAPTIZE ME! Haha sure enough, a few minutes later, he missed a shot and shouted BAPTIZE ME! I was laughing pretty hard. He had no idea what he was saying. Well, in the end, we ended up winning. I thought we were going to get blown out of the water.
On Friday night, Caterin passed her baptismal interview! She is going to be getting baptized this Saturday at 11:00 in the morning. I guess Chile is playing Venezuela (in a soccer) later. Everyone was asking us…you know that Chile is playing that day right? I would just ask them…what is more important? Relax…we are doing it in the morning and the game is at night.
So we found a few cool people to teach this week. We got into this one house when we didn’t even say a thing. She just invited us in. Turns out that her husband, (who looks EXACTLY like the guy on Count of Monte Cristo who goes against his friend) is a member of the church but very very inactive. His wife is very very catholic. We taught them the first lesson, The Restoration. We have another appointment with them this weekend. Well that’s what is going on with me this week. We have another soccer activity tomorrow and we have a lot of appointments lined up this week with future investigators. Hopefully things go well with each of them. Well take care everyone and talk to you next week! Chaíto, Elder Nelson
