December 16, 2013 Week 23

How is it going???  I am getting ready for this Christmas thing to happen, it is really distracting, and it is hard to get missionary work because everyone is so busy!!!  But i love it!   A lot happened this week, I guess we will just start of with all of the fun stuff.  

Well Jesus Has another follower this week.  The sisters had an investigator named Jenny Lopez and she decided to be baptized.  I am not sure how much I have talked about her but she is from Spain and she is about 40 years old, she came here (in October).  The sisters ran into her( spiritually),  and well now she is baptized and she said that she wanted me to to the baptism and for Elder Pugmire to do the Holy Ghost.  It was a super cool experience once we figured out how to say the prayer in Spanish ahaha.  One of the witnesses wasn't really sure on some things so we had to do it again and he kept on saying that it should be another way but it isn't!!! Luckily it all worked out and she was baptized and it was a very cool experience.  

The is kinda interesting though, is she is a hippie.  Me and Elder Pugmire went over with the sisters the day before, to teach her how we were going to do the baptism and talk about the Holy Ghost.  We made sure that their was another male there at the house and she said that there was.  So we get there and she is like come in...  lets just say that we had a lesson in her bedroom. hahah it was super awkward both me and elder pugmire felt it.  but hahah she started talking a lot about virgin Mary and how that she should be prayed to.  It was supper weird but we just thought to our self that she will forget that once she goes to church a couple of times. hahaha, well this last Sunday at church we gave her the Holy Ghost.  Me, Elder Pugmire and President Barbosa, and she started falling asleep!!!  during the prayer it was crazy hahaha I thought that Elder Pugmire was pushing her head but no, she was falling asleep.  She was super tired or something i don't know but during Sunday school she was out dead tired- i guess she had a night shift.  but at the end of the class she was asked to say the prayer- so she stands up and gives THE PRAYER TO THE FATHER the catholic prayer that is the prayer that Jesus said in the new testament.  It was super funny.  Those are the things that happen in Gospel principles though#mishprobs#spanishbranch#gospprinciple... 

O man but we had a good time this week the Oroxon family one of our less actives are really struggling right now.  They just moved into a really small house that is destroyed.  But we had a really good lesson with them and you can see their desire to change.  They are starting to see that they have no one else to turn to except for Jesus Christ.  It was a very cool experience to see.  We talked about enduring to the end in the doctrine of Christ!  They started Crying,  it was very cool,  I can see them in the coming time being strong members and sealed in the temple-  they were able to go to church this week for all three hours that is something that I haven't seen ever.  

There is a lot of work to do here with the members.  Most of them haven't been through the temple.  It is something that we are really starting to stress.  This isn't just the work of baptism it is the work of salvation!!!  Baptism is the first step.  Going to the temple and enduring to the end is the last!!!  It is just as important!  Well my mission father is leaving :(  he is going to Ardmore--I guessed that he was going there!!  I am getting a new Comp ELDER GUZMAN he is from guadalajera mexico!  He doesn't speak a lot of English is should be pretty fun hahaha it is going to be an interesting Christmas!!! Well I think that is all that is going on here, hear from you alll sooon!!!!!  
FELIS NAVIDAD 
ELDER FINDLSON ( FEE-LEE-SOON---that is how they say it)
