Also last Thursday we had leadership counsel and we did things a little bit differently. We went on a hike in these cool mountains. We got to the top and we could see the whole mission and president talked about a few things and we sang a song and then he blessed the mission. It was a really neat experience.
Last week we were visiting Franyer and he was doing good. One lesson we were teaching the plan of salvation and we were verifying that he understood everything and at the end of the lesson he said that he didn't understand anything that we had just taught him and he looked kind of weird like he had a glazed look on his face. He told us that he didn't feel like himself and then goes on to tell us how in Venezuela he had got caught up in some witch stuff that his girlfriend's aunt did on him and that spirits had followed him ever since Venezuela and he could always hear them at night in his room. So we blessed his little room and everything felt better after the lesson.
Then we took out a lesson for the next days. We came back the next lesson but he wasn't there and the thing is, he doesn't have a cell phone. We passed by on Sunday to see if he was there to take him to church but he still hadn't come back from the last time that we had visited his house. Later on the other elders in our district told us that they found him in their area and that he had gotten a new job but that he was working on Sundays :( So this week we are going to pass by him and talk with him and work with him to get a new job but everyone please pray really hard for Franyer Garcia because he really wants to get baptized a lot!
So the daughter of Victoria that I mentioned last time, Yesenia and her husband Angelo accepted a date for the 28 of march and have 3 kids and we went and visited them. They have 3 kids, Alessandra 21, Brian 11, and Valery 7. And Brian and Alessandra accepted to be baptized with their parents! Brian is a little beast because right when we gave him a Book of Mormon he started reading the chapters and had almost finished before we left. Alessandra mostly lives with her Grandma Victoria and helps her out but she is living with her right now while she is on vacation. We had all made plans for them to come to church on Sunday but they didn't come. It was a little frustrating but it will just help me work on my Christlike attribute of having patience. So everyone please pray for Yesenia, Angelo, Alessandra and Brian that they can all be baptized the 28 of March!
Victoria is doing great as well. She is on time to church and reading everything. Her baptism will be next Saturday. Finally the Family Castro came to church but only the mom Delsi with Denis and Danitsa. Cristofer didn't come because they said his clothes were wet and Julio the dad didn't come because at the last moment some family came over and he left with them, but right now we are focused on helping the kids get baptized and then hopefully it will give Julio a little bit more of some motivation.
We had the baptism of Erika yesterday and it went super great. Elder Garcia was able to come and it was right after church so a lot of members came. It was great. I am so very grateful that the Lord is blessing us with such great people to find. Well hope everyone's week goes great!
