I hope everyone had a great week this last week!
Don{t have too much time to write today but this week was definitely an interesting one haha. A tropical storm, I believe, hit Costa Rica this week and it was nuts. It flooded in a lot of places and did quite a bit of damage. Luckily, nothing happened here in Naranjo. We have too many hills and things here for it to flood. But... We still had to stay inside for more than half the day on thursday which sucked. It was raining super hard, but it rains hard every day during this season so it would have just been a normal day for us haha. Oh well. All is well.
During that time, we were on exchanges with the district leader and we were able to have baptismal interviews with 4 of our investigators! Now, if everything goes well, we should finish the month of October with 6 baptisms!! It´s so awesome and I´m so excited for Naranjo!
We also had the blessing and miracle of having another baptism this week! Emili from the Esquivel family got baptized on Saturday and it was a great day! She was going to get baptized on the 14th, but she was ready, so we moved it up to the 7th. Her and her whole family have come every sunday since we found them and it´s just been super good for them and the branch. Yorleni, the mom of the family, told us she was sick on sunday, but that she HAD to go to church because she can{t leave the things of God out of her life anymore! That was so great to hear and a real testimony builder to me.
Alonso also came to church this week, the little brother of Ricardo, so we should have another baptism this saturday to finish the transfer! And then we have 4 baptisms programmed for the 21st! We have transfers though the 16th, so we´ll see what happens!
I love and miss you all and hope everyone has a great week this week!
