Another miracle filled week here in Guanacaste that ended with a baptism!
Yesterday we had a baptism of a man that we met 2 weeks ago. His name is Fernando and he was just a complete miracle, it was amazing. 2 weeks ago, Elder Waite and I were waiting outside for 2 people that were supposed to get baptized that day, but they never showed up. We were kind of down and we were just waiting outside, hoping that they would show up. That´s when my companion and I noticed a man just waiting outside the church fence... It was Fernando. We went over to go talk to him and we invited him inside for Sacrament meeting. After like 30 seconds of talking, he walked in and liked it! And 2 weeks later, he is a confirmed member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!!! He´s just a puro escogido and has been giving us referrals since the first day that we went to visit him.
The majority of the people that we´re teaching right now are referrals from Fernando! One of these referrals is a family of 7 (5 of which can get bapized) and 5 of them came to church yesterday. They showed up after sacrament meeting (had to work) but it was a huge deal to Elder Waite and I because it showed us that they truly want to get married and baptized. They live in a pretty poor part of our area which is far away from the chapel, but they showed up by themselves (that´s a big deal for us) with the little money that they have, to be able to come closer unto Christ! They´re preparing to get married and baptized the 19th of May :)
I´m loving Guanacaste and we´re just seeing tons of miracles and having a blast while doing it. The gospel is true and truly life-changing! I hope everyone has a great week this week!
