Week 31: Things are looking sweet in Villa Dulce!

Marcela and her whole family came to visit me in Villa Dulce! They are the sweetest!

Hola Familia!!

We are going to have a baptism this week!! So remember the family that just rolled into sacrament meeting last week? They came because the daughter wanted to bless her baby. Well, the family doesn't have much interest in the church but we started teaching their son, Abraham, last week. He said as soon as he walked into the church he knew it was the house of the Lord. He accepted to be baptized in the first lesson and was actually disappointed when he found out he had to wait a WHOLE 2 WEEKS  to be baptized haha. He is really sweet and so excited for his baptism! 

Joel also has a baptism date for this Saturday, but doesn't feel completely ready. He said he has to fix some things in his life before but won't tell us what he needs to fix. It's a little hard to help him because we don't know how. he was able to give up alcohol and coffee so I know he really wants to be baptized. So even though it's not this week I know it will be soon! 

We found another family where the mom is inactive but her daughters are really interested in the church and they came to church yesterday! The mom for the first time in like 20 years and her daughter Daniela who is 22! Daniela is the cutest! She is so friendly and outgoing and I just want to be her best friend. haha. The downside is that in relief society there was a heated argument about feminism between 2 sisters. It was super super uncomfortable and my companion and I just wanted to leave with Daniela and her mom before any real damage was done. We are still a little worried that they aren't gonna want to come back to church after that scene. 

ALSO, MARCELA AND HER WHOLE FAMILY CAME TO THE WARD IN VILLA DULCE TO VISIT ME YESTERDAY! IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER AND MARCELA BROUGHT EMPANADAS FOR ME AND HERMANA DEL VALLE! 

But we have been working hard and finally seeing the fruits of our labors! I love the ward! and I love this sector! Some days are really hard but its all worth it! 

Con mucho amor!!

These pictures are of us with the Mardones family. They are probably one of my favorite families in Chile. Yesterday we had lunch with them and we laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. They went to a Daddy Yankee concert last night (Parker should know who DaddyYankee is) and so one of the pics is of us with Daddy Yankee masks. haha! They are the best!
