Week 39: Back to Villa Dulce for a Baptism!

Carolina and Franco's Baptism!

Hola!
This week we were able to set the date for Yarel's baptism! If everything goes well she should be baptized this Sunday! She had to ask her parents' permission to be baptized because she is under 18 and her dad said that it was fine with him as long as she kept her grades up. haha! She is a little nervous but really excited! She is so cute and cracks me up every time I talk to her. It's hilarious having lessons in her house because her whole family is exactly the same. Their minds are always all over the place and the grandma is always interrupting to say random things. It's pretty funny.

This week I did 2 intercambios and next week we have 2 also! It's crazy but its really fun to get to know the other hermanas better. Today for p day we had a little birthday party for hermana Brooks and played games! We played this game called Gincana which is a typical game here in Chile. Its a relay with stations and in the first station you have to bob for apples, in the next station you have to find an m&m in a pile of flour just using your mouth, then you have to thread a needle, and the last station is blow up a balloon and pop it. It's super random but it was fun. Then all the hermanas...we played a game of soccer in the cancha. It was fun.

OH MY GOSH this week our sink flooded and I had to fix it! I attached a video of the whole thing so hopefully it works. you'll see all the details in the video.

And last but not least, I was able to go to Carolina and Franco´s baptism in Villa Dulce!! It was last Saturday and it was so cute! They were so excited and it was a real blessing that I was able to go back and see it!

President upped the number of contacts we have to do from 10 to 20 each day (contacts are # of people we actually talk to) At first we thought it was impossible because there aren't that many people who want to talk to us but this whole week we were able to talk to at least 20 people every day! Now our problem is finding again the ones that give us their address or number. We meet people every day who seem so great at first, but we can never find them again because they are either never home, never answer their phones, or decide they don't want to talk to us again (normally its the third option) haha!... but its all good! I know I am on the winning team and that I can punch Satan in the face by talking to EVERYONE and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as I can!!

I love you guys and hope you have a great week!!

Love Hermana Snyder
