Get Your Guay On: City of Baptisms-Cuenca Week Thirty Five

Another week here in the beautiful city of Cuenca.

Rain

First let me start of this letter with saying that is rains a lot right now during this time of the year. It is either pouring rain or super humid. One of the two. The bad part is normally i dont carry around my rain coat because when we leave in the morning it is clear but at like 3 it always rains. You would think that i would have learned by now but I still dont. However i did learn my lesson because practically this whole week i had a cold and am just now getting over it.

BAPTI$M

This week we had a baptism and let me tell you this man is golden. He has been waiting for a long time for this opportunity and let me say I am privledged to be one of the missionaries that got to baptize him. His testimony was especially cool. He said that although he lost something important to him, he said that he saw the lords hand guiding him so that he could be a part of something a lot better. He told us that he lost something but gained something even better. What more could you ask from an investigador.

Elder Shanklin, Elder Hunt, Ward Mission Leader, and their investigator and son.

Worlds Best Baptizer

The sisters from our ward had a baptism and there 18 year old investigador asked me to baptize her. I accepted and so it was done. After the baptism tho i was told that i baptized extremely hard but effectively. Not gonna lie I didn't even mean or try to do that. The investigador thought it was super funny and we had a good joke about it after. Ever since then in the ward I have been getting the rep as the best baptizer ever. Not really but that would be sweet.

This week was filled with small blessings, new opportunities, and sweet views of cuenca. Hopefully things play out with a couple of our investigadors so that they can get baptized and everything goes well with them. Thanks for all the support. Also, your welcome for the baptism pictures. We thought we would go with the matching ties again. We even gave one to the mission leader so he wasnt left out. Until next week
