This week has been pretty good. We did in fact have
the baptism on Saturday and it was really cool to be able to baptize the young
woman. I was a little bit nervous to mess the prayer up or pronounce
something wrong but it was fine. The next day, Sunday, was voting day in this
country which can be a little crazy so we only had church for one hour.
Monday we had some memorable events. First, when we went to look for our
investigator in an apartment we got locked in the building. The
investigator wasn’t there and no one else was either. In the end we were locked
in the stairwell for about 30 minutes, it was a little frustrating. Then
later that day the streets were getting a little crazy due to voting the day
before, so the police shot a tear gas or pepper spray bomb thing into the
intersection next to a house we were at. We had to leave the house to get out
of the area. It didn’t hurt too bad but it definitely burned my eyes and the
inside of my nose a lot! The effects went away pretty fast too but that
was a good first time experience with tear gas. On a positive note we do
have an investigator named Winifred who came to the baptism and church on
Sunday. She is progressing well and it has been really cool to work with
her. Her mother is also progressing a lot. We are working hard and
having fun too, tonight we will be having a campfire by the side of our house
and making s’mores. Miss you all a lot!
