Hey guys! This week was interesting and a little difficult. A pretty crazy thing happened to us also. We went to visit Jesus Manuel (one of our investigators) and he wasnt there. His neighbor was outside and he had caught a scorpion! It was pretty rad because he took it out and he chopped up the stinger right in front of us it was wild. Then he was like hey dont freak out it cant hurt you and he threw it at me jajajajajaja. He later gave it to us a gift and then we regifted it to an investigator. A good thing that happened this week is that we were able to confirm Santiago (one of our converts)! He is so excited about going to church and learning. We had a baptism programmed this weekend but it fell through. The sister that was going to be baptized was pretty nervous and canceled the baptism. We talked with her after and we think that she just needs a little bit more time. We recgonize that everyone has their time of conversion and it is important to recognize that. One of the most amazing things that happened this week with our investigator Jesus Manuel. He is one of my favorite people ever. One day when we arrived to his house he had read until 1 Nefi 17 and is excited to be baptized. He went to church for the first time yesterday and he told us something very special. Elder Castañeda was a little stressed because a lot of people were talking in Sacrament Meeting. He was sure that Jesus Manuel hadnt had a good experience. We talked to him after how he felt after the meeting and he said "When I walked in, I felt a peace fill me." We were blown away. The spirit at church is real. He will be baptized on the 8th of December. He is fantastic. Evenwhile things can be different, when we put our trust in god without doubting, we can see miracles. These past couple days we have found some amazing new people to teach but I am thankful for all that he gives us. Thanks everyone for your prayers and support!
