Baptism!!!

This week we had a baptism and so nothing else really matters!! on Saturday we were able to baptize Jorge. He is our former investigator who is paralyzed. and so the baptism was kind of crazy! so we got to the church at 8 so that we could fill the font up and then got everything ready and got dressed. Jorge got there at a little after 10 and told us he forgot to call the bus and so he had to find a ride and forgot him wrap for his stomach. he has some medical stuff on his waist that couldn't get wet. so we had to wait for someone to bring that. and so when they brought that we got started. and so we had the prayer and hymn and the first talk and then took him back to get ready. it took 30 minutes to get him ready. in the process he ripped a toe nail off and the wrap wasn't on as good as we wanted it but he said it was fine. and this whole time i'm trying not to freak out because i'm being told what to do in Spanish. I can barely introduce myself in Spanish and so i had no clue what they were saying but we got it. and so we got him into the water and it took three times to baptize him! and so we were finally able to get him under the water and then we took him out. and the wrap that we wrapped around him totally came off. but where it needed to be dry was completely dry. Heavenly father was diffidently helping us out. and then we got him dressed and went out and finished. it was about two hours in all which was so long but it was so good to get him baptized. 

The next day at church I spoke. in Spanish. and it was hard. I don't think my eyes came off the paper once. haha. my Spanish is not good enough yet to just talk. which sucked but i got the talk done. My talk was on how can we develop Christlike love. and so i talked about service and service in my life. but the ultimate sacrifice of love is the atonement. the love that Jesus Christ had for us diffidently helped him be able to go through that. and so although we will never go through something like the atonement, we can have love for others like he did and help them use the atonement and come unto Christ. the atonement is so powerful and even as a missionaries, we use it everyday! you are never to far away for the atonement. I love that. 

That's all that I have this week. literally nothing else matters because Jorge was baptized. I have never felt joy like that. thank you everyone for everything. Los amo!
