What a miracle, this will be my fourth transfer in Chincha!! Finally I'm not jumping around haha, as much as I loved dipping in and out of 3 areas I'm glad to settle in and get to work on my baptismal goal. This will be my 2nd transfer with Elder Correa.
We are a zone about #IluminaElMundo!!! We are always focused on looking for ways to #IluminarChincha haha. We had a little poster made that our beloved member friend Juan Jesus made that looks almost identical to the contact card, and we are using it to have them post a photo with us on their social media and we are planning to find all the people that like their post. We are doing FHE nights a ton this month!
We ended up having a super successful week, we have 6 lined up for baptism, and 7 on deck haha. We found Edita and Sergio and their kids again, they didn't want to get married a while ago, but they wanted us to come over again so that they could try again. Their change of heart seems sincere, they always come to church, they just have that one problem that keeps them from progressing. They are actually taking action now with their marriage! We are super happy with that! Another investigator we have is Luciano, he has been coming to church forever and to tell the truth I had no idea he hadn't been baptized, but now we are going to get him in the font, hopefully with his parents. He basically lives with his aunt and uncle, and we hope to get the parents married and baptized as well. They are super good. Then we have Maria Soto with a baptismal date. With her, God kind of hit me for judging her I think haha. She is an Israelite, they need to have a ton of bible knowledge before like entering the church or something. The first lesson with her was super funny, she kept asking us random questions about the bible. Like "the difference between the son of man, and the Son of Man," "sabbath day on Saturday" and many more contentious questions. But the second lesson she told how she is schizophrenic and just wants to find the truth. She committed herself to come to church, and came, and prayed to know. She is coming to know the answers to her prayers now and accepted a baptismal date. What a tender mercy.
We are going to be baptizing like crazy and hope that the home ward will keep baptizing!! I love the words of Russel M Ballard, "If you think baptism, you will baptize!" I'll be sending some referrals for the missionaries to work with in our ward haha.
Thanks for reading my little ramble, I'll be heading off to the battle! I love you guys! I have all the information about the Skype call, I'll call you guys with the final say this week or the next. For now just have the accounts ready, I think I have the information in my other planner but just in case you can send it again.
Con mucho amor,
Elder Olsen
