So not much happened this week
except that the baptism of Rossany, Jose, and Oscar got put back a week because
our ward leaders said that we needed to have a cake at the baptism. His point
was that a baptism is a very special event that should be remembered forever.
So apparently the covenant of baptism and the Spirit you felt isn't enough to
remember the moment, but just bring a cake and now it's a beautiful
spiritual experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. That was really
the point of the Elders Quorum president and everyone just agreed with it.
Another reason he had was that the parents don't know the parents of the kids
that were going to be baptized yet. This was a good point but we had already
planned with the young women president to pass by their house after that exact
meeting we were having Wednesday night. He wanted us to postpone the baptism a
week so we talk to the parents even though we only needed like 15 minutes to do
it. It sounded to me like they were just pulling reasons out of nowhere to
postpone salvation. So for that reason it was easily the worst ward leadership
meeting I have yet had.
Also it was my comp's b-day this
week and that was pretty bad. Literally none of our lessons where there.
Tragic, but other than that the week was pretty good. We changed their baptism
date to this Saturday. But 2 of our investigators were out of town this week so
I think that 2 baptisms will have to be changed to next week. Which leaves us
with hopefully 4 baptisms this week. And really other than that, and teaching
the good word, not much happened. So, later.
