When we got back we unfortunately had to get a lot more work done, helping organizing goals and plans for the whole stake for the Christmas season, but luckily we got it all worked out in the end. Unfortunately, we didn´t have as much time as we wanted to teach our principal investigator, Aydeé. But fortunately, she was super prepared and when we taught her the word of wisdom last week she informed us that she had already read about it on her own and had stopped drinking coffee two weeks ago!
All this cultivated to this past Saturday the day before her planned baptism, when she almost broke down in tears telling us how her family had rejected her decision and nobody was going to be able to come to her baptism. However, she told us the Lord wanted her to get baptized this day specifically, so she went ahead with the decision anyway. And shortly and hour later she called and told us her mom and her boyfriend had changed their minds and were going to be able to come!
In the end it was the most packed baptismal service I´ve ever been in, overall it was a week packed full of blessings indeed! Anyways, thanks for all your love and prayers, they do indeed get work done!
Love you all!
