oh you wanted a spiritual message or something right.... um.... what could i say...
umm a cool experience... well i was working in the capital, and well a cultural difference is here no one gets married at all, one for culture and the other is its expensive so not many people are willing to try and make the sacrifice to save up many, because most people have told me , ¨its not like there we cant save up money there's no such thing like that, you work that day and then you use that money the same day to feed your family¨¨ and an other factor is that most people are to afraid to get commented to someone there afraid the other will leave so there like its cheaper if he deiced to leave me, because most men here do have at least 3 or 4 women the have children with. so its a SUPER hard challenge to get people married, but i had a 2 families in Los Alcorrizos and at first the husband wanted to get married something super rare, but the wife wasn't in to it, and in the other family the Wife was dead set on getting married, but the husband, not really at all . so we jut kept sharing with them and eventually we couldn't figure out what to do wit either family... because the other was just too stubborn... so we started carefully planning for them every night and well prayed hard about it too. and finally we felt we just had to talk super hard to both of the families. so we shared a message with both that well was probably super hard o hear, but it WORKED! partly, we got the both of other sides to admit they loved the other and that they'll try to get married, but the big problem was the $ so we told them you just have to pray and really work hard and rely on the lord and it'll all work out. so yea. we kept working and slowly they both found more small places where they could save a little here a little there. we were getting super close to the date we set, and miraculously they were both getting super close to the $ they needed. unfortunately i got transferred out but just last week i Received a letter from the families and !! they´re was a photo with 9 AMAZING people In WHITE! all getting baptised, after working hard with them for 4 months they got baptised! it was super cool to see how through prayer and hard work while trusting in God something that seemed impossible to them like saving up that money. could be over come. it was super cool and dang ill admit i was SUPER happy when i saw that photo and read about how much they were loving church and super happy that we stuck with them. its the same with what ever problem we have in life, just trust in God and work hard and pray harder and sooner then you know it you'll be Having a blast a gain.
but yea that's my story there probably better but i cant think of it right now id have to have more time to think.
but yea my two families got baptised!!!!!! and maria!!!!! all the people i was working with in los alcs GOT baptised!!!!! I'm defiantly counting that as my baptisms i worked with them from contacting them all the way up till a week before they got baptised! always going to keep in contact with those two AWESOME families!! love em to death.
and you all two love you bye!
