Diego was baptized this weekend! It was a trial of faith for me, I'll say haha. We got to the church Friday to fill up the baptismal font, and there was no water... ughh haha. We tried to fix the situation to have the baptism Friday (I called people from Rosario to Paranà that are in charge to fix and maintain the meetinghouses with no luck) So, we ended up postponing the baptism for the next day, Saturday. But, we weren't sure if there would be water in the chapel. So, we made plans to have the baptism in another meetinghouse, which was father from where everyone lives. But we decided to wake up early to check the water Saturday morning to see if we could have the baptism without problems. My prayers were answered, as hot water came out of the pipes to start filling up the font. But, we couldn't stay the whole morning watching the font fill up because we had to clean our apartment to receive transfers, so we left it running with the possibility that when we came back at noon to have the baptism that there wouldn`t be water. While we were cleaning, I was silently praying in my heart to have the baptism with the water and everything in order. When we came back a few hours later, the font was filled with warm water! (Down here, it`s difficult to have warm water for baptism, I don't know why lol) We only had a few people show up because of the mess trying to get everything organized (plus, Colòn played a big soccer game - and lost haha - so everyone was preoccupied with the match) but it was wonderful! Diego was so excited to start his new life in Christ and although there weren't very many people in the service, he had a host of angels cheering him on. I`m so glad to meet so many wonderful people here in Argentina, helping them, knowing them and seeing the same potential that our Heavenly Father has for each and everyone of us. He is planning to go to the temple soon, so that will be great for him!
We also received our TRANSFERS!! Elder Lozano is going to another area, and I`m going to be TRAINING...again! Jajaja I think my companion is named Elder Gent, but I will meet him tomorrow and send yall pics next week. I`m with some other elders in a trio now because all of us are going to be training, so we have been having some fun together.
