For those that will not be skyping me, Merry Christmas!
Yesterday, in the midst of the heat, rain, and overabundance of appointments, I forgot that Christmas was only a week away. Not saying I miss the cold, it's just weird celebrating without it.
Miracle this week: Kathia got baptized. I really wanted to baptize her whole family, but this is the way they wanted it. It's a small blessing that she went before her family because now she is telling them how awesome it is. I'm hoping that they can all unite in faith shortly.
We found Kathia's family by happenstance. We were waiting outside the chapel for the Ward Secretary, to give him the baptism record of Edwin, about a month ago. It began to rain, and, because we don't have keys to the church, we found shelter across the street in the police station. They were there taking care of some legal stuff. We got to talking a little bit, and they invited us to go to their house to teach them. They live in the very most extremity of our area, and it's a twenty minute bus ride to and from their house, but I'm glad we've been making it work because they are a golden family. It just goes to show that you never know when will be your opportunity to make a difference in someone's life.
I wish I had more cool stories to tell, but this will have to suffice for now.
Love you all,
Elder Stephen Watts
