We had an awesome week last week. We have rejoiced in the progression of many of our investigators, one of which is Jenny, the mother of the boy who was baptized last week. Everybody would tell us that it was "difícil que se bautiza," but she came to church for the second time to support her son who received the priesthood and was ordained a deacon. She said that she loved the gospel principles class and began wondering if she wouldn't like to "make this church her church." She still didn't accept a date, but she said she would read the Book of Mormon and pray. Her other son should be baptized soon, too! He is eleven years old and his name is Steven. :)
Another sweet investigator to work with is a member reference named Luis. His wife has been pregnant for 9 months and one week, and we are very anxiously awaiting the arrival. It will be their first child. The pregnancy has made it difficult for them to make it to church, but Luis has read a fair share of the Book of Mormon and accepted our invitation to be baptized before the end of the month.
The country passed another full week completely peacefully, but last night, and today, tensions have begun to rise again. The buses are not running today, and there are many people who did not show up to work either. President Brown mandated that no one leave their areas for P-day, but we have been permitted to leave the house. He also mandated that everyone create an emergency kit, and make an emergency plan to get to the airport, which startled many missionaries, but I feel like we will not be near needing to use those plans.
Love,
Elder Stephen Watts
