| Elder Busco's First Baptism Nov 4, 2017 |
We had a lot of fun this past week. We met our new comp Elder Furlong.
He's a super cool and funny guy. This transfer is definitely going to
be a blast. We also had a baptism this last Saturday. We baptized a
family of three. Perla and her two kids Alex and Leo. It was a super
cool experience. The Elder that first found her drove down from Utah
to see it. (He just ended his mission the last transfer) We now have
five Elders out here in Chaparral. We ended up with the truck though
and the other two got the bikes so it works out perfectly for me. We
also figured out why we have been getting frozen every morning.
Apparently we have had our air conditioner on high cool the whole
time. We finally turned that thing off, and now we're aren't waking up
to a forty degree trailer. That made it so much easier to get up.
So quite a bit of things happened this week. We met a family that was
crazy into snakes. She had like a six foot Boa. She also told us that
she spent three thousand dollars on makeup. On one Saturday. I don't
even know how that is possible. I guess Hispanics are pretty into
their makeup. And the baptism happened. Everything went perfect, well
except for one thing. I got up and gave what I thought was the closing
prayer in the middle of the baptism. Apparently I didn't pick up on
the Spanish when they said they were going to sing another hymn in the
middle of the program. So I thought it was the closing hymn and
proceeded to get up and give a prayer. So that was a special
experience. I don't think too many people get an intermediate prayer
for their baptisms. We were also talking with a family when a lady
asked us if we liked spicy food. My comp responded by saying of course
cause he is Mexican. (He is like the whitest dude from Utah) She
started laughing so hard, and then proceeded to spend the next hour to
try and make the hottest dinner she could. I was kind of scared cause
she put like a bag of chilies into it. It turned out to not be that
hot though. We also got like attacked by their dogs. They have the
biggest dogs ever that are usually chained up, but when we left the
house they were loose. Someone also left a twenty five dollar
gift-card to Walmart on our truck which was super cool. We also had a
dog that had babies in our shed. I guess we got a pet now. She'll
attack us if we get anywhere near them though. Overall though it was a
super fun week.
