This Week on Elder Silva's mission it was one of the most saddest and happiest weeks in my whole mission.... Why? Well for many reasons but I would like to share a experience that my companion Elder Jenkins and I had that changed our lives.
So the sister that we baptized, Silvia, turned out to be the hardest baptism that I've had my whole mission. We've been teaching her for almost three months and she has gone to church like seven times and she has been reading the Book Of Mormon and praying constantly. So you would think it would have been easy for her to decide to get baptized however she has had three baptismal dates and all of them fell through. She had two baptismal interviews and she even talked with our Mission President on the phone but nothing seemed to work.......
I received a call on Thursday night saying that I was going to have transfers on Monday to Macuspana and that I was going to end my mission there opening a new area which means starting from zero :( I was really worried about the news and the first thing that came to my mind was Silvia and that she had to get baptized before I leave. I know it might seem kinda wrong but if you were to knew the things that she has received as a testimony of the veracity of the church it would blow your mind. She has had five dreams and three of them were about the Tree Of Life and how she ate the fruit of the three. The other two dreams were about her baptism and I happened to be part of the dream.... Sorry but right know I have to leave and I'll finish this story when I get back.
