Wednesday we kind of ended up having a crappy day in which we learned that Raul didn't have the money to get the birth certificates they needed to get married. But then with the help of our awesome relief society president we've been able to organize an activity that we will be doing in the near future to help raise funds for their wedding, and a member was willing to lend them the 100 Bs they needed to get the papers going until the activity can pay her back! It was a miracle!! But then the next day when we were going to go in for the papers we get a call from Raul saying the guy he had a debt to came to him asking for the money and he was forced to give him the 100 Bs the ward had just lent him. So we were once again devastated. But hopefully today that guy will be lending him money again andwe can get the papers going today! If all works out well, they should be getting married and baptized on the 11th, my last day in Trinidad. Please pray for this miracle!!! Raul and Blanca are amazing and Blanca is super prepared to be baptized, we just need a little bit of good luck.
Other than that our week was alright. We somehow mananged to find 21 new investigators this week, which is a new personal record. Elder Reynolds and I are giving it all we got here on the final stretch. This next week we have chuck full of family home evenings with members to help out our investigators and hopefully next monday we should have 3 baptisms! Its all really stressing me out. I'm going to be exhausted coming home.
But talk to you guys next week! for the last time...
