Preparing the Font-Acting in Faith

This week was crazy. We had the district conference this week so we had to get to try and figure out how to rent a bus to get all the members and investigators from Tlahualilo to Chavez, about an hour away in car. So we called the District President and had to do a DAP, that is take out tithing to use it for purposes of the church, and after an hour and a half got everything ready for the conference. It was actually really cool to get everything together and load up the bus. In total 35 members showed up and our investigator F. We loaded up and headed for Chavez haha.

We also cleaned out the baptismal font this week to show the Lord we are ready for baptisms, and let me tell you it was a sacrifice haha. The baptismal font sits outside the house of prayer without any kind of covering, so it was full of water, mud, garbage, bricks, rocks, bugs, a body (haha, naw but close), and what did we have to clean that sucker out? two buckets and a mop....hahaha I forgot to bring my camera but it was a chore.

F. showed up to the conference before anyone else, showed up right on time and had to sit around and wait until the members decided to get there. He will be such a great disciple of Christ when he is baptized, just gotta get him married haha. 

We also had a lesson with R. to teach him the word of wisdom and when he found out he can't drink coffee, he didn't complain, on the contrary, he thanked us for telling him what the Lord wants him to do and told us the coffee will be chucked out. He couldn't come this Sunday to church because he had to go to another town to fix some stuff with his retirement plan but this Sunday he promised us no matter what he would be at church.
