WE HAD A BAPTISM YESTERDAY!
YAY! And right after, the Bishop took him in to have his interview for his
priesthood. Talk about FAST! It was AWESOME! Our only slight setback was that
the morning of, we couldn't find him! We literally stalked his house and all
his friends’ houses. But then, at 12:30, we stopped by again (church starts at
1) and he had just gotten home from work. YAY! Well, we had another setback
too. We have a new ward mission leader and our old one was a senior missionary couple
who just went home last week. They took their computer with them and on that
precious computer of theirs is the template for the baptismal program. SOOOOO
we had to make a new one, but the program on the English ward’s computer wasn't
working so we found Elder C, our constant lifesaver, and he tried to
figure it out. It was crazy so we just went to the Spanish ward’s computer and
tried to do it there which resulted in an hour of laughing hysterically as
Elder C and I tried to figure out how to do it. Funny thing about
missionaries is that we don't remember squat about technology! hahaha! The four
of us just settled on a very interesting looking program. THEN it was funny
because the new ward mission leader laid into Elder C, but in a
totally funny way so we were just basically all laughing the whole time. I think
that as a missionary your humor completely changes because we think things are
funny that in real life just aren't that funny. HAHAHA.
In other WONDERFUL news, I,
for the first time ever, finished the rubiks cube this week! Yay! Shout out to
Elder C.
For those of you that don't
know, Elder C is our District Leader and loves to be involved in
EVERYONE's business, hence the reason he is in ALL the stories.
We also had interviews with
President this week. I LOVE THAT MAN! Seriously, I just love him to death
because he is just the best ever! He says exactly what we need to hear to
support us and keep us going. One thing he told me is that I should tell
everyone to stop telling me about when I go home. HAHAHAHA! Now it's not coming
from me; it's coming from him. :) Love that man! He also was very supportive of
me and the things that I have had to go through and he said, Sister Giles, you
have had some very unique challenges that you have had to go through the last
few transfers and I can tell you that that is not how you are going to finish
your mission. He said that people never remember how a missionary starts, but
they remember how they finish. FINISH STRONG! I am planning on doing that, so stop
talking about that! hahaha.
The work here in Brownsville
Well, I used up time. I love
you!
