Well, we´re officially in the holiday season, with less than 3 weeks
until Christmas :D

This last week flew by, as has been the custom lately. We had two
baptisms planned for Satruday that didn´t happen, but I think
everything happened for the best.
The cousin of our most recent-convert, has been progressing bastante
(I don´t know how to convey that meaning in english). He is 60+, and
lives alone. He went to the baptism and confirmation of Mizé, and
liked it a lot. One big problem was smoking- he´s smokedaround 12
cigarretes a day for 39 years. We talked about the WoW this week ( and
he already knew he needed to stop). But it was amazing for me to talk
with him about this problem and addiciton that he knows and wants to
stop. He even started to cry during our lesson, talking about how hard
it is. I had never comprehended well until that moment truly the
anguish and suffering that an addicition can cause. But I know that
the gospel of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice can relieve that
suffering. That very night, Orlando stopped smoking, and he hasn´t
smoked since!!! It´s been amazing to see the difference in his life
and countenance.

This week was pretty mcuh full of normal stuff. Yesterday it rained
like nothing else. It was pretty mcuh pointless to have an umbrella!
The streets turn into rivers here, and both my coat and skirt were
literally dripping water when we got home, and my shoes full of mud.
But it was a good day! I love missionary work and I love being here!
