So I'll start writing about this week from the beginning.
So the changes started off, and we worked like normal Tuesday, not much special.
Wednesday, we had a zone meeting and I met all the new people in the Zone, and saw who all left. So yeah that was fun.
Thursday we continued working here, We gave a great lesson with one of our investigators. Angela. And it was on Chastity. And she said something super surprising. Well as a backstory. People here, they don't ever wanna get married, and lots have babies at like 14 or 15. And she said she wanted to wait to date until she found someone with her same goals, and wants to get married. And wants to marry someone who would support her in her same moral goals too.And that was amazing. One in a million here. But that's advice for all of you. Always look for the people to surround yourself with that will hold your same values.
Friday so to do the baptismal interview with her, we had to go on divisions. So I went with my old companion Elder Fankhauser, and went to Matagalps. So something funny that happened. Well more or less they closed down an area, so they were moving all of their furniture into the zone leaders's all too small house. So they moved like 6 beds, 2 fridges, and 2 large closets. And I got to help move it. We were gonna do a fort that night, but got too tired so I ended up sleeping on a stack of 7 beds. All in all it was fun. Even though it kept raining on us... I've gotten so soaked over the days here.
Saturday. So we had a mother's day activity here, since mother's day is the thirtieth of May here. So we did the activity this Saturday. So we gave the message, and then had some dinner. The Branch President's son has a nice restaurant in Matagalps, so they catered for us. (well we bought from them and they put it in tin foil and someone here picked it up and brought it over) But it was nice. And in the night we had a baptism for Angela, and it was amazing. She is such a great person, and was so ready. Probably one of my favorite investigators. I hope she can stay nice and strong in the faith. That is a hard thing, to see people go inactive after baptism. Let's try our best.
Sunday. We had church, and the Stake president came to visit. And it was nice. They brought snacks for the branch haha so it was all good.
I guess that was my week. Lots of rain, I was sick for a while, and a baptism. Thanks everyone for reading, and remember keep on doing the best you can every week. Every little difference counts.
Love, Elder Vogt

* So Elder Baez performed Angela's baptism. She didn't know who to pick and so I flipped a coin haha.
* Maybe you could pray that we can find new people who are positive to teach. Who will progress and are just waiting to hear the gospel.
