we got changes. Elder Hutchison is leaving... im super sad. ill miss him. but he´ll still be in paraguay. We kind of figured hed be leaving. thats why we changed the date of the baptism to tuesday and not saturday, so that he could be there. i dont know if thats cheating.
well in other news, one of our investigators started reading the book of mormon very intently. like almost memorized every verse. and can barely read. he told us the story of up until lehis dream. so we knew that he serioulsly had been reading a lot. he told us that he started praying, too, and loves it. feels so good. he told us he has real desires to go to chruch and be baptized.
we were thinking ´´this kid is awesome!!´´ he was so sincere, and showed great desire. Well, the next week, we went back, and he hadnt come to chruch. we asked him about why he didnt come. And he told us that he couldnt come because he got baptized in the chruch next to his house! ah!! didnt see that coming! So we explained the restoration of the preisthood again, and he listened intently, and said that hed be willing to be baptized again. but... he didnt come to chruch this sunday.... i guess he changed his life, so thats good. he definitely repented of a lot of things and thats good... but we did not expect that our visits and his reading of the book of mormon would get him baptized into another church
more importantly, we played kickball again today. i was 5 for 5. with 3 doubles and a home run. I probably should have gotten a triple on one of the doubles i kicked, but i made a base running mistake. so i guess im out of my slump.
