First off, if you did not know CHRIST IS BACK. We were walking to one of our appointments when this homeless dude stops us and asks if we knew that this city (Floriano) was going to burn in (which of course yeah I already knew that) So I asked if he was talking about when Christ returns and he said Christ doesn't exist and when this city burns and we are in Hell we will know that he IS Christ.
Secondly, we found this lady while knocking doors, and she invited us to share a message. Then when we asked if we could say a prayer to invite the spirit she straight up just said no. Then at the end of the message she told us she thought we were part of some Demon Cult or something and that's why she didn't want us to say a prayer. But we were able to explain that we do in fact teach that Christ is our Savior and she was a little more accepting. Unfortunately her family said stuff about us or something because she started avoiding us again. :(
Thirdly, I don't know if the Corona Virus has really affected you guys or not, but everyone here seems to be freaking out about it. But anyways one of the recent converts of the other missionaries here died this Saturday. It was crazy because she was in perfect health Friday and dead Saturday morning which was rather shocking. Don't worry she was confirmed and her ficha (baptismal record) was sent in so everything is in good order. They had a nice funeral for her but still freaking crazy.
In some other news, we were able to bring a family to Church this last week which was super awesome. We are working towards baptizing one of the members of the family because she is the only one actually able to be baptized. However, we are also working towards baptizing another guy who has come to church several times, but hasn't been entirely interested in meeting with us, haha until now when he has started liking one of the young women in the ward but of course she says she will only date a member. So looks like we will be having two baptisms this week and we are working with a few other people to have another 4 next week. All in all this week was one of the better ones here in Floriano
Love you all, and know I pray for you always
