La Victoria es el Campo de Santo Domingo. Scenery
here consists of Trees, arboles (trees) and more trees, and the
occasional hindquarters of a cow. It's beautiful. Many cows here, I have
thought often of my mother and her love of this animal. Elder Dias is
great. He is Brazilian but studied in Venezuela for 14 years so speaks Spanish fluently, everyone thinks he´s Dominican. Then there´s Elder Call whose still on the greeny side and is still white! We arrived in
Victoria Tuesday morning and that afternoon we went to an area about
twenty minutes outside Victoria called La sin Estrellas. Our area is
very big...big.
I had a great first lesson with a family
that lives there, Familia Pena. The daughter is menos activo (less active) but the
parents are receptive to the message. Hermano Pena offered us coffee
upon sitting down and we politely declined. We taught the Restoration
and Hermano Pena seemed really interested, we committed him to reading
the Book of Mormon and his wife told us he´s been reading!
The
picture is of our Baptism this week. The investigator is named Ruth, a
new convert Deibi baptized her, it was awesome. He missed a word the
first time, but he nailed it the second. Elder Dias sang a child´s
prayer in Portuguese, English, and Espanol, it was good.
Love you al!
Elder Call
