Wow. This week was full of absolute miracles. So we have wrote you about Gary and all of his progress. How he was ready to get baptized the 22 of march. We also wrote you about how Gary was having some difficulties and how he told us that he didnt want to get baptized anymore. Hermana Alvarado and I were devastated because we knew that he was ready and that Satan was attacking him, so that he wouldnt be baptized. So we prayed and prayed and had all the faith that somehow God would touch his heart and help him remember why he wanted to get baptized in the first place.
Our prayers were answered!! We went back a day later and he was SO happy and apologized and told us how much he wanted to get baptized. We had his baptismal interview on my birthday and he passed with flying colors. Best birthday ever!!! Sunday came and he came to church, but not alone. He passed by for three of our investagators and they all came to church with him! It was so overwhelming and we were all SO happy! But that isnt all! The baptism was at 4 30 pm in Antigua. This week the Catholics had a HUGE prossesion in Antigua so none of the buses were running.
We were going to have the baptism whether there were buses or not.
So we walked. From San Pedro, to Antigua. Through processiones. With Gary and an AMAZING woman who is in a wheelchair. And a cake. It was literally a miracle. We were laughing so hard cause it was more crowded than Disneyland and with catholics who are all celebrating semana santa...or holy week. We walked about 2 hours and we made it to the baptism and it was beautiful. And we walked back smiling so big.
I am so grateful for my Heavenly Father for helping us see this miracle. Gary is happier than ever and Hermana Alvarado and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to teach someone SO ready to hear the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I know that we were supposed to be in San Pedro for a reason and I am so greatful for all I am learning.
