Update (7.18.11)

Fidel got baptized yesterday! It was awesome! This branch is small so any baptism is a huge deal for the branch and everyone is really excited about it. The Stake President came for sacrament meeting and he stayed for the baptism too. My companion baptized Fidel! I was excited for them. Fidel tried to get me to baptize him but we didnt have time to go grab my clothes so my companion had the privlege. ( I have no clue how to spell that word anymore.) Elder Rasmussen and I gave talks in sacrament meeting also. I spoke on how to befriend recent converts. Its sort of a little bit of what I talked about it my last talk in Los Volcanes so I just pulled some stuff from that.

I did a mini cambio last week and went to Chillan with another Elder for the day. We were in a small town and a drunk, agressive guy came out of a house and he followed us. He wasnt making too much sense but I stuck out my hand to shake his and he tried shaking my hand as hard as he could. I talked to his other friend there who wasnt wasted and then we tried to walk away. The agressive, drunk man came running after us and so we walked a little quicker and when I wasnt looking, he kicked me super hard! He tried to kick the Elder that I was with but I gave him a heads up and he dodged it. The man was kind of mad that he missed him so he came running after us and we finally got away! It was pretty crazy and it was a small town so there werent too many places to run to but he finally went away. So now the count in the mission is being kicked twice, having I dont know how many things thrown at me and pushed into a wall once in the mission! I think I would have been a little bit more nervous if I wasnt a missionary but I just stay mellow because we have the Lord´s protection so its no big deal.

We pretty much baptized our only investigator so we will be contacting a lot now. For some reason, I am really excited to! I love finding the chosen so we have to show our diligence and the Lord will bless us!

Love yall!
Elder Gregory
