This week was pretty good. Alfredo passed his baptismal interview and he's getting baptized this Saturday! We are super excited, especially because Juan, the recent convert of the other hermanas, is going to baptize him!
We also found two great nuevos yesterday! The first one we had to sit down for a minute to pray about what we should do and the dogs in the house started barking at us so we decided to contact the house. As we went to knock on the door, this man comes out the garage door to see why his dogs were barking. His name is Jorge and he was super friendly. He said he was looking for something to fill the spaces in his life and to answer his questions that are really questions of the soul. He was just about to leave though, so we set up a follow up appointment and he told us that he wants his whole family to be there!
The second is a young man that we had contacted on Monday. His name's Luis and he's 15. The other day we went to his house for the appointment we had set and he wasn't there because he was at the hospital with his grandma, but he told his sister that we were going to come so to talk to us. We ended up teaching his sister and had an appointment with her yesterday, which when we went by Luis saw us and he was just like "oh let me get the chairs and bring them out here!" He told us the story of why he couldn't be there the other day and apologized about a million times.
So it turns out that he doesn't really know that much about religion, but he wants to learn! When we asked if he would like to be baptized as Jesus Christ was he said "yeah, I would really like that! I'd be able to leave the lies I've made when I was a little younger and the bad decisions I've made all behind and start a new life" so he accepted a baptismal date for the 18th of March! He also wants to come to Alfredo's baptism on Saturday!
