Crazy things happen with Elder Zapata

Miracles continue to occur here in Virreyes, Buenos Aires, so buckle up everybody because you´re about to hear some cool stories. 

Primero, our bishop told us to go visit three less active families and reactivate them, so we went and two of the families really don´t want much more with the Church, well they´re fine with letting the missionaries in their house and listening but not really willing to act. We went to the third house and one of the son in laws of the family was planning to get baptized but when my buddy Elder Young left, something went wrong and Sergio didn´t get baptized. So we went to see him, told him he could get baptized, he came to church yesterday and will be getting baptized this Sunday.

That same family came to church with the grandma, who had come to church before and also talked to the missionaries many times. We went to their house in the afternoon and taught her for the first time, she will also be getting baptized next Sunday.

We also had two baptisms yesterday, Tomy and Kevin, who are grandchildren of Luisa, a super convert who wants to baptize her whole family if only they´d let her. The kids are studs and we are still working with more of their family, it was a really great baptismal service. Tomy´s little brother who is 5 said a really really bad word to his cousin in front of everyone so his mom took him out and they had a little chat which Elder Zapata and I were privileged to hear since we were drying out the floor with squeegee (ni idea how to spell that) so that was fun too. 

Not sure if I told you guys last week but we got to church last week about 10 minutes early and there was a very drunk man on the first floor and he was grabbing everybody´s hand and kissing it as if he were from the 1600s, so yeah I kind of knew what to expect when I shook his hand but instead of kissing my hand he stuck out his tongue as far as he possibly could and licked my hand! Super gross, so as I was escaping to the bathroom to wash it my companion follows me laughing his head off. They later escorted the man out. 

So yeah, we´re doing awesome. Hope everyone is doing great at home! Love you guys!
