Well I have had a few requests to share the story more in depth from last week, when President did divisions with us. Since nothing big happened this week, Ill share the whole story.
So President advised us a few weeks before, that after we had our Zone Conferences, he´d be going out to work with the Zone Leaders.
So Last thursday, we had Zone Conferences from 9 in the morning until 3, and then we were supposed to go to only one appointment with President at 4 in the afternoon. But, the conference didnt end until 6, and so the appointment feel through, but President still wanted to do something, so we told him to come with us to our Family Home Evening with a Member family and a part member family (Roa) That we had been teaching.
President drove us in his car over to the members house (On the way we ran over a soccer ball that some kids were playing with...). When we got there.. nobody had shown up yet... so we left President with the members and ran out to find the Roa family.
We finally got there 30 minutes later, and had a lesson. LESSONS ARE SO NERVE RACKING WHEN YOUR MISSION PRESIDENT IS PRESENT. Anyways the objective of the lesson was to Invite one of the kids, Pedro, to be baptized. He hadnt wanted to be baptized yet because his Aunts are really catholic and are viciously against the Church.
When we got to the point of inviting him for that very weekend, President stepped in and said,
President: "Pedro, Who is your favorite super hero?"
Pedro: "Batman"
President: "And what does batman do?"
Pedro: "He fights bad guys and does good"
President: "Yeah he is really Valient no?"
Pedro: "Yeah he is"
President: "Do you think Batman would be scared of doing what he knows is right? Even if others said bad things about him?"
Pedro: "no"
President: "Thats right Pedro, and by being baptized you will be like Batman, and another super hero, who is even greater. You will be Like Christ. Did they say bad things to Christ as well?"
Pedro: "Yes"
President: "Youre right they did, and you will be Valiant as he was, and follow his example"
Pedro then accepted his Baptism. It was a very cool moment. It was like watching Michael Jordan come out of retirement hahaha.
Afterwards President took us back to the apartment, and me and Elder Christensen almost died of just pure nervousness with President in one of our lessons.
So yeah, theres the story haha
Also, Mauro, Rosa´s husband, was baptized! 90 years old!!!
