Week 47 - Hymns of a Hurricane

Yo people. Two more baptisms and a great story to go along with it.

We had 2 baptisms planned this last Saturday, and as we all know if someones about to do something good, Satan always tries to stop it, but we were determined to keep going.
Here's a list of Satan's failed attempts to stop us.

Satan Strike #1- On Saturday, we went all the way early to the house of the people who were going to be baptized, so we could make sure they could get on time for the bus. Well turns out 2 of the 3 buses were broken down, and we waited for 2 hours for a bus to come, and were late for the baptisms. There was also a mothers day activity, and we were late so we had to move the baptisms until after the activity.

Satan Strike #2- We were getting ready for the baptism, and I realized I forgot to brings towels, so I went on divisions with an 18 year old and rode on the back of his bike on his pegs to the apartment to get some towels. Once again, we beat him.

Satan Strike #3- The room that we set up for the baptism, was the room they put the little kids in to eat FRIED RICE w/ THEIR HANDS. A MESS. But we cleaned it up, WE WIN.

Satan Strike #4- The baptismal fount was new, and they had a new door knob with a new key and we didn't have it, so we almost couldn't get into the dang thing. After a short panic, we unlocked the door using a broom stick from the other side. Don't ask, IDK, but God was on our side.

Satan Strike #5- The kid Mario got nervous to get in the water because a lot of people were watching, so we had to tell him everyone would close there eyes, and after 5 minutes we got him in the water. GOD WINS!

Satan Strike #6- After the successful baptisms, we loaded up all of the investigators in a huge pickup trailer to take the investigators back because they lived far and it was late, and decided to go on one more visit. We were way out in the mountains, and very motivated. Went to the house of the people at 7:30 and they were already asleep, and surprise surprise, SATAN SENDS US HURRICANE RAINS. We had to walk up a mountain dirt path to the dirt road, and it was a river. Fell a few times, soaked and muddy, and we had to walk about 7 km or sao home in the pouring rain. Determined not to let Satan win, we sung church hymns which was really funny.

Satan Strike #7- We got home very accomplished that we had defeated the opposition in the day, but to our surprise, we walked into our house, and it was flooded. Everything. Kinda funny and tragic, but cool Honduras experiences YAYYYYYY 😌.

Love you guys, just want y'all to know that when we trust in God, and if hes on our side, we can overcome anything! Love y'all, still chill!
