More About Hermana Mago. Amazing Story

My week was pretty interesting. The battle for the Sister Mago was a battle as always.. haha she got chivied or like freaked out and super nervous, but we have a super awesome Relief Society President who came with us to the lesson and got her animated again. But then the day of the baptism happened and it just went nuts, and was the most sketch baptism ever. So this sister is older, has a quarter of a lung left, and is terrified of water, and she can't get baptised in cold water because she might die, oh and she has knee problems, and can't bend her knees, and she is extremly round. So it was just a battle. Nuf said haha. So we were both going to baptize her because she was so large, (which was the best decision we ever made) and we put a chair into the font to baptize her. But the first time, half her body floated, and didn't go in and only dunked her head in, but she freaked out under the water, and inhaled water. and like almost like died... it was aweful. Then when she calmed down she was like I will not get baptized if I have to do that again. but we closed the font and had like the greatest 4th quarter pep talk ever, and she decided to try again and we brought a smaller chair in, and but then we realized that wasn't going to work either, and then the third time we ditched the chair, and I basically held the woman underneath the water and I looked up, and I could see all  the people outside just praying super hard including her family who aren't members, but die hard catholics.  I was praying so hard because, to be honest, I didn't know how I was going to get her out of the water if we got her under because I was like carrying her.  But then this woman showed more faith and willingness then I had ever seen, (you could just see the fear on her face) and put all her trust in me that I could get her out (she weighed close to 300 pounds) and then we went through with the baptism and I  pushed her under and then went under the water myself (that must of been how alma felt in the book of mormon haha), and then I don't know how but we got her out, and she came out and was just sobbing and then (sorry it finally happened on my mission) we just hugged in the font with her just sobbing and saying thank you. It really touched my heart, but she was so happy. It was the greatest act of faith I had ever seen :) and offically the coolest most special baptism i ever had, just comes to show that the coolest moment is always still to come. I had changes this week. Elder Muir went to my old area is Salina Cruz and my new comp will be one of my homies Elder Luna. I'm pumped! Sadley we aren't expecting a baptism tell  next week. But Im just super happy.

Love you guys, write me!!
