Week 59 - Bariloche

 

This week! 

So, MIRACLES!!!!! YAY! 

This week, Hebe, cristal ( I might have called her Dina in other emails... she prefers cristal now) and Cenon are getting baptized this week! Well, its like 85% aure that theyll get baptized. Because they didnt go to church this week. On Saturday it was snowing pretty hard and SUPER COLD! Because Bariloche is windy more than anything, id say colder than Rexburg! Well, Hebe and Cenon and Sharito (the six year old in the family) came to the church for a lesson in pure snow... WALKING! like 20 blocks! They both commited very firmly to baptism, well, cenon more than hebe. Anyways. We were So excited until they didnt get to church on Sunday, the next day. So we went to visit Hebe and she started talking to us about how shell never get baptized because her kids are ungratefu and she doesnt want to go to heaven anyways and she will never change her mind and her life is too sad for her to have hope that baptism will help her. We stayed and testified and talked to her for a good while and as we were closing up and losing hope she said, oh by the way, I had a dream last night that the bishop baptized me and the water was warm and I was happy. We were like....  WHAT!!!!???? ANSWER! hahaha Now she is SUPER commited. She has a really really hard and sad life, but she will be very happy and faithful in the church. Turns out that Cristal isnt her daughter. Turns out Hebe is a triplet and her sister had cristal and then killed herself a few hours after so Hebe and her husband adopted her. Cenon has a disease in his kidneys and only has one now. and Shorito, the six year old, has lukemia and they dont want to tell her so shes taking "a vitamin" treatment of chemotherapy every day. Also, The husband died and few years ago and Hebe was violated and beat as a child. She told us it all and that only the judge that did the adoption knows about that and everything and it was just impressive how palpable the spirit was as we then testified of the healing power of the Atonement and of priesthood blessings.
