ONE YEAR, A baptism & preparing to share the Gospel with Maroon 5

January 1 marked Macy's one year mark in the Mission. According to her, time is moving way to fast and needs to slow down. She and Hermana Garcia are working hard but with the start of summer vacation in Santiago it seems like the opportunities to visit with people have pretty much ceased. However, they are being creative and coming up with new ideas to reach out to people. A few Fridays ago they had a sports night at the church. Members showed up and brought their friends to play soccer and then enjoy an impressive potluck. Fun was had by all, contacts were made and another Sport night is in the works. Noche de Jugars are also fun and loved by all and they are looking forward to one this weekend with a member and his wife, who is not a member. 
Baptism - 3 of 4 family members from Macy's last area were baptized last Sunday. It was a reunion of sorts as Macy and Hermana Webb (the companion she taught the family with) were able to attend the baptism even though neither serve in that area any more. Macy was thrilled to be reunited with her Macul ward family and celebrate this special event with all of them. 
SO, Maroon 5 is performing a concert February 28 in Macy's area. Of all the places in the world for Macy's most favorite group to perform!! She takes it as a sign that it is her responsibility to share the gospel with the band (technically, to remind James Valentine of what he once knew). Her plan is to wait outside (their trailer, the arena, a hotel??) until they come out, flatter them and then teach. Stay tuned....
