Week 63 (Nov. 3, 2014)

Family,
I just want to you to know that I am super jealous of your Vegas trip. Yes mom that little village part in Vegas is probably exactly the same as it is down here.

This was a very good week. First off WE HAD A BAPTISM! David. He was a golden investigators. Ever since we met him he wanted to know more about the church. We had his baptism planned for the next week, but while we were in a lesson with him, one of the members reminded us that the Ward temple trip was next week and that if we baptized him that week not many people would be able to go. So the member commented, ´´Just do it this week.´´ David was excited and accepted. So we went with the member that same day to do the interview. Also Davids family showed up to his baptism. So after we talked to them. They were very excited. They also came to church that Sunday. We were able to talk to them, the dad said that he has a few promises he has to keep with another church but in January he will finish them. They want to be baptized as well. We are going to work on getting the rest of his family baptized before January though. They are a very special family.

 

 

Also this week we went to do contacting in the cemetery for day of the dead. } We really didn't have to much luck there because it is a very small cemetery and well not many people showed up. With a few we were able to show a video and explain the plan of salvation with them. The only problem is that they live in barrankas and I don't know what area that is a part of. We did fight with a die hard catholic family though haha. We stayed there for a few hours but then left to get ready for the baptism.
That was our week. We are still working with a few other investigators that are progressing very well. We hope to have another 2 baptismal dates by the end of this week.

Also this week a missionary came home in the other ward. We were here with the other elders when she showed up. it was cool to see a missionary return but it was also weird because I started to think about what I is going to be like when I get home. 

 

That was our week. I love you all a ton!!!
