This week was great! It was a crazy battle but we were able
to baptize a lady named Ana. I will include pictures as well. It was a battle
because we marked her on Wednesday to be baptized on Sunday right after
church....well we had great reason to believe she was breaking some
commandments because she always talked about "a friend" she has that
does lots of things bad but she never had any problems...so we thought maybe
she was using friend as a cover but she was asked TONS of hard very direct
questions in the interview and she passed...well we did a division on Saturday
so the Zone Leaders could do our interview and we got stuck not getting back to
our area until like 6:30-7 so then we are trying to play a whole baptism
starting at like 7. She is a big lady so we could not find clothes in our
chapel...so we started freaking out...we called the other elders who went to
their chapel at like 10 and broke into the clothes closet trying to find
something huge for her...well they thought they found something so we woke up
early on Sunday...after staying in the chapel until like 10 to get programs and
everything worked out...members probably hate us because we called to ask them
to give talks at like 945 the night before...its all good. But so we got up
early and went to the other elders chapel...and they didn´t have anything that
was going to work...so at 8:15...church starts at 9:30 but at 8:15 we call the
relief society president and tell her the problem...she says "i will call
a family right now that is "sufficiently strong" and ask them to
bring some clothes" she called back and said she thought she had it
solved. So we go to church and the people who were supposed to give her a ride
show up without her...she never showed up...they waited for like 20 minutes. So
we call and call and get a member ready to take us over there...in the middle
of priesthood (priesthood is first here now) and finally she answers and i
guess they had a sick kid in the night and slept in but her husband gave her a
ride then everything went really well after that but man it was madness!! I am
super tired!!
Wow i can´t believe Tony is an elder already...crazy!! I
realized that my comp will have 9 months in the mission this week and i will
have 9 months left in the mission this week...weird! Dad did tell me you guys
bought one but i haven´t heard anything else about it and i never got a picture
or anything. Haha i am proud of you for surviving camping!!
The weather here is still pretty warm...i can´t believe how
fast summer has gone...it is really flying by! I doubt i will need more warm
things....i have only worn a long sleeve shirt 2 or 3 full days in my mission
so far. It isn´t really ever super cold...just rainy...i have never been up
north in the winter though so who knows.
I did get the package with the journal and the pills...it
was ripped open and like stuck in a bigger plastic bag with a note saying it
got to the mail people here like that...it had 2 things of pills, journal,
teeth stuff, and rootbeer barrels right? i think that was all it had when i got
it.
Thanks for everything mommy!! I love you lots!!!
