"The Gang"

Yep I need the Stake pres and bishops names. As far as house info I need the phone number and direction, lol I guess I have the direction but I dont remember the phone number.

So yeah in the AMAZING French Toast the recipe was: 1 large can of evaporated milk, 6 brown eggs, some sugar, salt, and cinnamon. We couldnt find vanilla...and I´m not sure if nutmeg exists here. And lol yeah the reason why the french toast was so AMAZING was becuase nobody had EVER had it before. My pensionist liked it so much that she made it this week for us and the whole family haha. The bishop´s kids went out and bought all the ingredients and had it for sunday lunch lol. Good stuff!

So this week we had 3 baptisms!!!! woohoo!! we were really only thinking about having 1 but the spirit works on people and they get hooked. The kid, Elmer, is 16 and belonged to a gang a couple weeks ago. Now his mom tells us that he has completely changed because he comes home on time and doesnt go out in the middle of the night and is reading the scriptures. We are actually picking apart this ´gang´ 1 by 1. I think the bishop is very worried about this though, since there are a lot of YW in the ward. But I really see these kids making some big time changes in their lives. We baptized Cristopher a while ago and he gave us the reference for Elmer. Now Elmer brought 2 more of his gang buddies to church and surprisingly enough they really liked it a lot. And they behaved themselves well and participated in the classes. We have an apt with them on wednesday. Their names are Braulio and Carlos.

The other baptisms were Julia and her daughter Keysi. Julia is da bomb she had been to church 3 times already and said in her testimony that since the very first moment that we entered into her house she has felt a change in herself and in her 2 kids. We were basically waiting on both the kids to get excited for baptism but as I was in divisions with our District Leader teaching them, we felt the need to interview Keysi and Julia and baptism them on Sunday. So we did it. Her son Frank is gonna need a little more help, just because he is an 18 year old kid lol. But we are working on him, he needs to gain a testimony of the Restoration and he´ll be good to go. The whole family got up early sunday morning for their baptism and even though the water was quite cold they both were able to go through with it. Now Julia and Keysi are participating the stake traditional dance festival for their age groups and are so happy. Keysi whined a lot about the cold water because E. Sulcaray promised her that the water would be warm haha but she is still very happy with everything. And really its mostly thanks to the YW that she got baptized. They did a very good job with fellowshipping her.

We should have the baptisms of Roberto and Lourdes Arhuire. Roberto had a dream that told him to get baptized a few weeks ago but they have passed through a couple of difficulties to get baptized but finally they should do it.

Oh a tidbit for Dad. The DL who did all our 5 interviews this week has about oh...1 week as DL lol. And talking with him for a bit during splits turns out that his Dad also served in South Korea! Wha?

So yeah this is Elder Connole signing off :) Love ya!
