More Baptisms

Thanks for the info for the mission. I´ll get that taken care of asap.

Tell Dad that I´m pumped for the dbacks!!!

Well this week we totally had 2 more baptisms! Woot! We baptized them on wednesday, and at the baptism the ward gave them a picture of the temple in Lima to help remind them of the goal to be a forever family. The biggest problem that we had been having was that the Dad was quite the achoholic until the missionaries found him. But after severa sets of missionaries We were finally able to help him get over the adiction (mostly) and be ready to get baptized. At the service it was really cool because the 15 year old daughter who lead the way about 6 months ago getting baptzed, gave a very simple but powerful testimony challenging her parents to prepare to be able to go to the temple and get sealed as a family. Really really awesome.

We also had a fun experience this week with the Presidente. We had the ZL council this week and after playing soccer all day monday and then having a lot of things to talk about on tuesday, we had...ceviche! You´ll have to ask Carol about the ceviche but it was really tasty and it didnt make me sick. So that was good. Haha, oh yeah it was funny because during the game on Monday one of the new ZL managed to facture the president´s pinky toe, so he was walking around without shoes on during the whole training. Luckily it wasn´t too bad of a facture and should heal up pretty quick lol.

About 2 months ago we left a part member family because they werent going through with their compromises and so we had to leave them. But this week we were contacting over there and we ran into the oldest son who isnt a member (yet) and like when we had tried to teach him before he wouldnt even come out of his room to talk to us. So yeah we just tried to be his friend and were able to gain his confidence. There was a stake activity going on in our chapel so we asked him if he wanted to go, which he accepted and we were able to bring him over to that and introduce him to the members and we showed him around and when we got to the baptismal font he started asking us about what he needed to do to get baptized. OH YEAH! So we challenged him to get baptized on the 27th and he accepted and so we are working hard with him now. He is a bit shy about praying out loud but no worries he´ll get there. He is 19 so we have a potential missionary candidate a year from now and on top of that he has 3 younger brothers, on of which we gotta baptize too. So send some prayers for Davey :)

Love ya
