Unconventional

Did I read that D is playing Flag football? wha?  Hahaha jk thats awesome

 

Ok so we had a fun week this week we had 2 baptisms but I only have pictures of 1 of them. We baptized the 10 year old niece of our RS president. She was way cool and really understood everything extremely well for her age. Her parents were really cool too and even went to the baptism. They would like to get baptized too but they are living together and are not married and the Dad just went on a verrrry long business trip so they arent gonna get dunked anytime soon.

 

The one with pictures is Carlos. He is that kid that I was telling you about and like really it was just awesome to get to know him and be able to baptize him, he was so excited about his baptism that he invited his younger brother to come all the way from cuzco to go to the baptism. So it was fun to have his family there for him suporting (idk how to spell that). The most interesting part was definitely the confirmation. All of Peru had like a regional conference I guess where Pres. Monson, Elder Christensen, Julie Beck and Walter Gonzalez all spoke to the 94 stakes of Peru. So like before the satelite transmission we asked the Stake Pres. if we could confirm the 2 of them, and he was totally fine with it. So like right before the transmission we confirmed both of them in front of the entire stake. It wasnt nerve wracking for us, but for the 2 of them it was a little bit scary haha. But it was interesting to do it like that and the spirit was a little bit different just because of the atmosphere. But definitely a highlight experience.

 

Other than that we keep working as hard as we can trying to bring more people to the church and help them enter into God´s kingdom through the baptismal covenant.

 

Thanks for the pics and the stories!
